About the role

  • This role will be pivotal in advancing the reliability and functionality of our uncrewed surface vessels, enabling groundbreaking applications in defense, marine research, and environmental monitoring.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the development and maintenance of robust low-level software control systems for uncrewed surface vessels (USVs).
  • Design, implement, and optimize drivers for various communication protocols such as CAN (J1939, NMEA2000, DroneCAN) and RS485 (ModBus).
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (hardware and autonomy engineers) to deliver software that abstracts hardware functions for both existing and new vehicle types.
  • Set up, exercise, document, and maintain hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test environments to enable robust system testing.
  • Create and maintain software documentation, test schematics, and design notes for development projects.
  • Every day presents an opportunity to challenge the status quo, think boldly, and deliver advanced solutions that transform the future of defense technology.
  • In this role, you will collaborate on projects ranging from prototyping and testing of new USV platforms to leveraging existing capabilities to form distributed sensing networks.
