How much do subsea inspection engineer jobs pay per year?

As of Aug 6, 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 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.

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 as a subsea inspection engineer, 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.

Job description

Company Description
We are a leading subsea robotics company dedicated to developing cutting-edge autonomous and remotely operated underwater systems. Our team is composed of engineers and scientists passionate about pushing the limits of subsea technology to enable exploration, inspection, and intervention in some of the most challenging environments on Earth.
JOB SUMMARY
We are seeking a Software Engineer to join our team. The ideal candidate will have strong experience in C++ and Python, with expertise in robotics software development and systems integration. This role will involve designing and implementing software for underwater robotic systems, developing reliable communication frameworks, and optimizing software performance for real-time applications. You will have the opportunity to develop, test and deploy software on new and existing hardware platforms working in real commercial environments at depths of up to 3km. If you thrive in a fast-paced, hands-on environment and enjoy solving complex real-world challenges, we want to hear from you.
Job Description
DUTIES AND ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS
  • Develop and maintain software for subsea robotic systems, ensuring high performance and reliability.
  • Design, implement, and optimize algorithms for real-time operation in challenging environments.
  • Work with ROS for software development, simulation, and deployment.
  • Develop and integrate software for sensor processing, navigation, and autonomous decision-making.
  • Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, and software teams to refine system architecture.
  • Implement robust software solutions that adhere to industry safety and reliability standards.
  • Support system testing in lab environments and field deployments.
  • Debug and troubleshoot software and hardware integration issues.

Qualifications
Required
  • 2+ years of experience in software engineering for robotics, automation, or embedded systems.
  • Proficiency in C++ and Python for real-time and embedded applications.
  • Strong understanding of software design patterns, system architecture, and best coding practices.
  • Experience with integrating and processing data from sensors (IMU, sonar, cameras, LIDAR, etc.).
  • Knowledge of Linux-based development and deployment.
  • Experience with simulation environments (Gazebo, Webots, or similar).
  • Familiarity with software development best practices (version control, CI/CD, testing frameworks).

Preferred Qualifications:
  • 5+ years of experience in software engineering for robotics, automation, or embedded systems.
  • Experience with ROS, middleware communication (e.g., DDS, ZeroMQ, MQTT), and distributed systems.
  • Experience with underwater robotics or marine autonomy.
  • Familiarity with network protocols, edge computing, and embedded systems.
  • Knowledge of hardware interfaces such as CAN, serial, and Ethernet.
