About the role

  • Odin Dynamics is hiring a Senior Ground Software Engineer to serve as the Responsible Engineer for the ground software stack of our autonomous underwater vehicle platform.
  • This is a true full-stack software engineering role.
  • The work includes product-quality user interfaces, backend services, APIs, telemetry pipelines, time-series data handling, storage systems, and analysis tools used by engineers and operators.

Responsibilities

  • Develop greenfield ground software from initial requirements and architecture through field-tested, production-ready implementation.
  • Design and implement operator-facing interfaces that help users plan missions, understand vehicle state, inspect telemetry, review data, and make effective decisions.
  • Build backend services, APIs, data models, and application logic to support development, test, field operations, and production use.
  • Develop telemetry ingestion, validation, normalization, storage, visualization, alerting, replay, and analysis capabilities.
  • Design data storage and handling approaches for high-volume telemetry, logs, mission data, analysis results, and time-series data.
  • Develop tools for engineering analysis, log inspection, anomaly investigation, mission replay, system debugging, and failure analysis.
  • Build map-based and geospatial workflows for planning, route visualization, constraints, review, and operational awareness.
  • Develop ground software that can support connected and disconnected use, intermittent or constrained communications, and on-premises or cloud-hosted deployment models.
  • Work closely with Autonomy Software, Embedded Software, Avionics, Test Engineering, and Operations to support vehicle integration, mission planning, telemetry, diagnostics, simulation, replay, and field testing.
  • Test and validate software using unit tests, integration tests, system-level tests, SIL, simulation and replay, and HITL test environments.

Requirements

  • Strong backend and API-development experience for production applications, data systems, or operational software.
  • Strong proficiency with modern frontend and backend web technologies and a modern data-storage layer.
  • Experience designing software for constrained, intermittent, unreliable, low-bandwidth, or high-latency communications environments.
  • Experience validating production software through unit testing, integration testing, system testing, simulation, replay, SIL, HITL, or comparable test environments.
  • Experience writing maintainable code, conducting code reviews, using static analysis, profiling performance, debugging complex software behavior, and improving software reliability over time.
  • Ability to reason from first principles about usability, data integrity, system behavior, failure modes, edge cases, and operational risk.
  • Ability to work independently with minimal oversight while collaborating closely across engineering disciplines.
  • Willingness to support field testing and sea trials when required.
  • Odin Dynamics, Inc. participates in E-Verify and will provide the federal government with your Form I-9 information to confirm that you are authorized to work in the U.S.

Nice to have

  • Mission planning, ground software, mission-control software, operator tools, telemetry systems, command-and-control systems, or other operational software for complex technical products.
  • Autonomous vehicles, unmanned systems, underwater systems, UAVs, robotics, aerospace systems, maritime systems, defense systems, industrial autonomy, or other real-world platforms.
  • Taking full-stack software from early architecture through field-tested deployment and continued improvement after operational use.
  • Working closely with autonomy, embedded software, electrical, mechanical, test, manufacturing, and operations teams on tightly integrated electromechanical systems.

Skills

  • This is a hands-on individual-contributor position.
