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 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'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.

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

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

Benefits:

• Paid holidays + 6 PTO days
• Educational reimbursement - up to $500.00
• Relocation reimbursement - up to $1,500.00

How to Apply:

Please complete our short application, and submit your resume, cover letter, and project portfolio. Project portfolios are accepted in any format, or can be appended to your resume. Pictures of your work are appreciated!
