Embedded Hardware Engineer
At Vessev, we're defining a new category of marine transport: hydrofoiling electric vessels that are genuinely better for people and the planet. Our boats fly above the surface using advanced hydrofoils, control systems, and electric propulsion – designed and built here in Aotearoa.
We're looking for an Embedded Hardware Engineer who wants real ownership over what they build to join our Electrical & Systems team. This is a chance to help build the technical capabilities of a category-defining, Kiwi startup from the earliest stage.
The role
Right now, Vessev relies on a mixture of off-the-shelf and in-house electrical and electronic components which means we can be beholden to someone else's roadmap, pricing, and constraints. This role changes that. You'll lead the design of our own PCBs and embedded hardware, giving us control over our own technology, IP, and story.
Your designs will span the boat's core electrical systems and involve working closely with the wider electrical and engineering teams. You'll be trusted to make sound design decisions and hold your own, with minimal oversight.
What you'll be doing
Design, modelling and testing
- Design and model PCBs and embedded hardware systems from concept through to validated prototype, including bring-up, bench testing, and validation of new designs.
Technical analysis and compliance
