Ballarat, Australia Blue Robotics Inc. Full time

Overview

Term: Spring 2026

Approx. Start Date: January 5th, 2026

Hours per week: Minimum 40 hours

Duration: 4 or 8 months

Blue Robotics enables the field of marine robotics with affordable components and systems. We design tech for underwater exploration and learning about oceans and waterways.

We have a small and vibrant design team in Victoria, BC with a collaborative spirit that is humble and bold. We work together to navigate all design steps from the whiteboard to fully tested, volume-manufactured products.

We are looking for a fledgling mechanical designer — someone with some CAD experience and a hunger to crank this up a few notches. If you:

- have an innate desire to create new things,
- noodle intently over your projects, and
- yearn to expand your technical depth and understanding,

then you will likely be a great fit

Will it all be whipped cream and roses? Probably not. But as a team we’ll chip away at this awesome, fun and sometimes infuriating dream that we’ve decided deserves to become a reality. And don’t worry - you won’t get stuck on a manufacturing line - you’ll design real products and you’ll be given the same responsibility as any of our full-time engineers.

Responsibilities

- Design new and complex mechanical assemblies, such as pressure-rated enclosures, brushless motors, battery modules, connectors, lights, electronics trays, cameras, and vehicle frames
- Evaluate system failure modes, create validation plans and support the execution of these plans
- Component and vehicle-level testing for performance, durability, reliability, and variability
- Design new lab testing equipment and perform lab testing
- Find, communicate with, and build relationships with new suppliers

Basic Qualifications

- Currently enrolled in an Engineering degree in a related field (Mechanical Engineering, Eng Phys, Mechatronics, etc.)
- Proficiency in 3D modeling and drafting of components and assemblies in at least one CAD software package (Solidworks, NX, CATIA, Inventor, Fusion, Onshape, etc)
- Strong and growing foundation in statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, and engineering materials
- Designed, built, and tested some interesting things so far
- Deep, insatiable impulse to understand, and leverage that understanding to create new things
- Innate desire to collaborate, learn, and adapt

Benefits

- Paid holidays, Educational reimbursement, Relocation reimbursement

How to apply

To apply for this position, please provide a project portfolio, resume, and a brief cover letter. Include a link to your portfolio or append it to your resume. Send us your solid models and assemblies for bonus points
