Working in theUnmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) Work Stream, within a multidisciplinary technology team, this role is suitable for an innovative Naval Architect / Marine Engineer interested in challenging the conventional and seeing design concepts through to a final product.The role isprimarily focused on the design and optimisation of a bespoke UUV given specified system constraints, with some aspects of surface vessel design, launch and evaluation.
BOSS Background
BOSS is a well-funded tech start up with financial and IP backing from two IOC’s, one of which is a well know Super Major. 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 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 rapid deployment and recovery rates, allows for optimisation of seismic acquisition survey operations to minimise duration and cost, and removes the requirement for ROV support.
