Deep expertise in HV/MV subsea power systems (energy or oil & gas)
Strong command of manufacturing, testing, and supply chain strategy

Why this role stands out:

Lead cutting‑edge engineering, not follow it
Solve high‑impact, technically complex challenges
Shape the future of subsea power infrastructure
