Mechanical Design Engineer

Why join Voyis

Our team is made up of problemsolvers passionate about pushing the boundaries of whats possible underwater. We get excited about building cool stuff and working on exciting projects like capturing digital twins of the Titanic (and lots of other shipwrecks too!. Each member of our team makes a significant impact not just to our business but for our customers as well. All our products are proudly designed and built in Waterloo.

Voyisdesigns and manufactures high performance underwater lasers cameras and lightsfor underwater vehicles that expand capability and enhance understanding in underwater surveys and exploration. Our products have enabled our customers to survey thousands of kilometers of ocean floor across all seven continents helping them better understand those remote challenging environments.

Our mission is to push the limits of what is possible subsea and enable every underwater vehicle to see the depths like we see the surface. Our smalland talented engineering team takes a systemsthinking approach to design and problem solving. Our products are able to withstand the rigors corrosion and pressures of deep subsea environments.
