Saab Inc.'s Autonomous and Undersea Systems division is dedicated to helping nations keep their people and society safe by pushing the boundaries of technology. As a leading defense and security company, Saab delivers advanced technology and systems to the U.S. Armed Forces, the Federal Aviation Administration, and international partners. Our team is empowered by talented individuals who drive innovation in a business casual atmosphere that values diversity as an asset and encourages a balanced, rewarding life beyond work.
We are seeking an innovative Senior Staff Electrical Engineer to join our growing team working on Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) and Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs). This position is designed for an experienced professional looking to tackle a wide array of design challenges across the full spectrum of electrical engineering topics. You will work on systems spanning AC power (shore and charging equipment), DC power (battery systems and conversion), sensor integration, and electromechanical components like propulsion, motors, servos, and actuators.
This is a hands-on role offering the unique opportunity to build, test, and integrate the designs you develop. You will lead design approaches, analyze operating data, and make critical design decisions based on test results. Your expertise will guide system-level decisions for interdisciplinary teams, ensuring reliability and performance in subsea applications. While this position will start as remote or hybrid, it is ultimately based out of our new facility in Bristol, RI, opening in late 2026 or early 2027.
Applicants selected for this role will be subject to a government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information. As a condition of employment, candidates will be required to pass a pre-employment drug screen in adherence to our federal government contractor policies.
