Blue Robotics specializes in designing and manufacturing underwater robotic components and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs). Our mission is to enable the future of underwater exploration by providing high-performing marine robotics components at an accessible price point. We’re a growing team of 35 people encompassing manufacturing, supply chain, product design, software development, sales, marketing, and support.
We’re looking for a Director of Engineering to lead our established R&D engineering department, including guiding our team, managing our R&D projects, working cross-functionally with our manufacturing and sales departments, and helping us build a great company!

You will be the source of truth for day-to-day process or project updates and a mentor to everyone within your department. Through proactive, positive communication you will be able to ensure our team members are aligned and working effectively towards our goals. You will have to balance day-to-day tasks with long-term improvement projects and unexpected urgent issues that come up.

Blue Robotics is a small and rapidly growing company that manufactures marine robotics components and vehicles like the BlueROV2. 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.
A core component of our BlueROV2 underwater robot is the Raspberry Pi ‘companion’ computer. It is responsible for managing communications with the pilot computer located topside, integrating peripheral sensors like sonars and positioning systems, integrating cameras, streaming video, and running the autopilot software that controls the ROV. The companion software also implements a web interface to allow the user to configure and manage the system, update the software, and collect diagnostic and log information.
As your main role, you will be developing a new software platform for the companion computer with containerization, microservices, web applications and flexible API design. The software will be cross-platform (x86, ARM) and be developed with continuous integration and testing, and automated deployments. The result will be flexible, maintainable and efficient open-source code that is easy for your teammates and users alike to use and understand. You’ll deal with hardware/software integrations and automated testing with real hardware. You won’t be alone in your development efforts, but some basic understanding of these topics are necessary to make valuable contributions to the team.
