Considering a move to Europe? We make it easy for U.S. talent to make the leap.

Are you a U.S.-based software developer or engineer that’s wondering if now’s the time to explore career opportunities in Europe? You’re not alone. More and more American professionals are thinking globally and we’re here to help you take that step.

Why now?

The academic and tech sectors in the U.S. are facing pressure. Budgets are shrinking and the research funding is unpredictable. The future for these talented professionals feels unstable, while in the Netherlands, new opportunities are opening up. We are one of the fastest growing, most innovative companies in the European maritime industry, and we're about to start our hiring round for this summer.

Why Lobster Robotics?

It's our goal to build the best underwater drones to make the oceans accessible. Our systems support marine science, offshore wind, biodiversity protection and secure Europe's critical underwater infrastructure. Our way of working combines engineering excellence with practical implementation: One day you will be working from your desk and the next day testing your code at sea.

Recently, we've seen significant growth due to increased interest from the defense sector. This boost is enabling us to innovate even faster and push the boundaries of what's possible in robotics and autonomous systems. For this, we're looking for the best of the best!

As one of the most prominent underwater robotics companies in Europe, we’re at the forefront of cutting-edge technology. The history of the Netherlands is closely intertwined with that of the USA. Our nations have a long history of cooperation and cultural exchange. Dutch culture is already very internationally oriented. And almost all Dutch people are fluent in English, making it an attractive spot for expats.

We need you to build the best underwater drones to make the oceans accessible. We've developed a three-step program to make it easy for you to make the leap. We’ll support you with everything from visa paperwork to housing search and navigating Dutch culture.
