WHOI | AUV Embedded Software Engineer | Woods Hole, MA
The Scibotics Lab at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution develops autonomous underwater vehicles that help scientists understand the ocean. We are seeking an Embedded Software Engineer to help us develop open source embedded software for a series of ambitious projects: protecting the arctic from environmental damage with an AUV capable of detecting and mapping out oil spills under ice; marine megafauna following algorithms in the deep sea; benthic habitat surveys in rough terrain; obstacle avoidance around wind turbines; and much more.

WHOI | Robotics Engineer | Woods Hole, MA
The Scibotics Lab at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution develops autonomous underwater vehicles that help scientists understand the ocean. We invented the SharkCam, an AUV that locates, tracks, and films marine animals like the North Atlantic white shark (great white).
We are seeking a robotics engineer with mechanical and systems engineering experience for our current ambitious project: protecting the arctic from environmental damage with an AUV capable of detecting and mapping out oil spills under ice.

Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution | Woods Hole, MA | Full-time | https://careers.whoi.edu
WHOI is a leading ocean research institution. Our engineers build autonomous and remotely-operated underwater vehicles and observing platforms to explore and understand the ocean, and develop the software that scientists use to make new discoveries every day.
We have open positions for software engineers, electrical engineers, data scientists, and more to help us accelerate our research. Check out our Twitter account (@WHOI) to learn more, and follow along as we explore the Ocean Twilight Zone this month: https://divediscover.whoi.edu
We are also open to collaborating with organizations with machine learning expertise that are looking for impactful projects involving unique data sets. Please get in touch (e-mail in profile)!

We have a GitHub for the institution (https://github.com/whoigit/) and some individual labs have separate GitHub, Bitbucket, and GitLab accounts. For instance, some of the robotics code behind the AUV Sentry is here: https://bitbucket.org/whoidsl/

Do you mean at Woodwell Climate Center (woodwellclimate.org), formerly the Woods Hole Research Center? If so, I'm not sure. Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI.edu) is nearby but unrelated.
Public outreach is very important for ocean science so we (WHOI) do have a visitor center and regularly host events[1] on campus and online. I'm not aware of anything for volunteers right now but in the past we have asked for help labeling data sets or reporting marine mammal sightings[2].

Great point. That role is for an application developer to help build data management systems for oceanographic data: https://www.bco-dmo.org/

The opportunities are occasionally remote as in "on a research vessel somewhere in the middle of the ocean for several weeks." But virtually everyone has a home base near the campus. The nature of the work is very hands-on, even for software.
Edit: As pointed out below, there are some remote software developer roles right now.

We're not very well-equipped to handle volunteers right now, but we are releasing more data and open source software every day, and would be happy to see contributions from the community.

If you are interested in working in ocean research to explore, understand, and protect the ocean, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution is hiring. https://careers.whoi.edu
We built and operate the ROV Jason and AUV Sentry, which were previously used to map these dumpsites[1]. We are always working on innovative vehicle capabilities and are currently looking for data scientists, software/mechanical/electrical engineers, machine learning specialists, etc. to help us. It's also a great opportunity to take a sabbatical by the beach :)

WHOI | AUV Embedded Software Engineer Intern | REMOTE (US) | INTERNS
The Scibotics Lab at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution develops autonomous underwater vehicles that help scientists understand the ocean. We invented the SharkCam, an AUV that locates, tracks, and films marine animals like the North Atlantic white shark (great white).
We are seeking an intern to help us develop embedded software for our next ambitious project: protecting the arctic from environmental damage with an AUV capable of detecting and mapping out oil spills under ice.
