Job description

Robotics Software Engineer | Autonomy & Control

Exclusively sharing an opportunity to join a cutting‑edge robotics software company solving complex, real‑world problems in the maritime space.

If you’re motivated by seeing your code operate in live environments—not just simulations—this role offers a rare chance to work at the intersection of advanced robotics, AI, and real‑world deployment.

You’ll be part of a high‑calibre engineering team delivering production‑grade autonomy and perception systems that operate in harsh, real maritime conditions.

What You Will Be Doing

• Designing and developing production robotics software using C++, Python, and ROS2
• Building algorithms and system components for autonomous navigation, control, AI‑driven perception, and multi‑sensor systems
• Developing and validating algorithms in simulation before real‑world deployment
• Troubleshooting across the full stack—from software and algorithms to hardware integration

Your Profile

• Degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience
• Australian Citizen & eligibility for Baseline clearance
• Strong software engineering skills in C++ and Python
• Experience designing algorithms for navigation, path planning, guidance, or control
• Experience with state estimation, sensor fusion, or INS/GNSS integration
• Experience with autonomous vehicle platforms, UGVs, UAVs, or USVs
