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 enables 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 mechanical designer – someone with some CAD 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 will 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.

Responsibilities

• Design new and complex mechanical assemblies, such as pressure-rated enclosures, brushless motors, battery modules, connectors, lights, electronics trays, cameras, and vehicle frames
• Evaluate system failure modes, create validation plans and support the execution of these plans
• Component and vehicle-level testing for performance, durability, reliability, and variability
• Design new lab testing equipment and perform lab testing
• Find, communicate with, and build relationships with new suppliers

Basic Qualifications: 

• Currently enrolled in an Engineering degree in a related field (Mechanical Engineering, Eng Phys, Mechatronics, etc.)
• Proficiency in 3D modeling and drafting of components and assemblies in at least one CAD software package (Solidworks, NX, CATIA, Inventor, Fusion, Onshape, etc)
• Strong and growing foundation in statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, and engineering materials
• Designed, built, and tested some interesting things so far
• Deep, insatiable impulse to understand, and leverage that understanding to create new things
• Innate desire to collaborate, learn, and adapt

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 enables tons of people and organizations to pursue their audacious dreams of exploring and learning about our oceans and waterways. Our community is out there doin’ things – they’re mapping Hawaii’s sickest surf breaks, exploring shipwrecks that have long been forgotten, and building bots that are solving complex world problems.

We’re looking for a human to help to build and maintain our website, which is where 100% of our business happens, so it’s VERY important! Our products are technical and our website needs to match that energy – every product detail lives on our site and like our technology, should be easily accessible. Our website is one of our key differentiators in the industry – there simply does not exist a one-stop-shop for marine robotics, and we’ve got big dreams to evolve it even further. For example, we want to make a 3D configurator for our flagship product, the BlueROV2 (can you do that?? :p )

You should be obsessed with fast, clean, organized websites and be excited to be the owner of one of our company’s most valuable assets. We need someone who is not afraid to tackle urgent problems (like that one time we had XXX malware ads coexisting with our how-to guides :sweats heavily: )

We are seeking a skilled Full Stack Web Developer to join our team and manage bluerobotics.com. The ideal candidate will have experience with WooCommerce, WordPress, and more, maybe even the ambition to build something better from the ground up. You will be responsible for website maintenance, performance optimization, and developing new features to enhance the user experience, and eventually an entirely new website.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain the Blue Robotics website using WordPress and WooCommerce
• Implement custom themes and plugins to optimize performance and design
• Ensure site security, uptime, and fast loading times
• Collaborate with designers to translate mockups into functional web pages
• Troubleshoot technical issues and bugs

Requirements:

• Proficiency in WordPress, WooCommerce, PHP, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
• Strong understanding of SEO and web performance optimization
• Fluent in English
• Based in Brazil (like most of our software team)

Benefits:

• Paid holidays

At Blue Robotics, we’re on a mission to expand access to the ocean. Our tech is being used by everyone from educators and fish farmers to ecotour guides and passionate tinkerers—people who haven’t always had a seat at the marine robotics table. We’re building the tools and systems that help these communities dive in (literally and figuratively) and make ocean tech a part of their everyday work.

We’re looking for a human to join our team as a Blue Economy Channel Builder. What does that really mean? You’ll be working across some of our coolest strategic initiatives—like BlueSTEAM Ahead (education), Grow Line (aquaculture), and Bubble Time (recreation + ecotourism). You’ll help bring these programs to life, connect with the communities that use our products, and make sure we’re building systems that actually work for the people they’re meant for.

This isn’t a stay-in-your-chair-all-day kind of job. You’ll be out visiting classrooms, aquaculture farms, dive shops—anywhere our tech is being used in the wild. These visits are your chance to really understand what’s working, what’s not, and how we can be better. You’ll be the kind of person who listens first, asks smart questions, and always brings back insights that move us forward.

Day to day, you’ll be juggling internal team collabs, partner convos, project timelines, content creation, research, and the occasional “wait, what exactly is this new sector and how do we support it?” kind of brainstorm. You’ll need to be organized, independent, and comfortable handling complex projects without someone constantly checking in.

We’re looking for a thoughtful, curious, and mission-driven human who’s excited about the future of the blue economy. If you love the ocean/water in general, love meeting people doing amazing things in unexpected places, and are hungry to turn good ideas into real-world impact—we want to meet you!!!

Please include a cover letter in your application and let us know why you want to help Blue Robotics shape the future of the blue economy 🙂

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage daily coordination and execution within the BlueSTEAM Ahead, Grow Line, and Bubble Time initiatives
• Maintain strategic partner relationships by providing regular communication, gathering insights from their experiences, and coordinating support where needed
• Support partner engagements, including occasional in-person activities with key collaborators in classrooms, aquaculture farms, or recreational settings
• Lead the development of resources such as guides, documentation, simple training materials, and operational playbooks that support technology adoption and market development
• Track program and initiative progress through internal systems, ensuring activities are documented and outcomes are measured
• Conduct research and analysis to understand market conditions, assess program performance, and surface new opportunities within our focus areas
• Support channel building efforts by helping design and refine scalable systems that connect our products with users in education, aquaculture, recreation, and beyond
• Maintain clear and consistent communication both inside the company and with external partners
• Bring structured thinking, strong organization, and steady execution to help grow and solidify Blue Robotics’ presence in the emerging blue economy

Requirements:

• A bachelor’s degree (or equivalent 4-year degree)
• 3+ years of full-time experience in B2B sales, program development, education, or another relevant role—bonus points if it’s in ocean tech, marine science, or something equally salty
• A strategic thinker who can also zoom in on the details—someone who’s just as comfortable planning long-term growth as they are jumping into a spreadsheet or building a slide deck
• Super organized and able to juggle multiple projects without breaking a sweat (or at least not visibly sweating 😅)
• Great communicator who can build strong, trusted relationships with partners and teammates alike
• Comfortable taking initiative and updating the team without being asked (you don’t wait around for permission)
• Fluent in Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Slides—you get it)
• A team player with a love for learning, creative problem-solving, and thinking way outside the box
• This is a hybrid role—we’re looking for someone who’s semi-local to Los Angeles and available for occasional in-person meetups and partner visits

Travel requirements: 30%-50%

Salary: $75k – $90k

At Blue Robotics, we build affordable marine robotics components that open up the ocean to everyone—from high school students to research labs to people who just love building cool stuff. Our products power underwater exploration all over the world: think reef monitoring, shipwreck diving, fish farming, wave energy testing, and even a few backyard submarine projects.

We’re looking for a curious, capable, and tech-savvy human to join our support team as a Technical Support Specialist. You’ll be on the front lines with our global community, helping folks troubleshoot hardware and software issues, answer technical questions, and keep their ocean projects on track. Most of the action happens over email, but sometimes it’s a phone call, video chat, or even a screen-share deep dive (pun very much intended).

This role is perfect for someone who loves solving puzzles, gets a thrill from helping others succeed, and maybe has a few microcontroller side projects brewing at home. If you light up at the idea of tracking down a weird bug, explaining how a PWM signal works, or helping someone install firmware on an ROV, keep reading.

This is a chance to grow with a company that’s pushing the boundaries of who gets to explore the ocean. If you’re stoked about tech, love helping people, and want to make marine robotics more accessible to the world—we’re so excited to meet you!

Please include a cover letter in your application and let us know why you want to help Blue Robotics customers keep their projects afloat 🙂

Responsibilities:

• Be the go-to person for customers who need help with setup, troubleshooting, or integrating our tech into their builds
• Provide top-notch support via email, chat, and the occasional video call (no soul-draining call center vibes here)
• Reproduce bugs and issues to help our engineering team squash them 🐞
• Help maintain our technical documentation and knowledge base (and yes, we love a good diagram)
• Collaborate with the engineering, ops, and customer experience teams to make sure we’re always improving
• Occasionally test new products, write up findings, and help make sure things are working before they go out the door

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field (or equivalent experience)
• 1-3 years of experience in a technical support, engineering, or tinkerer-adjacent role
• Strong troubleshooting chops—both hardware and software
• Familiarity with electronics, microcontrollers, sensors, or robotics (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, etc.)
• You know your way around a multimeter and a soldering iron (or are excited to learn)
• Comfort working independently and managing your own task list
• Solid written communication skills (you’ll be explaining complex things clearly and kindly)
• An interest in ocean tech, marine science, or robotics is a big plus
• Hybrid position (semi-local to Los Angeles preferred)

Extra credit if you:

• Know what I²C, UART, or ESC stand for (and maybe even what they do)
• Have built a robot, ROV, or anything that runs on firmware
• Are familiar with GitHub or have contributed to open-source projects
• Have worked with remote teams or customers around the world
