SUMMARY:
Sensor Technology Ltd. is hiring a senior founding electronics engineer to establish, lead, and grow a new electronics capability within the Systems Business Unit. The Senior Electronics Engineer is responsible for all stages of new product development (define, develop, integrate and validate) for the electronic sub-systems of Sensor Technology’s systems products. This role will support electronic architectures for high-performance underwater acoustic sensing systems, including towed array hydrophone systems (COMPASS), digitally distributed arrays (Guardian), embedded edge-processing platforms (WhisperLoop), low-noise analog front ends, digitization electronics, and distributed communications between subsystems.
The successful candidate will work across mixed-signal, digital, embedded, and systems-engineering domains, supporting the full product lifecycle from requirements definition and architecture through prototyping, board bring-up, debugging, verification, qualification, and production release. The role requires strong design skills, hands-on capability, disciplined documentation, and the ability to translate system-level performance requirements into practical electronic hardware, interface definitions, test methods, and supplier deliverables.
