How much do marine robotics engineer jobs pay per hour?

As of Aug 12, 2026, the average hourly pay for marine robotics engineer in Florida is $32.08, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $23.89 and $38.46 per hour, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a marine robotics engineer?

Marine Robotics Engineers need strong backgrounds in mechanical or electrical engineering, robotics, and programming (often with degrees in relevant fields). Familiarity with design software (CAD), underwater navigation systems, embedded controllers, and certifications such as Professional Engineer (PE) or marine safety training are commonly valued. Excellent problem-solving, teamwork, and communication skills enable collaboration on multidisciplinary projects and field deployments. These capabilities are crucial for developing reliable robotic systems that operate in challenging and often unpredictable marine environments.

What does a marine robotics engineer do?

A Marine Robotics Engineer designs, develops, and operates robotic systems for underwater applications. These engineers work on autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), and other robotic platforms used for ocean exploration, environmental monitoring, and industrial tasks like offshore drilling. They integrate mechanical, electrical, and software engineering principles to create reliable systems for deep-sea operations. Their work often involves programming, sensor integration, and optimizing robotics for harsh underwater conditions.

How much do marine robotics engineers make?

Marine robotics engineers typically earn between $70,000 and $120,000 annually, depending on experience, education, and location. Advanced skills in robotics, programming, and underwater systems can lead to higher salaries, especially in research or specialized industries.

Test Engineer - Autonomous Marine Controls

Goken

Melbourne, FL • On-site

Full-time

Posted 7 days ago

Job description

Summary: 

This role will support engineering test and development activities.

Responsibilities:

  • Bring up the autonomy software stack on the vessel: build, deploy, and configure the onboard software (containerized deployment via Docker) 
  • Plan and execute structured field tests of autonomy behaviors - navigation, perception, control, and sensor integration - across both simulation (SITL) and on-water 
  • Operate the system on the water: pre-mission checkouts, launch and recovery support, live runs, and routine data-collection campaigns 
  • Own data logging, telemetry monitoring, visualization, and replay (rosbag, RViz); ensure data integrity for post-test analysis 
  • Diagnose and troubleshoot autonomy, networking, and onboard software issues in real time during test events 
  • Perform first-line data reduction and analysis; produce test reports, debriefs, and demonstrations 
  • Contribute to issue triage and root-cause analysis after field anomalies, and feed findings back to the development team 
  • Build and improve the tooling, test automation, and data pipelines that make field testing faster and more repeatable 
  • Develop a working understanding of the vehicle's hardware and software as an integrated system 
  • Coordinate on-water with the marine test team and remotely with the development team 
  • Travel to client/ test sites required.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering or Computer Science and 1 year of relevant internship experience. 
  • Hands-on ROS 2 experience (nodes, topics, launch files, bags); able to debug a live stack 
  • Strong Linux command-line proficiency and software debugging
  • Docker - build, run, and troubleshoot containers 
  • Able to independently bring up, build, deploy, run, and test software on hardware in the field - with remote support, but not constant supervision 
  • Basic data analysis and visualization (e.g., Python and plotting tools; RViz) 
  • Clear technical writing and reporting 
  • Comfortable working on the water and dockside; able to meet basic fitness-for-water requirements (swim, lift to ~50 lbs, extended time on the water) 
  • Demonstrated self-driven building - a personal robotics project, an open-source contribution, a competition/club robot, or similar evidence of building on your own initiative 
  • Marine / boating familiarity; comfort on small craft
