Job Description & Requirements

WHO ARE WE?

For 55+ years, Mustang Survival has pushed the boundaries of what is possible in marine safety to enhance your experience on the water. We’ve designed, engineered and manufactured products for NASA, Navy Seals, Coast Guard, Police & Military, Ocean Racers, Professional Athletes, and take the same progressive level of dedication towards every aspect of our products.

With our headquarters in British Columbia, Canada, on the banks of the mighty Fraser River—a behemoth that feeds the Pacific Ocean—we test what we build in real time, in the real world. We are surrounded by fresh water, a big ocean, and all the weather the Pacific Northwest can throw at us. Our HQ houses a lab to test human physiology and material properties, a product creation shop to craft product concepts, a testing pool to evaluate new ideas, and a full manufacturing center to carefully craft our marine gear.

We’re here to protect the lives of those who live beyond land.
