Offshore Recovery Electrical Engineer I Verified today

About the Team

The Offshore Recovery team designs, builds and operates the maritime vessels used to land and recover the Terran R launch vehicle. You will join a lean, fast-moving team covering the full project lifecycle from system requirements and design through shipyard build, activation, and critical offshore recovery missions at sea.

About the Role

• Support design, integration, testing, and operation of electrical systems aboard the recovery barge throughout the engineering lifecycle, including development, construction, sea trials, certification, and offshore mission support.
• Provide engineering support for electrical systems including low-voltage control systems, rocket ground systems, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), networking, high-power distribution, and RF telemetry.
• Support offshore recovery operations by verifying electrical system functionality and assisting with troubleshooting to enable safe and reliable landing and recovery of Terran R.
• Collaborate with engineering, marine, and operations teams to resolve technical issues, improve system performance, and support mission readiness.
• Incorporate lessons learned from initial recovery operations into the design and integration of future landing platforms and recovery systems.

What You Bring

• Bachelor's degree or higher in engineering, with academic projects, internships, or hands-on experience applying engineering principles to physical hardware or electrical systems.
• Foundational understanding of electrical engineering principles and ability to apply technical knowledge to unfamiliar systems and engineering challenges.
• Ability to communicate technical information clearly and coordinate effectively with engineering, construction, and operations teams.
• Collaborative mindset across disciplines, with ability to contribute to shared technical objectives and support activities outside your primary area as project needs evolve.
• Willingness to travel an average of at least 25% of the time, with potential for weekend work and schedule variations to support shipyard activities, construction, sea trials, certification, and offshore mission operations.
• Ability to work in marine and offshore environments as required by the role, including field activities and collaboration during system integration, testing, and operational readiness.

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with low-voltage control systems, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), networking, or RF systems.
• Familiarity with high-power electrical distribution systems.
• Experience supporting engineering, testing, or operations in a marine environment.
