Electrical Engineering Technologist/Technician

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 

What You Bring

• 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 

Compensation & Benefits

• 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
