quartermaster · Arlington, VA
ABOUT US Quartermaster is building the world's most comprehensive maritime intelligence platform. Our SmartMast™ system transforms commercial and civilian vessels into a persistent, distributed sensing network—combining HD video, AI, radar, RF sensing, and AIS to deliver real-time maritime domain awareness at global scale. With 600+ sensors deployed across 25+ countries and more than 400,000 vessels identified outside of AIS, we are setting a new standard for what ocean surveillance and safety can look like. We are a mission-driven, high-velocity team building dual-use technology for defense agencies, coast guards, and commercial maritime operators. JOB DESCRIPTION We are seeking a versatile and hands-on Electrical Engineer to lead the design, development, and validation of the electrical subsystems that power our SmartMast™ platform—an edge-deployed, Linux and GPU-based sensor node for maritime intelligence. In this role, you will be responsible for the full lifecycle of electrical design, from schematic capture and multi-layer PCB layout through to board bring-up, hardware debugging, and environmental validation. This includes integrating core compute hardware, rugged power delivery, peripheral interfaces, multi-sensor payloads, and EMI/resilience measures required for harsh marine field deployments. You’ll collaborate closely with mechanical, software, and systems engineers to evolve SmartMast™ into a modular, production-grade edge sensing platform. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES - Create schematics and multi-layer board layouts using industry-standard EDA tools, optimized for thermal, EMI, and mechanical constraints. - Oversee PCB fabrication and assembly partners, managing BOMs, performing DFM/DFA reviews, and validating prototype runs. - Integrate and interface peripherals and sensor payloads, including cameras, GPUs, SDRs, GNSS/GPS, IMUs, PoE, radar, and environmental sensors. - Design rugged power delivery networks, including battery integration, surge suppression, an…
