What is a Graduate Offshore Engineer job?

A Graduate Offshore Engineer is an entry-level engineering role focused on offshore projects, such as oil and gas platforms, wind farms, and marine structures. They assist senior engineers in design, analysis, and project execution while gaining hands-on experience in offshore operations. Responsibilities may include structural assessments, installation planning, and safety evaluations. The role often involves working both in an office and offshore environments, requiring a strong technical background and problem-solving skills. It serves as a pathway to becoming a specialized offshore engineer in the energy or marine industries.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Graduate Offshore Engineer position, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Graduate Offshore Engineer, a candidate typically needs an engineering degree (usually in mechanical, civil, or marine engineering), strong analytical skills, and fundamental knowledge of offshore operations. Familiarity with industry-standard software such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, and offshore structural analysis tools, as well as certifications like BOSIET (Basic Offshore Safety Induction and Emergency Training), are often required. Excellent teamwork, problem-solving abilities, and effective communication are key soft skills in this position. These skills and qualifications are critical to ensuring safety, technical accuracy, and collaboration in complex offshore environments.

What does a typical work schedule look like for a Graduate Offshore Engineer, and how often will I be required to work offshore?

As a Graduate Offshore Engineer, your work schedule can vary depending on the specific project and employer, but it often consists of rotational shifts—such as two weeks offshore followed by two weeks onshore or off. This means you'll spend concentrated periods on an offshore platform, where you'll work alongside multidisciplinary teams on project delivery, inspections, maintenance, and safety checks. When not offshore, you'll typically be based in an office environment, supporting project planning, reporting, and engineering design tasks. This rotation provides valuable hands-on experience and helps build an understanding of both site operations and project management in the offshore industry.

Job description

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 electrical and computer engineering, mechanical engineering, or related technical programs who want real experience at the intersection of acoustics, signal processing, machine learning, embedded systems, and robotics. You can pick a primary area while still having room to cross over. We'll match projects to your skills and curiosity. You'll work closely with experienced engineers, 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. Strong performers 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 1,000 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. Leading organizations in defense, offshore energy and oceanographic research rely on OceanComm to keep their undersea drones connected.
Requirements
  • Actively enrolled in an academic program, not a recent graduate
  • Full-time, on-site commitment for a minimum of 12 weeks
  • Majoring in EE / CompE / MechE (or related)
  • Strong fundamentals (data structures / algorithms or circuits / digital / embedded or controls / mechanical design)
  • Proficiency in at least one of: C, C++, or Python; comfort with Git and writing unit tests
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills
  • Due to export-controlled work, candidates must be U.S. persons (U.S. citizen, U.S. permanent resident, or protected individual under 8 U.S.C. § 1324b)
What Will Put You Ahead
  • Substantial projects (repo or short write-up)
  • Understanding of machine learning / signal processing fundamentals
  • Comfort with linear algebra
  • Experience with web development (especially TypeScript / Vue)
  • Experience with ROV / AUV hardware / software / control (e.g. ROS2)
  • Experience with CAD / 3D printing
  • Familiarity with lab equipment (e.g. oscilloscopes, probes, debuggers)
  • Familiarity with device interfaces (e.g. Ethernet, CAN, I²C, SPI)
  • Familiarity with embedded development (e.g. bootloaders, device trees, drivers, RTOS)
  • Familiarity with Operating Systems concepts (e.g. schedulers, mutexes, virtual memory)
  • Experience with FPGA / RTL (e.g. SystemVerilog, UVM, cocotb)

Benefits
  • Close mentorship and training
  • End-to-end ownership of a scoped, impactful project
  • End-of-internship demo day
  • Paid vacation
Compensation
The pay range for this position is $35 - $55 per hour. Actual pay will depend on the candidate's experience and skills demonstrated during interviews and other evaluations.
OceanComm is an Equal Opportunity Employer, including disability/vet.
