• Testing: Bench testing of code and equipment, unit testing, and support for vehicle testing.
• Documentation: Creating and maintaining software documentation.
• Collaboration: Working within a team, interfacing with the software lead, and contributing to meeting customer requirements and deliverables.
• Learning: Gaining exposure to underwater technologies, their engineering implications, the Oceaneering organization, and applying the software development lifecycle.
The position is hybrid—remote, but requires commuting to a designated office on a schedule determined by the hiring manager based on business needs. The base pay rate is $30.00 per hour.
