Job Description

The ocean covers 70% of the planet, yet we understand it less than we understand the moon. Seascape is closing that gap. We turn satellite radar imagery into precise intelligence on sea conditions, maritime activity and environmental change, and we build the hardware that helps search and rescue teams find people lost at sea.


We're looking for an industrial designer/product engineer to join our Auckland engineering team and help build the systems behind that work. This is a hybrid role, with 2-3 in-office days per week. This position will remain open until filled.


PLEASE INCLUDE A BRIEF STATEMENT (2-3 sentences) AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR CV EXPLAINING WHY YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS ROLE.

  • Familiarity with CAD (Fusion/Blender/similar)
  • Clear written and verbal communication
  • The ability to read, understand and write product specification sheets

  • A tinkering spirit


Nice to have


  • Experience bridging research and production teams
  • Exposure to radar signal systems
  • Exposure to maritime suitable product fabrication


Why join us


  • Work directly with a world-class team, including former spacecraft operators, radar scientists and patent-holding inventors
  • Get hands-on mentorship as you build your career
  • Join a fast-growing company at an early stage, where your work shapes the product and your input carries weight
  • Help solve a hard problem that matters: giving the world a clearer, more precise view of its oceans
