About the Company

Q.E.D. Systems, Inc. is a dedicated ship repair company committed to maintaining the integrity and functionality of marine vessels. We provide essential trade services to support naval and civilian fleets, ensuring operational readiness through expert electrical maintenance and repair.

About the Role

We are seeking a California Shipboard Marine Electrician to join our team in National City, CA. In this role, you will report directly to a Foreman or Project Supervisor responsible for executing complex ship repair projects. You will be instrumental in the installation, alteration, repair, troubleshooting, and maintenance of critical electrical systems aboard ships and in industrial repair environments.

Your day-to-day responsibilities will involve interpreting NAVSEA technical drawings, wiring diagrams, and schematics to guide your work. You will determine material needs, select appropriate load and cable sizes, and manage cable runs, including grooming, banding, and packing Multi-Cable Transits. The role requires the proficient use of electrical measuring instruments such as voltmeters, ammeters, and frequency testing equipment to ensure all systems operate safely and efficiently.

This position is ideal for individuals with active-duty shipboard or civilian shipyard experience in electrical trades. While experience with small marine boat crafts, multi-pin connectors, fiber optic connections, and cableways is a plus, the core focus is on executing high-quality electrical work under strict safety regulations.
