Built to withstand the harshest environments on Earth, our instruments are deployed from the ocean's deepest trenches to the polar ice caps, capturing essential data on water temperature, salinity, pH, and more. This data empowers researchers in the global fight against climate change, and our technology supports groundbreaking science with partners like Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Woods Hole, the Scripps Institution, and the British Antarctic Survey. At RBR, we care deeply about our work, each other, the workplace, and the global communities we serve. We value teamwork, continuous improvement, and having fun along the way. From weekly lunches to social events, we're a crew that thrives on complex, exciting challenges that have a meaningful impact on the blue planet As a Sensor Engineer at RBR, you will specify, develop, and bring to life the sensor technology that measures the ocean environment. Working hands-on alongside specialists in firmware, electronics, mechanical, software, systems, and oceanography, you'll solve challenging technical problems and build a deep understanding of the complete instrument. Your early focus will be on our chemical sensing work, particularly pH and electrochemical sensors, and over time you'll support RBR's full range of sensors. Develop and characterise chemical and electrochemical sensors, from requirements and specifications through testing and verification Advance RBR's production and in-development optical and chemical sensors, including turbidity, fluorescence, radiometry, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), transmissometry, nitrate, pH, and dissolved oxygen Develop and characterise pH and other electrochemical sensors,



from requirements through testing and verification Design and run experiments to evaluate sensor performance and guide design decisions Troubleshoot hardware and software issues to find root causes, providing first-line support to our production and assembly team and second-line support on customer issues Collaborate with our multidisciplinary research and development (R&D;) team and external partners on design and testing, balancing several projects at once Create detailed project schedules, technical specifications, and prototype verification plans Bachelor's degree in chemistry, engineering, or a related science ~5+ years of hands-on experience in sensor development, instrumentation, or related R&D; ~ Experience designing and running experiments, testing instruments, and building test setups using lab equipment ~ Proficiency with data analysis tools such as Python or MATLAB ~ Strong attention to detail and solid documentation habits, with the ability to report findings clearly and concisely ~ Proficiency in written and spoken English Master's degree or PhD in a relevant field Field deployment or water quality measurement experience This role may be filled at the Sensor Engineer or Senior Sensor Engineer level. Whether you're earlier in your journey or bring senior-level experience, we encourage you to apply. 20 days of vacation, plus a company-wide holiday shutdown and paid sick days ~ Team events and social activities ~ At RBR, we celebrate and support diversity in our workplace.
