Electronic Engineer (Mechatronics / Offshore Energy)

Location: London (full-time, in-person)

Salary: £60,000 + equity

Start date: 1–2 months

Company: MNRecruit is once again delighted to partner with Samudra Oceans (early-stage, high-growth startup)

About the Company

Samudra Oceans is a venture-backed start-up building technology to support environmental compliance across offshore industries. Working at the intersection of climate, ocean systems, and heavy industry, the company partners with offshore energy and maritime operators to help them meet regulatory and sustainability requirements.

This is a foundational hire in a fast-moving, “build-from-zero” environment with significant ownership and long-term upside.

The Role

We’re looking for an Electronics Engineer with strong mechatronics experience to help design and develop hardware systems deployed in offshore environments.

This is not a pure oceanography role — it sits closer to offshore energy (oil & gas, offshore wind) and maritime operations. The successful candidate will combine technical depth with real industry familiarity and commercial awareness.

You’ll play a key role in shaping early product development, working closely with the founding team, and helping bridge engineering with real-world offshore applications.

Key Responsibilities

Design and develop electronic and mechatronic systems for offshore deployment

Work on hardware integration (sensors, control systems, embedded electronics)

Collaborate on product development from prototype through to deployment

Ensure systems are robust, reliable, and suitable for harsh marine environments

Interface with offshore operators, vendors, and partners

Contribute to technical decision-making in a startup environment

Required Experience

Strong background in electronics engineering with hands-on mechatronics experience

Experience in offshore energy, oil & gas, offshore wind, or maritime/shipping sectors

Familiarity with offshore equipment, vendors, and industry landscape

Understanding of how offshore projects are commercialised and delivered

Comfortable working in a startup / ambiguous environment

Highly Desirable

Existing network within offshore energy or maritime industries

Familiarity with major industry events (e.g. ADIPEC) and key players

Experience working with environmental or compliance-related technologies

Exposure to deploying hardware in marine environments

Profile

Commercially aware — understands how engineering fits into customer needs

Well-connected or able to quickly navigate offshore industry ecosystems

Practical, hands-on builder with a “get things done” mindset

Excited by early-stage, high-impact roles with equity upside

Why Join?

Foundational role with real ownership and influence

Work on meaningful climate and ocean-related challenges

Direct exposure to offshore industry leaders and customers

Equity participation in a high-growth startup
