At BeeX, everyone is dependent; united by enthusiasm for bold innovation. Our multi-disciplinary team thrives in dynamic environments, driving transformative advancements globally. Join us to make a meaningful impact on the world!

You will enjoy this job if you:

• Want to work in fast-paced start-up environment, prioritizing growth over short-term gains
• Like to work independently, as well as collaboratively with team members in other sub-teams
• Have a positive learning mindset, and can quickly absorb knowledge to overcome challenges
• Can assess risk and make time-critical decisions/tradeoffs in imperfect scenarios

Your Role

Your role is Operations Engineer. You will plan, prepare, and execute AUV inspection operations end-to-end — from mission planning and equipment readiness through onsite/offshore deployment, data collection, and post-mission reporting. This role is a critical link between engineering, field operations, and clients, ensuring HAUVs are deployed safely, reliably, and to the standard our clients expect.

Your Job Scope

• Plan and prepare underwater inspection missions, including survey planning, risk assessments, and equipment/tooling checklists.
• Deploy, operate, and recover HAUVs and associated launch/recovery systems during onsite and offshore inspection campaigns.
• Perform pre- and post-mission checks on vehicle subsystems: thrusters, pressure hulls, PCB stacks, wiring harnesses, connectors, and sensors.
• Troubleshoot hardware and software issues in the field, escalating to engineering teams where needed and documenting fixes.
• Process, QC, and package inspection data (video, sonar, sensor logs) for delivery to clients and internal review.
• Coordinate with clients, vessel crews, and site personnel to schedule and execute operations safely and on time.
• Maintain operational logs, mission reports, and equipment maintenance records.
• Support integration and testing of new vehicle builds or payloads prior to field deployment.
• Uphold and continuously improve HSE (health, safety, environment) standards for all field activities.
• Feed field observations back to R&D and engineering to inform product and process improvements.

Desired Qualities

• Degree in Marine/Ocean Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.
• 1–4 years of experience in field operations, offshore engineering, robotics, marine systems, or a related hands‑on technical role (fresh graduates with strong hands‑on project experience will be considered).
• Working knowledge of mechanical, electrical, and software systems; comfortable reading wiring diagrams and basic schematics.
• Hands‑on experience with soldering, cabling/harnessing, or mechanical assembly is a strong advantage.
• Willingness and ability to travel and work offshore or at client sites, including irregular hours when operations require.
• Strong problem‑solving skills and composure when troubleshooting under field conditions.
• Good communication skills and ability to work closely with clients, vessel crews, and cross‑functional internal teams.
• Valid diving certification, offshore safety certification (e.g. BOSIET), or willingness to obtain them, is a plus.
• A valid driving license is an advantage.

Remuneration Package

• Market competitive salary
• Growth opportunities that align with your direct ability in helping the company, rather than an arbitrary corporate ladder
• ESOP / equity participation
• Healthcare support
• Special access to industry events
• Well-stocked pantry with nice snacks
• Support for skills upgrading / learning credits
