Job Title: QA/QC Engineer – Oceanographic Systems

Location: Chennai

Department: Varya Buoy

Role Overview:

Own quality, reliability, and field performance of oceanographic buoy systems

deployed offshore. You will bridge design and real-world execution — from

fabrication checks to vessel-based deployment and post-retrieval analysis. Your work

directly drives data credibility and system survivability in open-sea conditions.

Why Join This Role

 End-to-end ownership: Design validation → offshore deployment → data QC

 Real vessel operations, not desk QA. Approx 30-40% offshore travel

annually Influence design improvements using field data from deployments

 Clear growth path to Lead QA/QC - Marine Systems within 3 years

 Offshore allowances + Outstation Allowances as per company policy

 Extensive General & Group Health Insurance Policy

Key Responsibilities:

1. QA/QC & Fabrication Oversight

Develop ITPs, inspection checklists, and witness FAT/SAT for buoy hulls, pressure

housings, acoustic releases, power systems, and data loggers. Ensure ISO 9001

and marine standards compliance.

2. Offshore Deployment & Field QA

Mobilize as QA/QC lead on vessels. Conduct pre-deployment validation: mooring

load tests, buoyancy checks, watertight integrity, telemetry. Supervise deck ops and

enforce SOPs, JSA, PTW, HSE protocols during deployment/retrieval.





3. Post-Deployment & Data Quality

Lead inspections for biofouling, mechanical wear, damage. Secure raw data, run

first-level QC, and flag anomalies to engineering.

4. Continuous Improvement

Review designs for open-ocean survivability. Drive RCA/CAPA for failures, data

gaps, system losses. Standardize field procedures and QA templates.

Essentials:

 B.E/B.Tech in Ocean, Marine, Mechanical, Electronics, or Instrumentation

 5+ years in marine QA/QC, offshore ops, or oceanographic instrumentation

 Robust grasp of mooring dynamics, pressure housing tests, sensors like CTD,

ADCP, wave/metocean systems

 ISO 9001, AutoCAD/SolidWorks review, Excel-based ITPs

 Medical fitness for extended offshore deployments

Strongly Preferred

 Hands-on buoy or mooring system experience

 Exposure to DNV/API marine standards, telemetry systems, data logging

 Basic MATLAB/Python for QC analysis

 Prior vessel time: research ships, offshore surveys, or Oil & Gas Or marine

operations (Added Advantage)

Impact

Your QA ensures reliable ocean data, safer offshore ops, and longer-lasting systems.

Pay: Up to ₹1,200,000.00 per year

Benefits:

- Health insurance
- Life insurance
- Paid sick time
- Provident Fund
