Careers at AML

Culture is our competitive advantage

Why AML?

At AML, we’re always on the hunt for passionate team players who want to make a difference. AMLers commit their hands, their heads, and their hearts to their position. There are no sidelines. This is not corporate marketing: Glassdoor ratings score AML at 4.70 on 5.00. Our eNPS numbers are equally impressive, with a +62 response to the question: “Do you enjoy working at AML?”

AMLers cite five main reasons as to why they choose us: our culture, the people, our growth trajectory, transparency and workplace flexibility. Interested? Then you’ll want to know more about what we do. AML designs and manufactures ocean-sensing solutions – sensors, instrumentation, and deployment systems – for customers on all seven continents. We have a market reputation for going to the ends of the earth to make our customers successful, enabling them to focus on the oceanography, not the equipment.


As a hi-tech business, our technical team includes experts and engineers with experience in the acoustic, mechanical, electrical, software and embedded software domains. We operate from locations at either end of Canada. Learn more about us here.

Until now, small-scale, rapidly changing dynamic ocean structures have been extremely difficult to observe in three dimensions and in real time. The MVP300 is a game-changer: it allows us to profile the ocean down to the abyss while the ship is underway, capturing physical, chemical and biological data at unprecedented resolution. With it, we can finally map how these fleeting features work, and better understand their role in shaping the climate system.

The leadership team actually makes an effort to listen to and collaborate with the staff. AML is not set in their ways, and will change processes if it makes sense to change it.

The leadership team actually makes an effort to listen to and collaborate with the staff. AML is not set in their ways, and will change processes if it makes sense to change it. Coworkers/leadership are inclusive and all very nice. Personally, I like the way metrics/targets are set up; it gives me a clear idea on how well I am doing and how much I’ve improved. Depending on the position you can work from home. Flexible when it comes to taking time off for Dr appointments, personal time, etc.

A lot of companies promote themselves as having a supportive work culture and a lot of them don't live up to that. AML isn't one of them. They live up to that culture. The work is often hard and challenging but you learn something new from every job you work on. It's far from tedious or monotonous and repetitive work. Communication is very open from the top down. There are many meetings ranging from daily 15 minute individual team meetings, weekly 15 minute all team meetings and monthly all team meetings where everyone is kept in the loop about the companies goals and priorities. Everyone always knows what they need to do to help accomplish the company goals. The hiring process is definitely one of the most intense I've ever gone through but by the end of it if you measure up and get an employment offer, you will most definitely know you're right for the job. The goal of the recruitment manager is to set you up to succeed. Everyone is made to feel valued and feedback is always constructive and meant to encourage you to keep getting better.

The use of an MVP has increased our efficiency during survey operations a lot compared to traditional profiling methods. Our MVP30-350 has proven itself to be fully operationally reliable and was easy to install and integrate within our survey setup. The high quality data from the sensors has been crucial in succeeding with our surveys in the most difficult conditions of the Baltic ocean.

We have been utilising our AML MVP 30-350 systems on offshore wind farm projects for the last two years where we have found the systems to be robust and reliable, delivering accurate profiles multiple times a day. The ability to perform real-time underway SV profiles from a fully independent system significantly increases productivity and survey efficiency. In addition to this, the technical support we have received to date has been excellent.

On multiday missions, the Endura simplifies everything. I don't have to plan the vehicle mission around the remaining power on the sensor battery. When I need to double my number of profiles, I can do so without shortening mission duration. We can recharge the AML sonde during the day using our vehicle's excess solar power. We have compared side by side and without hesitation, I would choose the wireless charger over the standard battery version.

AML Oceanographic's wireless charging sondes are a game changer for SeaTrac. By integrating these best-in-class sondes with our USV and winch system, we're now able to collect water column profiles on extended missions without worrying about battery life. This capability allows us to gather oceanographic data for months at a time, unlocking new possibilities for long-duration, persistent monitoring in ways that were previously impossible.
