Senior Software Engineer, Actuation and Control Systems

What you'll do

• Own the actuation and control software for maritime autonomous vehicle depth, heading, speed, and attitude.
• Develop and tune control algorithms specifically for underwater vehicle dynamics.
• Implement control laws on embedded real-time platforms using C++ or Rust.
• Build vehicle dynamics models and simulate control responses.
• Define technical interfaces with GN&C sensors, thruster hardware, and buoyancy actuators.
• Support Software-in-the-Loop (SITL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HITL) testing of control software.
• Perform at-sea tuning and validation during prototype testing.

What we're looking for

• Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, or equivalent.
• 7+ years of experience in control systems, vehicle dynamics, or robotics software.
• Experience with control algorithm development such as PID, LQR, model-predictive, or equivalent.
• Proficiency in C++ or Rust for embedded control software.
• Familiarity with MATLAB/Simulink or equivalent modeling environments.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret security clearance.
• Experience with AUV, UUV, or marine vehicle control systems (preferred).
• Working knowledge of 6-DOF vehicle dynamics modeling (preferred).
