About The Position

At Blue Robotics, we enable the field of marine robotics with affordable components and systems. What does this really mean? We design technology 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 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 have a growing list of embedded devices and components either in development now or on our immediate roadmap. Some of these devices include: motor controllers, battery management systems, manipulators, cameras, acoustics, and high-bandwidth communications products. We are looking for an embedded development engineer – a senior designer with a bunch of advanced electronics and firmware experience along with a broad knowledge of adjacent fields. If you: Have an innate desire to create new things with electronics, programmable logic and firmware Noodle intently over squeezing the most from circuit designs & PCB layouts Approach problems intuitively from both a high altitude and great depth - sometimes simultaneously Yearn to leverage and expand your technical chops and knowledge Willingly wrestle complex systems and designs until they behave and function well Enjoy collaboration and nurturing junior designers Resonate with the spirit of open-source software development then you will likely be a great fit! Your help will allow us to release these products into the wild faster, and into the hands of our users. 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.
