Job Description

Senior Forward Deployed Software Engineer role focused on deploying, integrating, and improving autonomous systems in real-world maritime environments.

Responsibilities

Lead design, development, and optimization of software for autonomy, networking, and mission execution, emphasizing robust performance in dynamic maritime conditions
Drive field testing and deployment strategies, validating autonomy, perception, and control systems under operational conditions and proactively identifying systemic issues
Own analysis of mission-critical performance data, turning operational insights into software changes that improve behavior, reliability, and responsiveness
Architect and integrate new autonomy capabilities, ensuring compatibility across software, sensors, and vessel hardware with a modular, scalable design
Partner with operators, mission planners, and end-users, converting feedback into actionable requirements and guiding evolution of the autonomy stack
Lead incident response and root cause analysis across software, hardware, and networking layers, then implement durable fixes that improve system resilience
Mentor and collaborate with cross-functional teams, aligning autonomy engineering with product and mission goals and improving engineering practices
Establish and maintain technical standards, authoring deployment protocols, diagnostic tools, and documentation to support scaling across operational fleets

Requirements

5+ years experience developing autonomy or robotics systems, with strong software engineering foundations
Strong programming skills in C++, Rust, Python, or similar languages, with experience in performance-critical systems
Deep background in robotics, autonomy, or embedded systems, especially in maritime, aerospace, or defense contexts
Working knowledge of networking protocols and distributed systems, including TCP/IP, UDP, DDS, and message-passing frameworks such as ROS and ZeroMQ
Hands-on experience integrating perception sensors including cameras, radar, GPS, and IMUs, with emphasis on real-time sensor fusion
Proven ability to debug and resolve complex, cross-disciplinary problems across software, hardware, networking, and autonomy behavior
Experience adapting autonomy to real-world constraints such as variable environments, limited communications, and platform-specific limitations
Willingness and capability to lead field deployments (up to 50%), with a track record of testing and refining autonomy in operational maritime or expeditionary settings
Expertise in motion planning, control systems, and behavior architectures, including behavior trees and adaptive navigation algorithms
Domain knowledge in maritime systems, naval operations, or defense technology with awareness of mission-critical operational needs
Familiarity with distributed autonomy and multi-agent coordination, including decentralized planning and task-sharing in communication-limited settings
Leadership in system integration, testing, and operationalization, coordinating with engineering, product, and field teams to deliver deployable systems
