Mechatronics Engineer
Job Details
Full Job Description
Reporting to the Handling & Logistics Lead, the successful
candidate will help conceptualise, design, manufacture, and commission
autonomous mechatronic handling systems to be installed on offshore
service vessels. The handling systems will be responsible for
launching, recovering, and storing hundreds of autonomous underwater
vehicles (AUVs) an hour. The candidate will work alongside mechanical
and naval engineers to design and prototype these systems before
moving through accelerated testing and production phases.
BOSS is an innovative tech start up with strong support from
significant industry partnerships. Our vision is to disrupt the
Marine Seismic industry through the development of a large-scale
autonomous ocean bottom seismic data acquisition system, resulting in
a step change reduction in the cost, time and HSSE risks required to
acquire high quality OBS data.
BOSS is developing a
revolutionary, integrated seismic acquisition system based around long
endurance, self-repositioning robotic ocean bottom nodes.
These nodes are capable of multiple autonomous re-positions to allow
rolling of the receiver array without having to recover and redeploy
nodes. This, in combination with automated handling systems, rapid
deployment/recovery and intelligent system control, allows for
optimisation of seismic acquisition survey operations to minimise
duration and cost, and removes the requirement for ROV support.
