About the Role
Poseidon Ocean Systems develops rugged industrial aquaculture technology for fish farms worldwide, including industrial automation systems, diesel/electric compressors, engines, liquid-gas mass-transfer systems, and more
As part of the Electrical Engineering team and reporting to the EE Manager, you’ll take ownership of electrical designs from concept through production, collaborate closely with service and manufacturing teams, and see your hardware deployed on remote coastal sites worldwide
Responsibilities:
- Design & Documentation – Produce schematics, wiring harness drawings, control‑panel layouts, and BOMs across the product lifecycle
- Prototype & Validate – Build prototypes, run simulations, create test plans/scripts, and field‑test equipment at remote sites
- Automation & Controls – Program and commission PLC/HMI systems; integrate sensors, VFDs, motors, generators, compressors, pumps, and oxygen systems; connect systems to cloud dashboards for remote monitoring
- Troubleshooting & Support – Diagnose issues in PLCs, sensors, PCBs, and networks; work with production, service, and applications teams to improve manufacturability
- R&D & Continuous Improvement – Research new components, develop next-generation products, and participate in design reviews to enhance performance and reduce cost
- Travel – Visit remote sites for commissioning and troubleshooting as needed
Preferred Qualifications:
- Diploma/B.Eng. in Electrical or related field
- 5+ years of relevant experience
- Excellent understanding of electronic principles and industrial electronics
- Excellent troubleshooting ability
- Strong attention to detail with excellent problem-solving abilities
- Organized, self-motivated, and capable of handling multiple projects simultaneously
- Driver’s license
Assets: (Nice to have – highlight any that apply in your cover letter)
- SCADA / PLC / HMI Configuration – WinCC Unified, TIA Portal or similar
- Sensor Integration–Pressure, flow, dissolved‑oxygen, temperature (4‑20 mA, Modbus)
- IoT / Cloud– MQTT, SQL lite
- 24 VDC industrial control systems and protective circuitry
- Industrial communication protocols (Modbus RTU/TCP, Profinet, Ethernet IP, etc)
- Basic networking knowledge (LAN, DHCP, Static/Dynamic IP)
- 400 to 480 VAC motor/generator drive systems
- Mixed‑Signal PCB Design – Layout and testing
- Embedded & Test Automation – Firmware in C/C++, scripting in Python
- Standards & Compliance – CSA, CE, IEC 60204 familiarity or similar
- Harsh‑Environment Design – Salt‑spray, IP66/NEMA 4X enclosures, corrosion control
