Senior Autonomy Software Engineer

Autonomy Software Engineer

A fast-growing, venture-backed company is building next-generation electric mobility platforms designed to transform transportation across waterways. With a focus on zero-emission systems and high-efficiency vehicle design, the team is developing cutting-edge solutions at the intersection of autonomy, robotics, and marine engineering.

Backed by leading investors and founded by engineers from top-tier institutions, the company is entering a key growth phase and scaling its autonomy capabilities.

The Role

Seeking a Senior Autonomy Software Engineer to lead development of autonomy systems for a novel electric mobility platform operating in real-world environments.

What You’ll Do

• Lead development of autonomous docking and low-speed maneuvering systems
• Build core autonomy capabilities including perception, localization, planning, and control
• Design and integrate sensor suites suited to challenging real-world environments
• Develop robust navigation systems that operate safely within constrained and dynamic environments
• Play a key role in shaping and scaling the autonomy software team

What We’re Looking For

• Degree in Computer Science, Robotics, or related field
• Experience building and deploying autonomy systems in real-world environments
• Strong understanding of full autonomy stack (perception, localization, planning, controls)
• Hands-on experience with optimal control methods (e.g. iLQR, MPPI)
• Strong programming skills in C++ and Python
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, early-stage environment

Nice to Have

• Experience with ROS2 or similar middleware
• Background in vehicle dynamics (e.g. robotics, automotive, aerospace, marine)
• Experience working on systems operating in complex, unstructured environments

Additional Notes

• On-site / hybrid depending on location
• No visa sponsorship available
