Careers
Hardware Integration & Operations Specialist (Co‑op / Intern)
WHAT is going on with the weather?
With all the modern satellite technology and drones to observe our oceans, we still cannot answer this basic question. OceanSync is changing that. Our dedicated, international team is building the first truly global distributed network of shipborne weather stations. This network is delivering huge volumes of high-quality data over satellite and terrestrial connections affordably. Since our launch in 2020, OceanSync has been growing quickly. Our team is literally pushing the boundaries of IoT and Big Data to capture data over the world’s oceans at an unprecedented scale. We’re edgy, we’re ambitious, we’re innovators. All you would expect from a team of passionate entrepreneurs.
Position Summary
We’re hiring a full‑time co‑op/intern or entry level person to help build, deploy, and support our marine hardware systems.

You’ll liaise with clients to coordinate logistics and you’ll contribute to targeted research/testing tasks as part of a cross-disciplinary team (integrating novel sensors).
