Job description

At Blue Robotics, we enable the field of marine robotics with affordable components and systems. What does this really mean? We design cool tech for use underwater that allows tons of people and organizations to pursue their audacious dreams of exploring and learning about our oceans and waterways.

We have a small and vibrant design team in Victoria, BC with a collaborative spirit that is both humble and bold. We work together to navigate all design steps from the whiteboard to fully tested, volume-manufactured products.

We are looking for a fledgling electronics designer - someone with some PCB experience and a hunger to crank this up a few notches. If you:

• have an innate desire to create new things,
• noodle intently over your projects, and
• yearn to expand your technical depth and understanding,

then you'll likely be a great fit!

Will it all be whipped cream and roses? Probably not. But as a team we'll chip away at this awesome, fun and sometimes infuriating dream that we've decided deserves to become a reality. And don't worry - you won't get stuck on a manufacturing line - you'll design real products and you'll be given the same responsibility as any of our full-time engineers.

Qualifications:

• Currently enrolled in an Engineering degree in a related field (EE, Eng Phys, Mechatronics, etc.)

• Innate desire to collaborate, learn and adapt
• Paid holidays + 6 PTO days
