We’re looking for someone who enjoys working with complex equipment, is comfortable moving between the workshop, dockside, and offshore environments, and is willing to jump into whatever needs to be done to prepare, operate, maintain, and recover subsea robotic systems.

What you’ll own

Supporting field AUV operations, including equipment preparation, mobilization, pre-dive checks, launch and recovery, post-dive maintenance, demobilization, and reporting
Following and promoting safe work practices across dockside, nearshore, offshore, office, workshop, and lab environments
Supporting vessel mobilizations and demobilizations, including preparing, loading, securing, installing, testing, and removing equipment
Assisting with the assembly, integration, testing, inspection, maintenance, and repair of autonomous underwater vehicles and associated equipment
Troubleshooting mechanical, hydraulic, electrical, and general system issues in the workshop and during field operations
Inspecting and maintaining tools, equipment, cables, connectors, fasteners, hoses, mechanical assemblies, and other field hardware
Supporting preventative maintenance activities and helping ensure equipment is maintained and ready for deployment
Supporting product demonstrations, field testing, vessel integration, sea acceptance testing, and other marine operations
Identifying equipment issues and communicating practical feedback to engineering teams to improve reliability, maintainability, and field performance
Maintaining accurate field, maintenance, inspection, and equipment records
Supporting the preparation and upkeep of operating procedures, maintenance instructions, checklists, and other technical documentation
Assisting with deployment planning, equipment staging, shipping, inventory, and mobilization logistics as required
Working collaboratively with engineers, technicians, marine personnel, and other team members during workshop activities and field deployments

By the end of your first six months, we’ll know we made the right hire because:

Field operations are safer and smoother:
You understand our equipment and operating procedures and can reliably support mobilizations, pre-dive preparation, launch and recovery, post-dive work, and demobilization.

Equipment is deployment-ready:
You are proactively inspecting, maintaining, repairing, and preparing equipment so issues are identified before they become field problems.

You can troubleshoot effectively in real-world conditions:
You approach equipment problems methodically, know when you can resolve an issue yourself, and know when to bring in the appropriate engineering expertise.

The team can rely on you:
Engineers, technicians, and marine operations personnel trust you to take ownership of assigned work, communicate clearly, and follow tasks through to completion.
