Jobs at Open Ocean Robotics

Open Ocean Robotics is an early-stage company developing offshore-capable autonomous unmanned energy-harvesting boats. The vessels collect data using a variety of sensors which is relayed to shore via telemetry or stored onboard with a datalogger. Powered by the sun or wind, our boats produce no greenhouse gases, noise pollution or risk of oil spills, and operate at a fraction of the cost of traditional crewed vessels. They can travel non-stop for up to a year, always on and always collecting data, and go into areas too dangerous for people. Some of the tasks the boats can perform include detecting and helping clean up oil spills, assessing fish stocks, environmental monitoring, detection of hazardous materials, port security and safety, relaying data from subsea sensors, and patrolling borders and marine protected areas.
