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 current 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
Paid holidays + 6 PTO days
Educational reimbursement - up to $500.00
Relocation reimbursement - up to $1,500.00
The pay range for this role is:
62,400 - 62,400 CAD per year (Victoria, BC)
