The Division of Marine Operations manages and operates ocean-going platforms for the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, including two ROV-equipped ships, small boats, moorings and a variety of submerged and surface-bound autonomous vehicles. Our work enables research in chemical, physical, and biological oceanography. The contributions of the incumbents will have a lasting impact on the ongoing mission of MBARI’s ocean research program, facilitating discoveries at the edge of technology and human exploration. If you have the interest and experience to contribute to our work, then we would be excited to have you join our team.

Founded in 1987 by the late David Packard, MBARI is a non-profit, private oceanographic research institute. Located in Moss Landing, California, near the heart of the Monterey Bay, this unique location provides direct access to the deep waters of the Monterey Canyon.

Additional focus is on writing microcontroller firmware for a vast range of use cases (battery management, servo control, environmental monitoring, etc.).

The incumbent will also assist in the deployment of vehicles at sea locally in Monterey Bay and during expeditions all over the globe. Responsibilities during deployments include mission planning, vehicle checkouts, battery management and data offload.
