YOUR ROLE

As an R&D Engineer at Deep BV, you will be at the forefront of innovation in subsea survey technology at a time when demand for reliable seabed insights is rapidly increasing. With the global rise in renewable energy projects, the growing need for secure subsea infrastructure, and the expanding use of the ocean floor for cables, pipelines, and other installations, your work will directly support future proof project. Your primary focus will be advancing our cable & pipeline surveys and object detection for UXO identification. You will help develop and refine in-house technologies, integrate off the shelf systems into custom made solutions, transform R&D idea into practical solutions that protect subsea assets, ensure safe and efficient project delivery, and contribute to a more sustainable future.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING

• Lead and contribute to the development of in-house cable tracker and object detection technologies and survey solutions.
• Support the design, testing, and implementation of tools for accurate cable tracking and depth of burial (DoB) measurements.
• Collaborate with survey teams to implement new methods into real-world projects.
• Analyze and interpret cable tracking data, and geophysical survey data to optimize technological solutions.
• Identify opportunities for innovation and apply emerging technologies to subsea challenges.
• Contribute to project assessments, helping clients avoid costly setbacks and ensure long-term asset integrity.

WHO WE LOOK FOR

We’re looking for a hands-on innovator with a strong technical background and an eagerness to tackle the complexities of subsea surveying. You thrive in an environment that blends fieldwork with research, and you’re motivated to transform ideas into technologies that make a global impact.

WHAT WE ASK

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering, Geophysics, Applied Physics, Marine Technology, or a related field.
• Solid understanding of subsea engineering or marine survey principles.
• Experience in R&D or technology development, ideally in a marine/offshore context.
• Proactive and innovative mindset, with the drive to continuously improve technology and methods.
• Knowledge of geophysical survey methods, seabed mapping, and subsea instrumentation.
• Experience with bathymetric surveys, cable tracking and depth of burial (DoB) techniques is highly valued.
• Hands-on skills in electronics, mechanics, and software development.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret and process complex datasets.
• Experience working in multidisciplinary teams and supporting offshore operations.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English (Dutch is a plus).

WHAT WE OFFER

• Inspiring workplace in Amsterdam Noord next to the Vliegenbos for nice walks.
• Competitive salary based on your experience.
• Occasional opportunity to get to know the field of work on the boats.
• Plenty of opportunities for development and training.
• Freedom and responsibility in your role.
• Delicious and healthy lunch.
• Sporty activities after work like running and yoga.
• Friday afternoon drinks in our own Deep Bar and BBQs on the rooftop terrace.
