What employers look forFrom the Electronics Engineer guide
Captains and chief engineers hire people with proven board-level skills. Common routes in are former naval or merchant navy electronics technicians, marine electronics installers from Fort Lauderdale or Antibes, and electronics graduates with practical experience. Yacht experience helps, but a strong trade background often counts for more. Manufacturer training on Furuno, Kongsberg, Sperry or Raymarine systems makes a CV stand out, as does solid networking knowledge.
