• Own system-level integration with sensors, embedded systems, and marine vehicle control systems.
• Establish engineering best practices in ROS2-based development, simulation testing, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Define rigorous testing and validation strategies, developing simulation and field test setups to benchmark perception models against real-world scenarios.

Product Development

• Drive development of robust, scalable code for marine robotics platforms in C++ and Python.
• Guide simulator development to reflect accurate marine dynamics and sensor behavior (e.g., Gazebo, Unity Sim)
• Troubleshoot and debug issues across software and hardware interfaces in test benches and field trials

Team and Project Management

• Mentor and support junior engineers in robotics, controls, and perception development
• Collaborate with program managers to define and track milestones, technical deliverables, and field deployment plans
• Maintain clear documentation, communicate technical findings effectively, and present updates to internal teams, external partners, and research collaborators. 

Required Skills and Experience :

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Robotics, Mechatronics, Electronics, Computer Science, or related field
• 4+ years of experience in robotics software development, preferably in field robotics or autonomous vehicles
• Proven track record of deploying robotics systems from lab to field
• Strong coding skills in C++ and Python
• Expertise in ROS2, Gazebo/Unity Sim, and Linux-based development
• Solid understanding of control theory, SLAM, sensor fusion, and kinematics
• Familiarity with marine dynamics and sensor integration (IMU, GPS, LIDAR, sonar, etc.)

Good to have

• Experience working with marine or underwater robotics
• Exposure to safety-critical systems or defense tech environments

What We Offer :

• Opportunity to lead core autonomy development in a high-impact defense-tech startup.
