Description:

Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) is currently searching for a Mechanical Engineer to join the Alvin Submersible Engineering and Operations Group. This is a regular, full-time, exempt position, and is eligible for full benefits. Alvin is the world's most famous and prolific human occupied submersible, continually operating since its commissioning in 1964. For over five decades, and 5000+ dives Alvin has advanced our understanding of the Earth's ocean environments, uncovering many significant scientific discoveries along the way. Alvin was recently certified to 6500m and now has the ability to explore over 98% of the ocean floor. The Alvin Group is currently seeking a highly motivated, technically competent and responsible Mechanical Engineer to join our operations team. With supervision, a successful candidate applies mechanical aptitude and acquired knowledge of established procedures to the maintenance, troubleshooting and repair of vehicle related equipment used in the operation and support of the Alvin submersible. This is a physically demanding position requiring the ability and willingness to spend six-to-eight months per year at sea. The remainder of the year's workload would be at the institution and may require a local residence. After an initial training period, the position would allow for minimally supervised maintenance on the vehicle, and additional qualifications to perform key submersible support roles. Exceptional candidates will be entered into the Alvin Pilot in Training program with the goal of completing qualifications as Alvin Pilot in Command. https://careers-whoi.icims.com/jobs/1844/job?iis=Email+a+Friend&iiese=1A6pZdfJ8mX1UqPoKV3MXotJVJLxsfaZ9vBBO4OsILI5jEb7%252Fdo1njJFKcK5VMUH&iiesn=db4ige2p5GX7ganipHlPvjUrQ1OClwlHNwqFC3iWNXs%253D
