Job Description:

Armach Robotics, Inc. is revolutionizing ship husbandry using autonomous robots and artificial intelligence. Through a subscription service, Armach robots continuously clean ship hulls and provide regular hull surveys. Clean ship hulls result in substantially reduced operating costs, lower carbon emissions, and reduced environmental impacts while regular survey data provides the intelligence ship owners need to make on-time maintenance decisions. Using robots that are resident on ships and within ports and harbors that are supervised by remote operations specialists, Armach's service is scalable worldwide at a fraction of the cost required by traditional husbandry methods.
