Job Description

Build the Future of Subsea Micro‑Manufacturing

Join Westinghouse via WECTEC Staffing Services on a 12-month, hybrid contract in Madison, PA to automate underwater Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) with micro-robotic systems designed for extreme conditions.

Mission

Enable non-invasive repair and fabrication on subsea assets—offshore platforms, pipelines, and underwater habitats—by fusing micro-robotics with EDM for high-accuracy material removal without physical contact.

What You'll Do

  • Design for Depth: Lead CAD-driven concepting and prototyping of micro-scale actuators, manipulators, and end-effectors validated for up to 40 PSIG submerged.
  • Integrate EDM: Embed micro-EDM toolheads into robotic platforms—electrodes, pulsed DC power systems for spark generation, and dielectric fluid management to suppress arcing in conductive water.
  • Control with Confidence: Implement GNC algorithms using encoders and cameras for precise localization, alignment, and repeatable operation.
  • Engineer for Harsh Environments: Create waterproof precision tools designed for reliability in radiation environments.
  • Scale and Validate: Conduct design reviews, resolve system-level issues, and transition designs from prototype to production.
  • Optimize Processes: Inspect with precision instruments, analyze EDM data, and tune parameters for wire EDM and sinker EDM to hit tight tolerances and complex forms.
  • Test Relentlessly: Build and test in lab and field, simulate underwater conditions, perform failure analysis, and iterate for manufacturability and reliability.
  • Collaborate and Deploy: Work with vendors on materials and manufacturing; travel occasionally for field testing or on-site collaboration at restoration and manufacturing locations.

Reporting line: Senior Manager, Reactor Components Upgrades (Field Engineering).

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or Robotics Engineering.
  • 7–10 years' experience in a robotics-focused company.
  • Proven expertise in micro-robotics and underwater engineering, including pressure resistance and precision at millimeter scales.

Work Authorization

  • Must be a U.S. Citizen or have permanent resident status (sponsorship not available).

Core Competencies

  • Bachelor's Degree
  • Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering
  • Electrical Schematics
  • Industrial Robot Programming
  • Process Engineering
  • Electrical / Electronic Systems
  • Industrial Electrical Experience
