Job summary

BeeX Pte Ltd seeks a Senior Robotics Engineer to own autonomy, navigation, control for our subsea AUV platform. Translate research into real-time software, integrate onto hardware, and test solutions in real ocean trials. You will report to the Software Lead and collaborate with hardware and operations teams.

You will mentor junior engineers, help establish CI/CD and automated testing, and advance cutting-edge robotics systems within a startup environment.

Qualifications

• PhD or MSc in Computer Engineering or Computer Science.
• Proficiency in C++ and Python within a Linux environment.
• Extensive experience writing code for complex robotic systems and familiarity with ROS1.
• 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.

Responsibilities

• Simulation & HIL: Build and extend high-fidelity subsea simulation environments and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) test setups to validate new product capabilities before wet testing.
• Field Trials & Ocean Testing: Participate directly in dockside, pool, and offshore field trials to test software on physical AUVs, analyze sensor log data, diagnose edge‑case failures, and iteratively refine product performance.
• Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration: Partner with mechanical, electrical, and systems engineers to define sensor selection, actuator interfaces, and software‑hardware integration requirements from early product stages.
• Sensor Integration: Integrate and optimise hardware drivers and low-level interfaces to extract maximum performance and implicit state information, supporting higher-level autonomy and perception.
• High‑Level Mission Planning: Design and execute autonomous action plans to achieve inspection objectives efficiently and safely under operational constraints.
• Mapping: Develop methods to transform noisy sonar sensor data into navigable maps suitable for autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) path planning and decision‑making.
• Adaptive Mission Execution: Enable robust mission adjustment in harsh and low‑visibility environments by accounting for odometry drift, environmental uncertainty, and adversarial conditions; assess deviations between expected and observed structures and respond accordingly.
• Anomaly Detection: Build capabilities to detect and localise structural anomalies or defects during inspection, and adapt inspection behaviour based on findings.
• Develop middleware drivers to link hardware with the robotics software stack, including to test and debug robotics algorithms using Software-in-the-Loop (SITL) simulation.
• Mentor and guide junior engineers in achieving their technical outcomes.
