JOB SUMMARY


We are seeking a mid-to-senior level Software Controls Engineer to join our team. The ideal candidate will have strong experience in C++ and Python, with expertise in robotics frameworks like ROS. This role will focus on developing and optimizing control algorithms, integrating sensor data, and improving autonomy for subsea robotic systems. You will have the opportunity to develop, test and deploy software on new and existing hardware platforms working in real commercial environments at depths of up to 3km. If you thrive in a fast-paced, hands-on environment and enjoy solving complex real-world challenges, we want to hear from you.


Job Description

  • Develop and implement real-time control software for subsea robotic systems.
  • Design, test, and optimize motion planning, state estimation, and control algorithms.
  • Integrate sensor data (IMUs, cameras, sonar, etc.) into robotic control architectures.
  • Utilize ROS for software development, simulation, and deployment.
  • Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, and software teams to refine system architecture.
  • Implement robust software solutions that adhere to industry safety and reliability standards.
  • Support system testing in lab environments and field deployments.
Qualifications

Required

  • Strong background in control systems, kinematics, and motion planning.
  • Experience with integrating and processing data from sensors (IMU, sonar, cameras, etc.).
  • Knowledge of Linux-based development and deployment.
  • Experience with simulation environments (Gazebo, Isaac-Sim, or similar).
  • Familiarity with software development best practices (version control, CI/CD, testing frameworks).
