How much do subsea inspection engineer jobs pay per year?

As of Jun 4, 2026, the average yearly pay for subsea inspection engineer in the United States is $111,632.00, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $80,500.00 and $132,500.00 per year, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What does a Subsea Inspection Engineer do?

A Subsea Inspection Engineer is responsible for assessing the integrity and safety of underwater structures such as pipelines, risers, and offshore platforms. They utilize remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), diving operations, and advanced inspection techniques like ultrasonic testing and cathodic protection assessments. Their role involves planning inspections, analyzing data, and recommending maintenance or repairs to ensure compliance with industry regulations and safety standards.

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

A Subsea Inspection Engineer typically requires a degree in engineering (such as mechanical, civil, or marine), experience with underwater inspection techniques, and knowledge of subsea structures. Familiarity with remote operated vehicles (ROVs), non-destructive testing (NDT) methods, and certifications like CSWIP or PCN are common requirements. Excellent problem-solving, teamwork, and communication skills are vital for managing projects and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams on complex offshore operations. These competencies ensure safety, technical accuracy, and effective project execution in challenging subsea environments.

What are the typical challenges faced by a Subsea Inspection Engineer, and how are they managed?

Subsea Inspection Engineers often work in challenging conditions, including deep water, limited visibility, and variable weather, which can impact inspection schedules and outcomes. Managing these challenges involves detailed planning, using advanced robotics (like ROVs), adhering to strict safety protocols, and coordinating closely with offshore and onshore teams. Engineers must also analyze large volumes of inspection data and prepare accurate reports for clients and regulatory bodies. Adapting to changing environments and prioritizing safety ensures successful project completion and equipment integrity in the subsea sector.

Job description

Hiring !!!
Greetings from Modern Agile Technologies Inc.

Position: FPGA Design & Validation Engineer (Oil & Gas Systems)
Location: Houston, TX (Onsite)
Type: ย  ย  Contract

Exp: 5-12 Yrs


As an FPGA Engineer in our Oil & Gas division, you will develop high-reliability digital systems for demanding environments, such as downhole drilling tools, subsea instrumentation, or refinery monitoring systems. You will leverage VHDL to implement complex data acquisition and signal processing algorithms that must operate under strict power and thermal constraints. A significant portion of this role involves hands-on lab validation to ensure system integrity before deployment in remote or hazardous field locations.ย 

Key Responsibilities:

Ruggedized Design: Implement synthesizable VHDL code optimized for low power consumption and high-temperature stability (e.g., surviving 150ยฐC+ for downhole applications).
High-Reliability Validation: Lead hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing in the lab to simulate harsh field conditions. Utilize oscilloscopes, logic analyzers (ILA/SignalTap), and thermal chambers to verify timing and functional reliability.
Protocol Management: Develop and test custom and industry-standard communication bridges (e.g., Modbus, Ethernet/IP, CAN, or proprietary mud-pulse telemetry).
Data Integrity: Design robust memory interfaces (DDR3/4) and error correction (ECC) for large-scale data logging during seismic or pipe inspection missions.
Certification Support: Maintain detailed documentation of testing protocols and validation results to support safety and industry compliance standards.ย 
Perform functional and timing verification using respective simulators
Conduct post-synthesis and post-layout verification.
Work Experience

Required Technical Skills

Language & Logic: Expert proficiency in VHDL; experience with high-reliability design techniques like triple modular redundancy (TMR) is a plus.
Tools: Expert-level use of Xilinx Vivado, Intel Quartus, Lattice FPGA or Microchip Libero.
Lab Expertise: Mastery of high-speed digital probing, power analysis (using tools like XPE), and debugging hardware-software interfaces.
Industry Interfaces: Experience with ADC/DAC interfacing (using JESD204B or LVDS) for high-precision instrumentation.
Environment: Understanding of design constraints for battery-operated or power-limited remote systems.ย 


Qualifications

Education: B.E./M.Tech in Electrical, Electronics, or Instrumentation Engineering.
Experience: 3+ years in FPGA development, preferably with exposure to industrial automation, subsea electronics, or downhole tools.
Soft Skills: Strong analytical mindset for "root cause" debugging in complex, multi-disciplinary systems.ย
