If you thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment and are excited about using cutting-edge robotics to make a meaningful global impact, we want to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing (Job Scope)

You will be working on the core autonomy stack for our HAUVs. You will report directly to the Software Lead and frequently collaborate with hardware and operational teams.

• Develop mission-critical and safe autonomous mission planning software.
• Develop perception and fusion algorithms utilising sensors such as monocular cameras and Sonar/Multibeam.
• Train deep learning models (e.g., semantic segmentation networks) for the detection and tracking of targets to enable advanced robotic maneuvers and intervention.
• Implement optimal path planning strategies to ensure efficient inspection coverage, adhering to standards like CSWIP 3.3U/3.4U.
• Develop middleware drivers to link hardware with the robotics software stack.
• Mentor and guide junior engineers in achieving their technical outcomes.
• Test and debug robotics algorithms using Software-in-the-Loop (SITL) simulation.

What We're Looking For (Desired Qualities & Skillsets)

(Please note that this Position is NOT OPEN for Undergraduates, due to alignment with funders of this position).

We are looking for an outstanding individual who is united by enthusiasm for bold innovation and has a proven background in complex robotic systems.

• PhD in Computer Science or Computer Engineering is preferred, MsC minimally.
• Proficiency in C++ and Python within a Linux environment.
• Extensive experience writing code for complex robotic systems and familiarity with the Robot Operating System (ROS1) framework.
• Proficiency in the usage of Deep Learning frameworks such as Pytorch.
• Experience with 3D computer vision techniques.
• Experience with SLAM for localisation methods and various path planning algorithms.
• Experience with sensor and actuator hardware integration.
• Testimonial of 2 other engineers who have worked with you

Remuneration & Benefits

We are committed to recognizing and rewarding outstanding talent.

• Market competitive salary.
• Growth opportunities aligned with your direct contribution to the company, not an arbitrary corporate ladder.
• Healthcare support
• Support for skills upgrading/learning credits
• Special access to industry events.
• Well-stocked pantry with great snacks
