We’re charting the future of autonomous maritime technology. From our locations in Rostock and Halstenbek, Germany, our close-knit team of technology, product and commercial experts is driving innovation across the ocean industries.
Through our Subsea Europe Services and FLANQ brands, we design, build, and deliver next-generation autonomous systems that set new standards for science, industry, and defence. Our technologies power critical missions — from advancing oceanographic research to protecting vital maritime infrastructure and enabling complex defence operations — where precision, resilience, and technical excellence are non-negotiable.
While Subsea Europe Services pushes the boundaries for offshore energy and scientific exploration, FLANQ is on a bold mission: to safeguard European democracies through domain advantage.
Deeply rooted in Europe and collaborating with international partners, we stand for intelligent systems integration, true autonomy, and a strong foundation of values. If you’re passionate about innovation, possess strong communication skills, and thrive in a startup environment where your voice is heard, we want to hear from you.
