We’re hiring: Marine Field Engineer / Glider Pilot!
Project CETI (Cetacean Translation Initiative) is looking for a Marine Field Engineer / Glider Pilot to join our team in Dominica (Eastern Caribbean).
CETI is a nonprofit using advanced machine learning and gentle robotics to decode whale communication — proving that cutting-edge technology can benefit both humans and other species.
In this role, you’ll:
Operate and maintain our fleet of autonomous marine gliders
Lead multi-day ocean survey missions and field operations
Collaborate with a global, interdisciplinary team of engineers and researchers
Participate in sperm whale research aboard a variety of sailing research vessels.
This is a full-time, onsite position based in Dominica, with an expected commitment of at least two years.
If you have experience with marine operations, autonomous platforms, and enjoy hands-on fieldwork at the intersection of ocean science, robotics, and AI, we’d love to hear from you.
