Electronics Engineer – Maritime Surveillance Systems

About the role

Altamira Robotics is looking for an experienced electronics engineer in Constanța, Romania, to work on CAMMera, a project developing maritime surveillance and detection systems supporting NATO, the Black Sea and Ukraine's security. The system combines sensors, computing modules, communications and power subsystems built for demanding marine conditions. The company describes itself as fully remote, with no commuting or office constraints.

Key responsibilities

• Develop, assemble, configure and integrate the electronic and electromechanical subsystems of CAMMera.
• Connect and integrate sensors, computing modules, communications equipment and control systems.
• Work on power systems, including batteries, voltage converters, load distribution, protection and power consumption monitoring.
• Build and test cable assemblies, connections and equipment installations.
• Diagnose faults, take measurements and resolve issues involving power, signals and component interfaces.
• Prepare equipment for moisture, salt exposure, temperature changes and vibration.
• Take part in laboratory, field and sea trials and improve the system based on test results.
• Maintain wiring diagrams, component specifications, assembly instructions and test records.
• Collaborate with software developers, mechanical designers and other engineers.

Required profile

• Substantial hands-on experience developing, integrating, commissioning or repairing electronic equipment.
• A relevant technical degree or equivalent practical experience.
• Ability to read schematics and technical documentation, select components and verify compatibility.
• Independence and ownership: taking a technical problem through to a tested solution.
• Willingness to work hands-on, travel and take part in field and sea trials.
• Technical English for documentation and communication with suppliers.

Required skills

• Solid understanding of analogue and digital electronics, circuit diagrams and power system design.
• Confident use of multimeters, oscilloscopes, laboratory power supplies and soldering equipment; practical skills in soldering, assembly, connector crimping and troubleshooting.
• Equipment interfaces and protocols such as UART, RS-232/485, CAN, Ethernet, I²C or SPI.
• An advantage: marine, industrial, robotics or defence equipment; microcontrollers, single-board computers and embedded Linux; optical, thermal imaging, acoustic or other sensors; networking, cellular and satellite communications; EMC, sealing and environmental protection of electronics.

What we offer

• Work on a real engineering project supporting NATO and Ukraine's defence capabilities, involved from component selection and prototype assembly to sea trials.
• The chance to influence technical decisions and take responsibility for individual subsystems.
• Collaboration with specialists in electronics, sensor systems, software and machine learning.
• Working terms and compensation discussed individually, based on experience and responsibilities.
• Fair, competitive pay, 20 working days of paid vacation, paid sick leave, public holidays and regular salary reviews.
• Flexible schedule, all the tech equipment needed, and a supportive, non-micromanaging approach.

To apply, send your CV and briefly describe 2-3 projects in which you personally developed, assembled or commissioned equipment, explaining your role, the most challenging technical problem and how you solved it. The process includes a short recruiting call, a technical conversation with experts and a client interview if needed, usually completed within two weeks.
