Ever dreamt of saving wildlife on the job with your tech skills? Well now you can at Wilderness Research and Consultancy - wilderness-research.com

We are searching for a sound tech junior engineer that will help us shape the future of our bioacoustics solutions.

Would help if you are passionate with some of the following: sound recording and manipilation, acoustic modelling, programming, ultrasounds, electronics and bioacoustics.

Got tech skills and think this sounds good, but the specs are a little to much? Send an e-mail @
[email protected]
Our team contains senior engineers that will guide you through the tough parts.

We are a small team, and we cerish our creative freedom. We encourage publishing the findings in scientific journals, working for your batchelors, masters or PhD on the subject (highly preffered), sharing code and building a comercial solution that will save lives. We also offer ESOP to the truely dedicated.

Help us crack the code. Most biologists say its impossible, but surely they haven't met YOU yet!

A union of peace, cooperation and prosperity, that has brought major changes in how member states protect the environment.
We are proud to be an European Company and this gave us the oportunity to make significant changes in how humans interact with nature.

EU environmental regulations are not there to cause problems for developers. They are there because we learned that things can be done in a less invasive way.

Our goal is to make them less of a problem for companies that develop major projects while keeping the impact to a minimum.
Our main goal is pretty straight forward:

Good environmental solutions need optimal econonomical basis for long term sustainable development. In order to do that, we need to develop new solutions.

Follow our work as we push the pedal on this goal and remeber: We are stronger togheter!

We have joined the annual job fair at the University of Bucharest, Faculty of Biology, trying to find the new minds that will shape our future! We will soon be able to expand the team, especially for the ones who want to highly perform in this field.

What do we look for?
You preferably should have a mission, believe in it, and later on model it in the projects of WRC and your studies.

CV-s and a letter of intent can be sent at
[email protected]

The letter of intent is much more important. 😅
Convince us that you believe in your cause and togheter we can do wonders!

We also have training opportunities, where you can learn tech stuffi in the field, so you should contact us nonetheless.

Greetings from the wonderfull city of Bonn, where our team is contributing to best practice guidelines for offshore wind energy, solar energy, bats in anthropic traps and bat rehabilitation techniques

24/04/2026

On the airwaves on the 25th of April from 18:10 PM at Radio România, discussing TORI Defender – a native solution that will reduce the impact on biodiversity and wind farms while keeping the energy costs low. The future of edge AI in biodiversity is here.

Directly from our labs, we are presenting our energy saving and sustainable Ecosystem (TORI) out into the big energy world. An awsome day at the , where we caught up with friends like Ștefana Todică and showed off our company's services.

Kind words from our mentors. We were not even aware of what our experiments were usefull for at that time, but we knew it was important 🫡

📡 𝐔𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐞 𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐢 𝐧𝐮 𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐮𝐝. 𝐃𝐚𝐫 𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐦𝐛𝐚̆ 𝐥𝐮𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐫𝐢 𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭̦𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐞.

Zilele acestea, împreună cu partenerii noștri de la Wilderness Research and Consultancy , am reușit o astfel de victorie discretă: includerea liliecilor în etapele de monitorizare ale proiectelor de energie eoliană offshore din Marea Neagră.

Un detaliu care putea fi trecut cu vederea.
Un impact real care putea rămâne invizibil.

Și totuși… pentru noi, povestea începe cu mult înainte.

Ne întoarcem în 2016, la bordul navei Ocean Spirit, când am instalat pentru prima dată un detector de lilieci offshore. Timp de 3 luni, dispozitivul a înregistrat date care confirmau ceva ce părea improbabil:
🦇 liliecii migrează și deasupra mării, la distanțe considerabile de țărm.

În imagine: Zaher Bin Zakaria (Răzvan Zaharia) și Dragos Stefan Mantoiu, într-unul dintre acele momente de început.

Au trecut aproape 10 ani de atunci.
10 ani de observații, argumente, răbdare și construcție tăcută.

Astăzi, aceste date contribuie direct la decizii reale.
Pentru că știința are nevoie de timp.
Dar și de perseverență.

🌊 Pentru un viitor mai curat — pentru oameni și pentru viața sălbatică.
