Employment

The Oceanscience Group is in its 14th year as a leader in developing and manufacturing innovative scientific products for oceanographers, hydrographers and surface water hydrologists. We are growing rapidly and need motivated, enthusiastic engineers and scientists to develop and build our industry-leading products. We offer competitive salaries, health insurance, vacation, sick leave, and paid holidays. We have an informal, friendly workplace. All employees do a variety of work; no one thinks this is a boring place.

We're a few miles from the beach and the Oceanside harbor. Oceanside has the lowest cost of living of coastal cities in Southern California. Needless to say, the weather is wonderful. Our average daily high temperature in January is 65F. There are a wide variety of recreational opportunities in the area. In addition to the obvious surfing, sailing, and fishing, there are ski areas, high and low deserts, mountain lakes and Baja California all within 2 hours' drive.
