What we’re responsible for:
- Designing, assembling, and testing the ROV’s electrical systems
- Hands-on power and technical projects like power distribution and motor controllers
- Emergency plans in case of technical failures
What we use:
- KiCAD software for designing circuit boards
- Project groups to better distribute the workload
Members of our division will gain relevant experience in designing circuits, soldering, and working with power and motion control.
Contact ELECTRICAL_LEAD at ELECTRICAL_EMAIL with any questions about the division.
