What is the difference between Internship Underwater Research vs Marine Biologist?

AspectInternship Underwater ResearchMarine Biologist
CredentialsTypically students or entry-level with relevant courseworkDegree in Marine Biology or related field, often with advanced degrees
Work EnvironmentFieldwork underwater, research vessels, laboratoriesResearch labs, field sites, aquariums
Employer & IndustryResearch institutions, universities, environmental agenciesUniversities, research institutes, conservation organizations

Internship Underwater Research provides hands-on experience in underwater environments, often for students or early-career individuals. Marine Biologists conduct detailed studies on marine organisms and ecosystems, usually requiring advanced degrees. While internships focus on gaining practical skills, marine biologists engage in long-term research and analysis.

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.
