Role Summary

NEW CAREER OPPORTUNITY

Build your career with Kraken Robotics. Make a difference to others. If innovation drives you, and you want a career that makes a difference to the world, helping humanity overcome the challenges in our oceans – safely, efficiently, and sustainably – then come join us at Kraken Robotics.

Kraken Robotics is currently recruiting for an Electrical Engineering Technologist/Technician to join our Mount Pearl, NL office .

📍 Mount Pearl, NL

Build technology that operates where few others can— deep ocean environments .

At Kraken Robotics, we design advanced subsea imaging, battery, and robotic systems used around the world. We’re growing our engineering team and looking for an Electrical Engineering Technologist/Technician to contribute to the design of mission-critical electronics for next-generation ocean technologies.

You’ll report to the Engineering Manager, Newfoundland (10+ years in subsea systems engineering).

What You’ll Work On

• Design and development of electrical systems within our Remotely Operated Towed Vehicle (ROTV), Katfish
• Designing wiring harnesses and cable assemblies for ROTVs and their associated topside control equipment, considering factors such as signal integrity, thermal management, and EMC/EMI compliance.
• Direct activities to ensure that manufacturing, construction, installation, and operational testing conform to functional specifications and customer requirements.
• Developing test plans and procedures, conducting testing, and performing validation to ensure the reliability and performance of electrical systems.
• Develop and validate designs for extreme environments (pressure, temperature, EMI)
• Collaborate closely with mechanical, firmware, and systems engineers to deliver fully integrated products
• Guide products from prototype → production → field deployment
• Mentor junior engineers and co-op students
• Apply required codes and standards to design criteria

Why This Role Is Different

• 🌊 Real-world impact: Your designs operate in oceans globally—not just on a bench
• 🧠 Technical depth: Complex systems (power + embedded + sensing), not narrow silo work
• 🛠 Ownership: You’ll influence architecture, not just execute tasks
• 🚀 Growing company: Work on products already deployed with global customers across more than 30 countries worldwide

Requirements

• 4+ years of experience in Electrical Engineering Technology
• Proven ability to take the design specification, installation and connection methods of electrical equipment
• Strong written and oral communication skills (technical reporting)
• Comfortable troubleshooting issues like noise, distortion, cross-talk, grounding, EMI/EMC

Nice to Have (Not Required)

• Experience with subsea, marine, or microelectronics industries
• Familiarity with tools like Altium, Zuken E3, or Colab
• Experience with sensor/telemetry systems

Location & Flexibility

• Based in Mount Pearl, NL

Salary

• Competitive salary and RRSP matching
• Comprehensive health insurance, along with yearly reimbursements for fitness equipment or programs
• Generous paid time off
• Hybrid work arrangements supported
• Professional development supported through training, conferences, certifications
