ABOUT RBR: MAKING WAVES SINCE 1973
At RBR, we’ve been designing cutting-edge instruments to measure our blue planet
for over 50 years. Built to withstand some of the harshest environments on
Earth, our instruments are deployed from the ocean’s deepest trenches to the
polar ice caps, capturing essential data on water temperature, salinity, pH, and
more. This data empowers researchers in the global fight against climate change,
and our technology supports groundbreaking science with partners like Fisheries
and Oceans Canada, Woods Hole, the Scripps Institution, and the British
Antarctic Survey.
At RBR, we care deeply about our work, each other, the environment, and the
global communities we serve. We value teamwork, continuous improvement, and
having fun along the way. From Friday lunches to social events, we’re a crew
that thrives on taking on complex and exciting challenges that have a meaningful
impact on the blue planet! Ready to make waves with us? Apply below!
