Båtelektriker / Marine Systems Technician – USV

We are looking for a practical and motivated Marine Systems Technician to join our growing team working on Uncrewed Surface Vehicle (USV) platforms. This is a hands-on role focused on the installation, integration, and testing of maritime electronic systems on autonomous and remotely operated vessels.

You will play a key role in turning designs into working systems, ensuring that complex marine electronics are installed to a high standard and are reliable in demanding maritime environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Installation and integration of marine electronic systems into USVs, including:

  • Radar, sonar, and camera systems

  • Navigation and situational awareness sensors

  • Engine controllers, power distribution, and vessel control electronics

• Electrical installation work including cabling, connectors, terminations, and looms suitable for marine environments

• Integration of electronics into confined and challenging vessel layouts, with attention to serviceability and robustness

• Supporting system configuration, bring-up, and fault-finding during commissioning and sea trials

• Working closely with engineers to translate system designs into practical, buildable installations

• Diagnosing and resolving electrical and electronic faults on vessels and test platforms

• Maintaining clear build documentation, wiring diagrams, and installation records

• Supporting workshop activities and on-water testing as required

Mandatory Requirements

• Practical experience as a marine technician, electrical technician, or similar hands-on engineering role

• Strong understanding of electrical and electronic installation practices

• Proven ability to build, install, and troubleshoot real systems — not just understand them in theory

• Experience working with cabling, connectors, power systems, and electronic hardware

• Methodical and safety-conscious approach to working with electrical systems

• Proactive problem-solver with a willingness to take ownership of issues

• Effective team worker with good communication skills

Desirable Experience

• Experience working on boats, marine vessels, or offshore equipment

• Familiarity with autonomous or remotely operated platforms (USVs, ROVs, AUVs, drones, etc.)

• Exposure to marine sensors such as radar, sonar, GNSS, or cameras

• Understanding of marine standards, environmental sealing, and corrosion prevention

• Basic knowledge of networking or data interfaces used in marine systems (e.g. Ethernet, CAN, serial)

• Experience supporting sea trials or field testing

What We’re Looking For

This role suits someone who enjoys hands-on technical work, takes pride in building reliable systems, and is comfortable working both in a workshop and on the water. You should be practical, adaptable, and happy working as part of a multidisciplinary team developing advanced USV technology.
