Join us in developing the future of underwater robotics

Due to increasing project activity, we are expanding our operational team – are you ready to dive in? 

Are you genuinely curious, eager to learn, and passionate about sustainable use of our oceans? Do you want to help develop and test cutting-edge underwater technology with an enthusiastic and experienced team? 

Who We Are 

Eelume develops autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) for sustainable seabed mapping and inspection of subsea infrastructure. Our AUVs are unique, with exceptional maneuverability that allows them to collect high-quality optical and acoustic data. 

We have an in-house lab equipped with tools, instrumentation, and our own test pool. A significant part of our development process includes real-world testing – both from dockside and onboard our 5–10 meter workboats. We also conduct pilots and assignments together with customers – a rapidly growing area. To support this increase in mission activity, we are strengthening our operational capacity. 

What We're Looking For 

We are seeking a versatile, well-organized, and hands-on individual to take operational responsibility for our outdoor and at-sea testing activities, as well as customer missions and AUV system assembly. Your responsibilities will include: 

• Operating and maintaining our workboats and associated equipment 

• Planning and preparing for test activities 

• Coordinating transport, logistics, and on-site testing together with our development team 

• Managing our workshop and technical inventory 

• Supporting mechanical and electrical integration and testing of our AUV systems 

• AUV system assembly 

• Performing AUV system as a service campaign with our customers  

What You Bring 

• Hands-on experience with remotely operated or autonomous underwater vehicles (ROV/AUV) – this is a mandatory qualification 

• Solid general technical skills, including handling of mechanical and electrical systems 

• Understand and be able to explain the fundamentals of key types of navigational & payload equipment, including: GPS, GNSS, INS, FLS, DVL, USBL, MBES, SSS, SAS, SVP, SBP.  

• “Seamanship”, e.g. small boats, knots, weather 

• Driver’s license (minimum class B) 

Education 

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science or equivalent 

We value practical experience and technical understanding. A technical background is beneficial, but not a strict requirement. 

Personal Qualities 

• Structured and safety-conscious 

• Solution-oriented and proactive 

• Self-driven while also open to assigned tasks 

• Positive team player who contributes to a great working environment 

What We Offer 

• An opportunity to work with cutting-edge underwater robotic systems 

• A dynamic and passionate team solving real-world challenges 

• Influence over your tasks and day-to-day work 

• Competitive compensation, pension, and insurance schemes 

This is a full-time position based in Trondheim, Norway. Some travel – both domestic and international – is to be expected. The role may require security clearance. 

If this sounds exciting, we would love to hear from you! Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
