About Blue Robotics

At Blue Robotics, we enable the field of marine robotics with affordable components and systems. What does this really mean? We design technology 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 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.

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