Electrical Engineer - Infrastructure

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.

At Saronic, power isn't an afterthought — it's the backbone of everything we build. From high-voltage distribution systems to precision lighting in our manufacturing environments, the electrical infrastructure at our facilities has to perform flawlessly in support of some of the most advanced autonomous maritime technology in the world. We're looking for a skilled, driven electrical engineer to own that infrastructure from concept through commissioning. 

This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for someone who wants to do more than review drawings. You'll set the company's electrical design and construction standards, guide complex capital projects from early programming through field completion, and serve as the internal expert that both our teams and our third-party partners rely on. Whether you're sizing equipment for a new industrial facility, negotiating a utility service agreement, or standing on a job site watching systems come online, you'll be the person making sure it's done right. 

You'll bring deep fluency in high, medium, and low voltage systems — and a command of the codes and standards that govern industrial electrical design, including NEC, NFPA, IBC, and IECC. Your judgment will shape the electrical systems that power Saronic's growth for years to come. 

If you're a licensed engineer with a track record of delivering complex electrical systems in industrial or manufacturing environments, and you're ready to take real ownership at a company that's moving fast and building something that matters, we want to hear from you.
