Senior Staff Electrical Engineer

About the Team

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. Our team designs and builds advanced Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs), Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs), and Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs). We tackle complex challenges spanning AC and DC power systems, sensor integration, and electromechanical propulsion. As a leading defense and security company with 28,000 employees globally, we foster a culture where diversity is an asset and professional growth is unlimited.

About the Role

We are seeking an innovative Senior Staff Electrical Engineer to join our growing team in a hands-on capacity. This role is designed for an experienced professional who thrives on a wide array of design challenges, from developing new circuit card designs to leading system-level decisions. You will be instrumental in the full lifecycle of subsea electrical engineering, including leading design approaches, analyzing operating data, and conducting rigorous tests to draw conclusions that drive product performance.

In this position, you will not only design and modify AC, DC, linear, analog, digital, acoustic, and sensor systems but also integrate them into robust electromechanical assemblies. You will collaborate closely with Systems, Software, Mechanical, Quality, and Manufacturing teams to ensure seamless interdisciplinary development. The role offers the unique opportunity to build, test, and integrate the very designs you create, ensuring reliability and performance in wet and subsea environments.

While this position will initially be remote or hybrid, it is ultimately based out of our new facility in Bristol, RI, opening in late 2026 or early 2027. You will serve as a technical expert, guiding system-level trade-offs, supporting key subcontractors, and presenting technical concepts to both internal and external customers.
