Blue Robotics specializes in the design and manufacture of components and vehicles for marine robotics. Our mission is to enable the future of underwater exploration by providing high-performing vehicles and components at an affordable price. We are driven by a passion for exploration and a desire to make advanced marine technology accessible to everyone.

Mechanical Engineer

We are seeking a skilled, motivated, and highly curious mechanical engineer to join our multidisciplinary R&D team. You will be responsible for developing the mechanical systems that enable our vehicles to effectively navigate, observe, and interact with the marine environment. In this role, you will lead the design, test, and launch of a wide range of subsystems that will power our future subsea and surface vehicles.

Responsibilities

• Design new and complex mechanical assemblies, including pressure-rated enclosures, brushless motors, battery modules, connectors, lights, electronics trays, and vehicle frames
• End-to-end ownership of mechanical design from the ground up – from requirements to design, prototype, validation, and manufacturing at volume
• Collaborate with electrical, software, manufacturing, and customer support teams to successfully design, validate, manufacture, and support mechanical subsystems throughout their life cycle
• Evaluate system failure modes, create and drive integration and validation plans and support the execution of these plans
• Component and vehicle-level testing for performance, durability, reliability, and variability
• Find, communicate with, and build relationships with new suppliers
• Influence and drive the direction of our mechanical subsystems in multidisciplinary and cross-departmental discussions

Qualifications:

• Track record of in-depth mechanical and electromechanical product development in a production environment
• Deep expertise with 3D modeling and drafting of components and assemblies (in Solidworks, NX, CATIA, Inventor, Fusion, etc)
• Strong fundamental understanding of engineering materials and processes (high performance alloys, plastics, adhesives, heat treatments, surface treatments, etc)
• Familiarity with designing parts for machining, casting, and injection molding
• Experience with an FEA simulation tool (ANSYS, Solidworks Simulation, etc)
• Familiarity with GD&T and stackup analysis
• Demonstrated strong creative thinking and problem-solving; ability to deep-dive and use first principles thinking to solve complex engineering challenges
• Ability to excel in fast-paced and challenging environments
• Minimum Bachelor of Science in an engineering-related field

Benefits:

• RRSP contribution plan with 4% matching after 6 months
• Educational reimbursement program
• Flexible vacation and paid holidays
• Paid parental leave

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.

While we already provide a bunch of handy electronics for our customers to tackle all sorts of design challenges, our goal is both to enhance our existing catalog, and also to 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 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.

Electrical Engineer

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.

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:

• Engineering degree in related field (EE, Eng Phys, Mechatronics, etc.)
• Strong and growing foundation in electronic and microelectronic theory
• Designed, built and tested a bunch of PCBs so far
• Deep, insatiable impulse to understand, and leverage that understanding to create new things
• Innate desire to collaborate, learn, and adapt
• Growing suspicions that:
• The rules of the universe are true
• Other rules – not so much
• The real trick is discerning the difference

Benefits:

• RRSP contribution plan with 4% matching after 6 months
• Educational reimbursement program
• Flexible vacation and paid holidays
• Paid parental leave
