Job Description:
Job Description Job Description Saronic Technologies is a leader
in revolutionizing autonomy at sea, dedicated to developing
state-of-the-art solutions that enhance maritime operations through
autonomous and intelligent platforms. We are seeking an Systems
Architecture, Integration, and Test Engineer (Electrical and/or
Software) to drive key electrical & software integration
initiatives for our cutting-edge autonomous vessels. In this
pivotal role, you will be responsible for ensuring the electrical
and software systems that enable autonomy, control, and
communications meet reliability and integration requirements. You
will lead efforts in electrical architecture design, software- and
hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) verification, and failure mode analysis
for electronics and embedded systems. Working with electrical,
software, and other engineers, you’llidentify reliability drivers,
define test requirements, and execute end-to-end full lifecycle
system performance verification across mission scenarios and
environmental conditions. Your expertise will be crucial in
ensuring the reliability and performance of our innovative maritime
technology as we advance towards the future of autonomous vessels.
We know great people don’t always check every box. We also know
that confidence gaps and imposter syndrome can hold great people
back. If you’re excited about the work we’re doing but you don’t
meet every qualification, we still want to hear from you. Some of
the best people on our team started this way. We value builders,
problem-solvers, and people who learn fast, and we’re far more
interested in what you can do next than what’s already on your
resume. Your unique experience and perspective might be exactly
what our team needs, so we encourage you to apply anyway!
Requirements Lead electrical and software system integration
efforts, and work cross-functionally to ensure aspects such as
signal integrity, power management, communication protocols, and
autonomy behavior meets design intent and system requirements
(design criteria) Define and maintain system-level electrical and
software interface requirements using Jama and internal tools,
ensuring clarity across design teams Help develop and execute
integration and validation test plans for electrical subsystems,

Define and execute electrical reliability tests (e.g., EMI/EMC,
power cycling, thermal stress) to validate robustness and fault
tolerance Support root cause investigations for electrical and
software-related failures, coordinating corrective actions and
preventive measures Lead technical reviews related to system
interfaces, electrical integration, and software verification
results, ensuring feedback is integrated into design updates Mentor
other engineers in best practices for electrical and software
reliability, including fault-tolerant design, redundancy, and
diagnostic coverage Define top-down use cases, system architecture,
and design reference missions for products alongside product
architects and responsible engineers Define, document, and maintain

integration, and testing Develop, own, and execute subsystem- and
system-level verification and validation (V&V) plans to ensure
designs meet functional, performance, autonomy, reliability, and
safety requirements Define test objectives, configurations,
procedures, and success criteria for subsystem and full-system
integration tests Lead root cause analysis/failure investigation,
and corrective action for issues found during R&D and
qualification testing alongside the development, quality, and test
teams. Develop and maintain internal data analysis and
visualization tools to streamline test reporting and
decision-making Collaborate closely with mission operations, design
engineers, and other stakeholders to collect, analyze, and
interpret in-field or post-deployment data, feeding results back
into design iterations Work with hardware-in-the-loop (HITL)
