Autonomous Underwater Robotics Engineer (Hawaii Housing)

FYRE Global Limited; Hawaii; On-site; USD 70,000 - 110,000; Full time

Job summary

FYRE Global Limited is seeking a Robotics Engineer for autonomous deployment in Hawaii, with housing covered. The role starts from Hawaii for 6–12 months and then moves to the West Coast with regular travel.

You will own real pieces of the hardware, work across mechanical, electrical, embedded software and controls, and prototype rapidly to iterate in days. This is a hands-on, roll-up-your-sleeves position on challenging, ocean-facing projects.

Qualifications

• New graduate or a few years of experience with an engineering degree or equivalent hands-on background.
• A standout record on a RoboSub team or comparable competition (MATE ROV, RoboBoat, RoboNation).
• Hardware you've personally designed, built and debugged that went in the water and worked.
• Comfortable working from a boat deck, in the water, and in the shop.
• Must be eligible for US security clearance — US citizenship required.

Responsibilities

• Helping build real autonomy into a custom sensor — descent, guidance, and a mechanism that locks it in place once it arrives.
• Working across mechanical, electrical, embedded software and controls — deep in one, dangerous in the rest.
• Prototyping fast, failing fast, and turning each failure into the next iteration within days.
• In the pool, then the ocean — no wasted cycles.
• Out on the boat, in the water, in the shop — and owning real pieces of what goes over the side.
