POSITION RECAP You’ll be the reason our robots come back. Power, control, and the links that hold them together are yours, from first schematic to the board that ships, tested in real water, not just on the bench.
DEPARTMENT Engineering, R&D;
EMPLOYMENT TYPE Tempo pieno, 36h/week
LOCATION TYPE Hybrid, starting mostly on-site
Starting between €40,000 and €50,000 TC (Total Compensation), depending on seniority, and up from there . C1 to B1 for entry to mid-level seniority, up to B3 for more senior roles, under the Italian Metalworking Industry National Collective Bargaining Agreement (CCNL Industria Metalmeccanica).
We’re hiring more than one Electronics Engineer right now.
R.L. builds marine surface and underwater robotics for ocean biodiversity monitoring. We design whole systems vertically , building our own prototypes in-house and testing them on our own sea sites. Engineering and lab work run out of A5’s marine robotics laboratory in Puglia.
This role sits in the marine robotics engineering team,
responsible for the on-board systems that power and control A5’s autonomous underwater and surface robots: imaging and sensing systems, control boards, power distribution, thruster controllers, and the communication links that hold everything together. Every hour a robot spends operating without a cable back to shore depends on electronics that don’t fail under extreme environments.
We build our own PCBs in-house, so we’re looking for an engineer who wants to own a board from first concept schematic through prototypes, testing, and pre-series .
Iterative engineering through trial and error is part of our process: a part that fails at sea teaches you more than a simulation ever could. Shortening that loop includes working with new tools, AI included, as part of how you design and validate. Who we’re looking for Someone who’s built and debugged real electronics , not just simulated it. You’re just as comfortable with a schematic as with a soldering iron, and you don’t need
