Embedded Systems Test Engineer

AboutVoyis

Voyisdesigns 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 10000km of ocean floor across all 7 continents helping people better understand those remote challenging environments.

Our mission is to push the limits ofwhatspossible subsea and enable every underwater vehicle to see the depths like we see the our products are proudly designed and built in Waterloo.
