Operations Engineer

Your role is Operations Engineer. You will plan, prepare, and execute AUV inspection operations end-to-end — from mission planning and equipment readiness through onsite/offshore deployment, data collection, and post-mission reporting. This role is a critical link between engineering, field operations, and clients, ensuring HAUVs are deployed safely, reliably, and to the standard our clients expect.

• Plan and prepare underwater inspection missions, including survey planning, risk assessments, and equipment/tooling checklists.

• Deploy, operate, and recover HAUVs and associated launch/recovery systems during onsite and offshore inspection campaigns.

• Perform pre- and post-mission checks on vehicle subsystems: thrusters, pressure hulls, PCB stacks, wiring harnesses, connectors, and sensors.

• Troubleshoot hardware and software issues in the field, escalating to engineering teams where needed and documenting fixes.

• Process, QC, and package inspection data (video, sonar, sensor logs) for delivery to clients and internal review.

• Coordinate with clients, vessel crews, and site personnel to schedule and execute operations safely and on time.

• Maintain operational logs, mission reports, and equipment maintenance records.

• Support integration and testing of new vehicle builds or payloads prior to field deployment.

• Uphold and continuously improve HSE (health, safety, environment) standards for all field activities.

• Feed field observations back to R&D and engineering to inform product and process improvements.

• Degree in Marine/Ocean Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.

• 1–4 years of experience in field operations, offshore engineering, robotics, marine systems, or a related hands-on technical role (fresh graduates with strong hands-on project experience will be considered).

• Working knowledge of mechanical, electrical, and software systems; comfortable reading wiring diagrams and basic schematics.

• Hands-on experience with soldering, cabling/harnessing, or mechanical assembly is a strong advantage.

• Willingness and ability to travel and work offshore or at client sites, including irregular hours when operations require.

• Strong problem-solving skills and composure when troubleshooting under field conditions.

• Good communication skills and ability to work closely with clients, vessel crews, and cross-functional internal teams.

• Valid diving certification, offshore safety certification (e.g. BOSIET), or willingness to obtain them, is a plus.

• A valid driving license is an advantage.

• Market competitive salary

• Growth opportunities that align with your direct ability in helping the company, rather than an arbitrary corporate ladder

• ESOP / equity participation

• Healthcare support

• Special access to industry events

• Well-stocked pantry with nice snacks

• Support for skills upgrading / learning credits
