Senior Autonomy Systems Engineer
Motional- Full Time
- Senior (5 to 8 years)
Candidates must have a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field. A minimum of 3 years of software development experience, preferably in autonomous systems or robotics, is required. Proficiency in programming languages such as C/C++, Python, or Java is essential, along with a strong understanding of networking principles and protocols like TCP/IP and UDP. Experience with embedded Linux systems and low-level serial protocols is a plus, as is familiarity with algorithms, data structures, and software design patterns. Strong communication skills and the ability to work in a fast-paced environment are also necessary.
The Systems Software Engineer will design, develop, and maintain software systems for autonomous navigation, control, and communication of surface vessels. They will collaborate with hardware engineers to integrate software with vessel systems, implement algorithms for controls and sensor fusion, and optimize network communications for low bandwidth/high latency environments. Conducting software testing and validation to ensure reliability and performance, participating in code reviews, troubleshooting complex software issues, and documenting software designs and processes are key duties. Staying updated on industry trends and best practices in autonomous systems is also part of the role.
Develops advanced autonomous surface vessels
Saronic Technologies develops Autonomous Surface Vessels (ASVs) that enhance the capabilities of naval and maritime forces. These vessels utilize adaptive path planning, passive sensors, and advanced algorithms, along with edge computing, to effectively identify and track targets. They are designed to operate in challenging environments, using resilient multichannel communications to support both manned and unmanned operations. Saronic Technologies differentiates itself by focusing on military and defense clients, aiming to improve situational awareness, extend operational reach, and enhance survivability during maritime missions. The company's goal is to provide solutions that integrate seamlessly with existing operational strategies or support new maritime tactics, generating revenue through the sale of ASVs and related customization services.
