About Voyis: 

Voyis designs and manufactures high performance underwater optical sensors (lasers, cameras, lights) for underwater vehicles that expand capability and enhance understanding in underwater surveys and exploration. Our products have enabled our customers to survey more than 10,000km of ocean floor across all 7 continents, helping people better understand those remote, challenging environments. Our mission is to push the limits of what’s possible subsea and enable every underwater vehicle to see the depths like we see the surface. 

All our products are proudly designed and built in Waterloo. Voyis operates independently and is part of the Covelya Group of companies. 

 What you’ll do: 

As an Application Engineer at Voyis you will have a wide scope of work in providing technical support and guidance to our customers, with exposure to all elements of our products. This multifaceted role is ideal for candidates that want to gain exposure to complex underwater robotics systems and own how Voyis’ products integrate as sensor payloads on subsea vehicles, spanning mechanical, electrical, and software disciplines. We are seeking someone with a strong technical background, an interest in travelling globally to customer sites, and a proven ability to learn & apply new knowledge to solving our customers’ problems. The role will begin by learning deeply about Voyis products and underwater systems, slowly shifting into managing customer support, integration, and data processing projects. 

This role will include pre-sale project feasibility assessment, front line customer support, assisting customers with hardware and software integrations into their subsea vehicles, and facilitating customer training to ensure success.
