Subsea Rov Jobs in California (NOW HIRING)

Every hour an AUV, ROV, or propulsion system is offline can jeopardize a mission. As our senior field authority, you’ll ensure subsea thrusters, actuators, and marine propulsion systems stay mission‑ready—restoring performance fast, elevating customer capability, and channeling real‑world insights back into stronger designs.

Champion reliability at the edge: on decks, in shipyards, and at test facilities around the world—about 50% of your time will be on the road or at sea.

• Critical Response: Lead on‑site diagnostics spanning electrical, software, mechanical, and system interactions; implement corrective actions and upgrades that stick.
• Customer Enablement: Build self‑sufficiency through hands‑on training—operation, inspection, troubleshooting, and maintenance.
• Technical Rigor: Read and apply schematics, wiring diagrams, assembly drawings, and specifications; produce crisp, comprehensive service reports.
• Controls & Power: Configure and debug BLDC motor controllers/servo drives, power electronics, sensors, and embedded systems using laptops, software tools, and communication interfaces.
• Instrumentation: Isolate faults with oscilloscopes, multimeters, and bench power supplies; verify fixes and performance.
• Continuous Improvement: Partner with Engineering, Production, Quality, and Service on teardowns, failure analysis, corrective actions, and design-for-serviceability initiatives.
• Knowledge Systems: Evolve service manuals, procedures, troubleshooting guides, and training materials to reflect best practices.

• 8–10 years supporting and repairing complex electromechanical systems.
