Working at Blue Robotics
Looking to dive into the world of marine technology? At Blue Robotics, we’re building the tools that power ocean exploration, research, and innovation around the globe. From engineering and software development to manufacturing, operations, and customer support and success roles, there are plenty of ways to make an impact.
Together, we’re enabling the future of marine robotics by making underwater technology more open and accessible. Explore our career opportunities below and join our crew!
We are an equal opportunity employer offering competitive pay, benefits, and perks.
As a Software Developer at Blue Robotics you will be able to clearly see the value that your work adds to our company and maritime community. You will join a small eclectic software development team that works with a range of different technologies, bleeding edge development practices, and an open-source culture of marine robotics enthusiasts, scientists, and professionals.
You will have an opportunity to fit into a contributing role on a number of projects spanning many technologies. Responsibilities will include developing software in new and existing projects, debugging, testing, and occasionally getting wet. We require a fast learner who is independent, resourceful, and able to communicate effectively.
Your main role will be as a developer and maintainer for BlueOS, our open source software that runs on a Linux based computer. BlueOS is responsible for managing communications with the pilot computer from the surface, integrating sonars, positioning systems, cameras, streaming video, and running the autopilot software that controls the ROV. BlueOS implements a web interface to allow the user to configure and manage the system, update the software, collect diagnostic and log information.
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.

Blue Robotics makes affordable, high-quality hardware and software for marine robotics – from underwater thrusters and ROVs to autonomous surface vehicles and the software that runs them. 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.
As our products become more advanced and our production volume increases, maintaining strong, scalable quality systems is critical to ensuring reliability in the field. We are looking for a Quality Engineer who will take ownership of both day-to-day inspection operations and long-term quality system development across manufacturing, new product introduction, and field support.
This role sits at the center of our manufacturing and engineering teams, working closely with production, supply chain, and design engineering to ensure that quality is built into every stage of the product lifecycle—from incoming materials through final assembly and field performance.
The ideal candidate is hands-on, highly detail-oriented, and comfortable working in a fast-moving manufacturing environment where they will directly shape inspection systems, measurement methods, and corrective actions that improve product reliability at scale.

While we already provide a bunch of handy electronics for our customers to tackle all sorts of design challenges, our goal is to enhance our existing catalog and expand into some more challenging and sophisticated areas. To succeed, we need to start growing our team, adding bright, creative people who are driven to attempt new things, push through tough problems, and enjoy the journey!
We are looking to add someone to our team who thinks beyond cookbook electronics, someone who is already noticing that designs must strike a balance between technical elegance, manufacturability, and usability. We’re searching for a person who is keen to expand their skills and capabilities, who yearns to make courageous and creative choices in their designs, while embracing both the advantages and limitations of modern manufacturing processes.
