Announcement

Northwest Marine Technology (NMT) has an immediate opening for a self-motivated individual who has demonstrated skills in Computer Science with a solid background in Automation, including embedded systems development, and programming for Windows. Educational training in PCB board design and electrical engineering while not a requirement is a definite plus. This position would troubleshoot and document existing NMT technology while also developing emerging items.

NMT is a 55-year-old company located in Anacortes, WA and a leader in providing tools to fishery resource management agencies. We manufacture complete systems for identifying and tracking fish, primarily salmon, throughout their life history. NMT provides a great work environment for the self-driven personality, with 30 employees ranging from technicians to biologists and engineers to physicists.

In 2021, NMT switched to a 32-hour work week while maintaining the current salaries. The Monday to Thursday work week along with competitive salaries, medical and dental benefits, and a 401K program make NMT an attractive place to work.

We are looking for a scientist/engineer with broad experience that would be an excellent addition to our technical team. This is an opportunity to make a big impact in a small company. You will make significant contributions to aspects of NMT’s main products and processes, both customer-focused and behind the scenes.
