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.

Qualifications:

• An Engineering degree in a related field (EE, Eng Phys, Mechatronics, Software, etc.)
• Solid foundation in electronic and microelectronic theory
• Extensive experience developing bare-metal microcontroller firmware
• Experience implementing and thorough understanding of closed-loop control systems and signal processing
• Experience driving and controlling BLDC-based systems
• Broad knowledge of ethernet hardware and firmware stacks
• Designed and debugged sophisticated PCBs a plus
• Specific hardware and software experience developing for linux-based systems a plus
• Willingness to dive through multi-thousand page datasheets & manuals
• Deep, insatiable impulse to understand, and leverage that understanding to create new things
• Innate desire to collaborate, learn, and adapt

Benefits:

• Paid holidays
• Four weeks base accrued vacation per year, expandable to eight weeks
• Educational reimbursement, $1000/yr
• Extended health and dental coverage
• Relocation reimbursement
