Overview:

Join a small, highly collaborative engineering team developing fully autonomous robotic vehicles that operate in the world's oceans to support environmental and climate research. This is a unique opportunity to develop firmware for sophisticated autonomous systems where software reliability, efficiency, and precision are critical.

This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy working close to the hardware and solving challenging low-level programming problems rather than developing desktop or web applications.

Job Duties:

Design, develop, and maintain embedded firmware in CDevelop software for ARM-based embedded controllersImplement efficient data compression algorithms used by autonomous ocean roboticsSupport Java-based software used to decode and process collected dataIntegrate firmware with sensors, electronics, and embedded hardwareDebug complex hardware/software interactionsDevelop unit tests and verification proceduresCollaborate closely with electrical, mechanical, and systems engineers throughout the product lifecycle
