Hydrographer/Geophysicist

Remote: yes Posted: 2026-09-13

THE ROLE

We are the explorers. We are the builders. We are the Wayfinders.

Bedrock is mapping the unseen world beneath our oceans and building the systems to do it at scale.

We're hiring a Hydrographer/Geophysicist to work with some of the highest-resolution seafloor data on the planet. You'll process and analyze multibeam, sidescan, magnetometer, and sub-bottom data from Bedrock field tests and commercial operations, and you'll own rapid, iterative feedback on data quality. When something looks strange in a dataset, you'll be the person asking what it tells us about the vehicle, the survey plan, or the seafloor itself.

You will also be in front of customers discussing data quality, interpretation, and deliverables, and teaching them how to read what they're seeing and what it's worth. This is a role for someone who relishes that part of the job.

And you'll be on the leading edge of the field. Bedrock is working with major governments around the world on how uncertainty and accuracy should be defined in ocean data- literally helping write the book, the policy, and the guidelines. This is the team revolutionizing how the seafloor gets characterized, and you'd have a say in what the next decade of this field looks like.

We are hiring for curiosity, speed of learning, and real excitement about seeing the seafloor in higher fidelity than anyone has seen it before. If you have most of what's below and you're hungry to learn the rest, we want to talk to you.

DATA PROCESSING & QUALITY

- First-pass analysis of MBES, SSS, magnetometer, and/or sub-bottom profiler data using commercial software (Qimera, Seaview, SonarWiz, Radex, etc.)

- Own rapid, iterative feedback on data quality- first pass gets us information, not perfection

- Spot artifacts and anomalies, and reason about what caused them

- Work with Bedrock leadership and customers to hold the highest data quality standard in the industry
