Join OceanComm’s engineering team and help build undersea drones, intelligent sensors, and other cutting-edge undersea technology. This is a hands-on role for students in electronics, electromechanical technology, mechatronics, or related technical programs who want real experience with PCB assembly, test setups, troubleshooting, and field deployment. You’ll work closely with experienced engineers and technicians, receive training, and contribute to products used in defense, offshore energy, and oceanographic research. Many of our past interns have gone on to join OceanComm full-time, and if you perform well, you will be considered for a full-time role after graduation.
About Us
Underwater, the wireless transfer of a single picture used to take an hour. We brought to market wireless modems that transfer data 100 to 1000 times faster. Legacy modems were basically status/command links; our modems can control undersea drones with live video feedback, a game changer for exploring the underwater world. Because radio waves attenuate quickly underwater, our modems use sound waves to communicate.
What You Will Do
- Help ramp up manufacturing of our modems and ensure quality through testing
- Design, build, and script semi-automated test setups
- Build and troubleshoot printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs), proprietary sensors and other electro-mechanical hardware
- Help integrate our modems into undersea drones and other cutting-edge maritime systems and test the integrated systems at-sea
- Design and machine mounts and housings using CAD/CAM software and a CNC mill
- Handle multiple priorities, organize workload, and meet deadlines
- Be an active participant in continuous improvement activities, provide feedback on ways we can improve our manufacturing operations
- Help build a positive and collaborative team culture that promotes product knowledge and skills development
- Keep the workspace clean, organized, and safe for yourself and your colleagues
