USV Mission Software Engineer — Embedded | Python

accelintjobboardtest; United States; Hybrid; USD 100,940 - 147,000; Full time

Job summary

Lyntris is seeking an Embedded Software Engineer with Python experience to build and integrate concept capabilities for USV autonomy and mission software. This role centers on connecting data from vessel systems, payloads, and sensors into operator‑facing workflows.

You will develop Python adapters, enable real‑time data streams, and support simulation and replay. The position involves Svelte interfaces and multi‑service deployments on a USV platform in the United States.

Qualifications

• BS in Computer Science/Engineering (or equivalent professional experience).
• 3+ 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

• Deliver integrated concept demonstrations for USV workflows such as mission planning, integrating sensors, route execution monitoring, geofencing, vehicle status/health, and operator oversight.
• Connect UI experiences to simulation/backends so demos reflect realistic vessel behaviors (telemetry cadence, state transitions, fault conditions, and mission events).
• Develop Python utilities and lightweight services to support concepts (adapters, data shaping, simulation hooks, replay tools, CLI utilities).
• Implement or integrate real‑time interfaces (REST/WebSockets/streaming, pub/sub) to support high‑rate telemetry and event‑driven updates.
• Work across containerized and orchestrated deployments: Docker, Docker Compose, Kubernetes.
• Integrate with and troubleshoot distributed messaging architectures common in autonomy stacks (e.g., Redis, DDS, pub/sub, streaming pipelines).
• Diagnose cross-service issues: networking, service discovery, QoS/config mismatches, environment variables, build/run drift, and runtime logs.
• Add pragmatic test coverage (unit tests for core logic; smoke/e2e tests for mission flows) to keep concepts demo-ready.
• Produce clear runbooks for “push‑button” demos: environment setup, data sources, simulation configuration, and troubleshooting.
