Job Description

About The Role

We are seeking a passionate and driven experienced Senior Robotics Engineer, for our client to lead the development and integration of autonomy systems in their next-generation marine robotics platforms. As part of their dynamic startup journey, this role demands deep technical expertise in robotics software and embedded systems, especially in areas like navigation, control, perception, and real-time systems. You will mentor a team of engineers and play a critical role in scaling up core autonomy stacks from simulation to real-world deployment.This is a hands-on role that involves direct ownership of robotics subsystems and collaboration with cross-functional teams including hardware, embedded systems, and systems integration.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Leadership
  • Lead architecture, design, and implementation of autonomy modules (navigation, control, perception, SLAM, etc.).
  • 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.
  • Defi ne rigorous testing and validation strategies, developing simulation and fi eld 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 refl ect accurate marine dynamics and sensor behavior (e.g., Gazebo, Unity Sim)
  • Troubleshoot and debug issues across software and hardware interfaces in test benches and fi eld trials.
Team and Project Management
  • Mentor and support junior engineers in robotics, controls, and perception development
  • Collaborate with program managers to defi ne and track milestones, technical deliverables, and fi eld deployment plans
  • Maintain clear documentation, communicate technical fi ndings 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 fi eld
  • 6+ years of experience in robotics software development, preferably in fi eld robotics or autonomous vehicles
  • Proven track record of deploying robotics systems from lab to fi eld
  • 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

The Benefits

  • Opportunity to lead core autonomy development in a high-impact defense-tech startup.
  • Competitive compensation and performance-linked growth.
  • Exposure to real-world deployments and defense projects.
  • Collaborative and innovative environment alongside domain experts and naval veterans.
