Robotics Software Engineer (all genders welcome) - Maritime Robotics – High-Level Navigation Planning (AUV)

As a Robotics Software Engineer, you are responsible for the high-level navigation planning of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) used for close-range inspection of maritime infrastructure. You develop robust, ROS2-based algorithms and work closely with interdisciplinary teams and research partners to drive forward innovative solutions in underwater robotics.

What You Can Expect

• You develop high-level navigation planning for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) that perform close-range inspections and non-destructive testing tasks.
• You develop solutions for inspecting critical underwater infrastructure (e.g. pipelines, offshore facilities, energy and communication networks) and validate them for use under real ocean conditions.
• You plan, support, and evaluate simulations and maritime field tests, analyzing relevant sensor and navigation data.
• You use modern software development environments and open-source frameworks (in particular ROS2) and relevant libraries to implement and evaluate your algorithms.
• You collaborate closely with other teams within the Subsea group — such as signal processing, manipulator control, and vehicle control — as well as with external partners like universities and research institutions, actively contributing to joint research and development projects.

What You Bring

To become part of the Rosenxt family, you stand out through an independent, structured and team‑oriented way of working as well as strong communication and collaboration skills. You also bring:

• You have a degree in a technical field such as robotics, computer science, mechatronics, electrical engineering, or a comparable field, ideally with a focus on maritime robotics or AUV-based inspection.
• You have several years of professional experience in robotics, autonomous systems, or maritime robotics.
• You have solid expertise in navigation and path planning, strong programming skills in C++, and hands‑on experience with ROS2-based systems and relevant libraries for localization, sensor fusion, and autonomous trajectory planning (e.g. Nav2, MoveIt).
• You bring a strong sense of ownership and excellent communication skills within interdisciplinary teams.
• You have a strong affinity for research and collaboration with universities and research institutes.

Look forward to

• Development and career opportunities in aglobal, innovative and long-term oriented group of companies with family character
• Flexible working hours, working time accountsand Home Office possible
• An open corporate culture, where we celebrate success with social events
• Compatibility of work and family through our company-owned day care center
• Employer funded pension, capital accumulation benefits and discounted insurance offers (occupational disability insurance and other direct insurance policies)
• Company Restaurant (in Wietmarschen-Lohne) and fresh fruit daily
• Various in-house sports activities (EGYM Wellpass and other offers)
• Attractive leasing offers for IT-products and bikes for private use
• Discounted charging facilities for electric vehicles directly at the company location
• Corporate Benefits -employee offers in changing online shops at top conditions
