• A positive work environment where employees are respected, supported, and engaged.

Position Overview

Prescient Edge is seeking an Electrical Engineer to support U.S. Navy Medium Unmanned Surface Vehicle (MUSV) acceptance, integration, test, modernization, and lifecycle engineering activities. This is the component-level, micro engineering role within the MUSV acceptance team, focused on the electrical and electronic details that make individual vessel subsystems function correctly. The engineer will work hands-on with cabling, connectors, power distribution, sensors, controls, electrical interfaces, and installed equipment to verify configuration, troubleshoot faults, support alterations and repairs, and ensure subsystem-level issues are resolved before they affect overall vessel readiness.

Key Responsibilities

Electrical Installation, Cabling & Component Integration

• Support installation, inspection, modification, and verification of vessel electrical and electronic components, including cabling, connectors, junctions, panels, sensors, controllers, power supplies, and related hardware.
• Review and validate cable routing, terminations, pinouts, connector configurations, wiring diagrams, schematics, panel layouts, and equipment installation details against approved technical documentation.
• Support integration of electrical/electronic equipment with vessel mechanical, control, communications, payload, navigation, and autonomy-related subsystems while verifying required power, signal, grounding, and interface connections.
• Identify installation deficiencies, workmanship issues, configuration mismatches, damaged components, or interface problems and coordinate corrective actions with the appropriate engineering or maintenance personnel.

Electrical Power, Troubleshooting & Technical Support

• Troubleshoot component- and subsystem-level electrical faults using multimeters, oscilloscopes, insulation testers, network analyzers, manufacturer diagnostic tools, and other appropriate test equipment.
• Evaluate alternating current/direct current (AC/DC) power generation, conversion, distribution, storage, circuit protection, grounding, bonding, shielding, and electrical-safety issues affecting installed vessel equipment.
• Perform technical analysis and fault isolation for sensors, actuators, motors, control circuits, communications interfaces, instrumentation, and other electrical/electronic equipment supporting MUSV operations.
• Coordinate with Marine Systems Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, Government engineers, operators, vendors, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and maintenance personnel to resolve subsystem-level electrical deficiencies.

Test, Acceptance & Verification

• Support electrical inspections, system checkout, integration, operational test, acceptance, and readiness events in laboratory, waterfront, shipboard, and field environments.
• Execute or support test procedures; capture objective evidence; document discrepancies; verify continuity, power, signal integrity, equipment operation, and corrective actions; and support retest of affected components or subsystems.
• Assess test results and technical data to determine whether electrical installations, interfaces, and equipment meet applicable requirements, drawings, standards, and acceptance criteria.
• Provide clear technical findings, deficiency descriptions, recommended corrective actions, and status updates to engineering, program, and operational stakeholders.

Documentation & Team Integration

• Develop and maintain electrical engineering documentation, redlines, schematics, wiring information, configuration records, discrepancy reports, test results, technical reports, and recommendations for decision support.
• Support watercraft lifecycle engineering, engineering change implementation, craft alteration and repair activities, material/component identification, and configuration verification for affected electrical and electronic systems.
• Communicate electrical issues early, work effectively within an integrated Government-contractor team, and help drive component- and subsystem-level technical actions through resolution.
