We’re working with a global company using technology to transform operations at sea enabling people and the planet to thrive. Fearless innovation drives everything they do. They challenge convention, break boundaries, and push aging industries into the tech era.

🌊 The Role

As a Robotics Software Engineer, you’ll design, develop, and integrate advanced control systems for uncrewed marine platforms. This is a hands-on technical role combining software architecture, system integration, and real-world deployment.

You’ll:
• Develop control and automation software for robotic and marine systems
• Deliver reliable software components for motion control, navigation, and system integration
• Collaborate across engineering and operations to turn real-world challenges into resilient solutions
• Uphold best practices in development, testing, and documentation
• Support onboard integration and field trials
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a culture of continuous improvement

⚙️ About You
• Degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Computer Science, or similar
• Strong experience in robotics or embedded systems development
• Proficient in C++, ideally with real-time or mission-critical systems
• Familiarity with ROS2, LCM, DDS, or GUI frameworks like Qt
• Collaborative, communicative, and comfortable in a fast-paced environment
• Willing to travel for integration and testing

Desirable: Offshore or marine systems experience, automation frameworks (e.g. Ansible), CI/CD pipelines, and exposure to safety or HSE systems.

🌍 What You’ll Find Here

A workplace that’s not average but one that values creativity, inclusivity, and technical excellence. They celebrate differences, encourage growth beyond your role, and empower you to help shape the future of sustainable marine technology.
