Description
SAIC is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer for our customer site in North Charleston, SC.
Roles/Responsibilities : (include, but are not limited to)
- Develop a modular, power distribution architecture for distributed maritime sensors
- Integrate voltage-level negotiation for subsystems (similar to that of USB-C PD).
- Incorporate renewable energy solutions such as wave harnessing, solar, peltier into a system architecture for improved persistence.
- Perform power budget analysis to inform power system and support sensing, communication, and edge processing operations of complex systems.
- Develop designs for signal/power PCBs using best practices for trace routing, thermal management, signal isolation, and grounding.
Qualifications
Required Education:
- Bachelor's degree and five (5) years of experience
Relevant Background/Experience

- IoT experience with low-SWaP sensors and systems.
- PCB design for DC power distribution.in small, distributed (IoT) systems incorporating power toggling via microcontroller, renewables, and modular design.
Desired Skills:
- Power Distribution Design for DC Systems
- PCB Design (Power and Signal)
- Proven development of power control systems for low SWaP architectures to improve or maintain persistence on power source.
- Experience with microcontrollers (C++, microPython, circuitPython, standard Python) for interfacing with sensors, relays, etc.
- Knowledge of renewables and integration of various technologies to improve system performance.
- Familiarity with marine connectors and knowledge of electrical systems in highly corrosive environments.
- Experience developing system-level electrical architecture with minimal oversight.
