AUV Data Engineer & Analyst: Build Underwater Insights

Vatn Systems; West of England; Presencial; GBP 60 000 - 90 000; Tempo integral

Resumo da oferta

Vatn Systems is a startup designing and manufacturing autonomous underwater vehicles. We seek a Data Engineer/Analyst to own end-to-end data infrastructure, turning mission logs into actionable insights for engineers and customers.

You will build pipelines, analytics tooling in Python/Matlab, dashboards, and quality checks, while collaborating across disciplines to improve navigation and sensor performance. This role involves field data turnaround and reproducible analyses.

Qualificações

• Degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Data Science, Applied Mathematics, Physics, or related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• Professional experience in data engineering, statistical analysis, or a comparable role.
• Strong proficiency in Python, Matlab and/or R data ecosystems (NumPy, pandas, Polars).
• Strong SQL skills and experience designing schemas for relational or time-series databases.
• Experience building and maintaining ETL/ELT pipelines that handle large, messy, real-world sensor or log data.
• Familiarity with statistical methods, data transformation techniques, and data visualization.
• Experience building dashboards or visualization tooling (Grafana, Plotly/Dash, Streamlit).
• Ability to work with time-series data across multiple asynchronous sources, including timestamp alignment and resampling.
• Proficiency with version control systems, specifically Git.
• Excellent problem-solving skills, strong written communication, and the ability to work effectively in a team environment.

Responsabilidades

• Design, build, and maintain data pipelines that ingest post-mission logs from vehicles and field kits into a queryable, durable data store.
• Develop reusable statistical analysis tooling in Python and/or Matlab for post-mission reconstruction, including coordinate frame handling, time alignment across asynchronous sensors, and navigation error characterization.
• Build and maintain dashboards and reports that communicate vehicle and subsystem performance clearly to engineers, leadership, and customers.
• Define and track quantitative performance metrics across programs and make trends visible over time.
• Establish data schemas, naming conventions, and metadata standards so that test data is discoverable and traceable to a specific vehicle, build, and configuration.
• Support field test campaigns by turning around rapid analysis between runs and flagging anomalies before the next deployment.
• Build automated data quality checks and monitoring to catch dropped telemetry, clock issues, and sensor faults early.
• Produce analysis products that feed customer deliverables, test reports, and internal design reviews.
• Write and maintain documentation and tests so that pipelines and analyses are reproducible by others on the team.
