Junior Electrical Engineer

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 seeking a Junior Electrical Engineer to join our team in Mount Pearl, NL.

📍 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 a Junior Electrical Engineer 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 of mixed-signal PCBs and embedded electrical systems for subsea robotics and sensing platforms  

• Design of wiring harnesses and cable assemblies for electrical systems, considering factors such as signal integrity, thermal management, and EMC/EMI compliance 

• Contribute to architecting electrical systems spanning power, signal integrity, and embedded control  

• Assist in developing and validating 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 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 

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field. 

• Basic understanding of PCB design and mixed analog/digital systems  

 

Nice to Have (Not Required) 

• Experience with subsea, marine, or microelectronics industries 

• Familiarity with tools like Altium, Zuken E3, or LabVIEW  

• Experience with sensor/telemetry systems  

• Experience with power electronics and/or embedded systems  

• Experience troubleshooting issues like noise, distortion, cross-talk, grounding, EMI/EMC  

• Experience using lab testing equipment such as digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, and spectrum analyzers 

 

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 

 

Why Newfoundland? 

• Short commutes, coastal lifestyle, and access to nature  

• Lower cost of living vs Toronto or Vancouver  

• Opportunity to take on more responsibility, faster
