Job summary

Lyntris is seeking an Embedded Software Engineer to build and integrate USV autonomy software, focusing on Python adapters, real-time data streams, simulation, and operator-facing workflows on a USV platform.

The role covers integration of sensors, mission software, and UI interfaces, with exposure to containerized deployments, ROS-like patterns, and distributed messaging. On-site/hybrid/remote options with travel; BS+5 years Python and active security clearance are required.

Qualifications

• BS in Computer Science/Engineering (or equivalent professional experience).
• 5+ years working experience with Python for services, tooling, or automation scripts.
• Familiarity with autonomy/robotics concepts (mission states, control modes, fail-safes, safety constraints).
• Exposure to maritime/USV data sources (GPS/IMU, AIS, radar integration concepts, NMEA/NMEA2000).
• Experience supporting simulation-driven integration and replay (recorded logs, deterministic playback, scenario config).
• Experience with telemetry and messaging systems (Redis pub/sub, DDS, MQTT, Kafka, etc.).
• Experience integrating systems using APIs and real-time patterns (REST, WebSockets, streaming, pub/sub).
• Currently holds an active U.S. national security clearance or be able to receive and maintain one.

Responsibilities

• USV Concept Delivery (Integration-Focused): Deliver integrated concept demonstrations for USV workflows such as mission planning, integrating sensors, route execution monitoring, geofencing, vehicle status/health, and operator oversight.
• Backend & Tooling (Python): Develop Python utilities and lightweight services to support concepts (adapters, data shaping, simulation hooks, replay tools, CLI utilities).
• Orchestration & Distributed Systems: Work across containerized deployments: Docker, Docker Compose, Kubernetes; troubleshoot distributed messaging architectures (Redis, DDS, pub/sub).
• Quality & Maintainability: Add unit tests and runbooks for demos.
