Security Clearance: BPSS (Baseline Personnel Security Standard) required

Join a cutting-edge Global Technologies Team at the forefront of innovation in robotics, autonomous systems, and cloud-based simulation. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to high-impact projects in a fast-paced, agile environment, working with industry-leading tools and technologies.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and maintain cross-platform C++ code libraries (Linux, Windows, Android) using CMake.
• Build and integrate robotics applications using ROS, OpenCV, Boost, and Jsoncpp.
• Implement and optimise object detection models (e.g. YOLOv5) with Nvidia CUDA acceleration.
• Develop and deploy cloud-based applications using Azure DevOps, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Write unit tests with Google Test Framework and manage automated testing in Azure (YAML scripting).
• Interface with sensors and hardware (Nvidia Jetson, Raspberry Pi, depth cameras, 3D point cloud sensors).
• Develop communication protocols and safety systems for autonomous navigation using Mavlink.
• Collaborate with pilots and stakeholders to ensure safe handover between autonomous and manual control.
• Maintain C++ cross-language interfaces, particularly with C#.

Required Skills:

• Strong proficiency in C++ and object-oriented design.
• Experience with CMake and Linux development.
• Familiarity with Docker and cloud-based CI/CD pipelines.
• Solid understanding of Git workflows (FEATURE, PBI, Releases).
• Basic experience with C# for interface development.
• Knowledge of Mavlink and flight controller integration.

Desirable Experience:

• Working with depth cameras, 3D point cloud data, and sensor fusion techniques (e.g. Kalman filters).
• Experience with Nvidia Jetson, Raspberry Pi, and embedded systems.
• Machine learning for object detection (YOLOv5) and CUDA optimisation.
• Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
• Azure DevOps and YAML pipeline scripting.
