Autonomy Engineer for AUVs — End-to-End Real-World Autonomy

Vatn Systems; West of England; Sur place; GBP 65 000 - 110 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Vatn Systems is seeking an Autonomy Engineer to build software that enables our autonomous underwater vehicles to operate in the real world. You’ll own features from whiteboard to sea trial and see your code run on vehicles in water within weeks.

You will develop motion, path, behavior planning and control systems, and collaborate closely with perception and sensor engineers to turn perception into safe autonomy decisions.

Qualifications

• Strong engineering foundation in CS, software robotics, or equivalent.
• 3+ years writing production C++, Python, or Rust in Linux.
• Experience building robust data-driven software.
• Ability to navigate complex, established codebases.
• Proven results in simulation and field tests.

Responsabilités

• Develop motion planning, path planning, behavior planning and control for autonomous underwater vehicles.
• Build autonomy capabilities for navigation, collision avoidance, target following, station keeping, formation, and multi-vehicle coordination.
• Make autonomy robust to degraded sensors, uncertain environments, dynamic contacts, and GNSS-denied operation.
• Own technical tradeoffs across performance, safety, reliability, latency, compute constraints and mission requirements.
• Collaborate with perception and sensor engineers to turn outputs into safe autonomy decisions.
• Mature autonomy from prototype to reliable fielded behavior with on-water testing.
