Robotics Software Engineer

Zydro Marine Technologies is a venture-backed startup creating "The Geospatial Toolkit for Maritime". We're building the end-to-end ecosystem to collect, process & distribute nautical charts and other geospatial products for mission-critical usage across maritime autonomy, fleet management, and navigation applications. We're a growing team of experts in geospatial data, marine robotics, and command & control software, and we're looking for talented, driven candidates to join us! If you love building beautiful maps, wrangling data sources, developing & testing unmanned systems, or hanging out on boats... this is the job for you.

We’re hiring a Robotics Software Engineer to help develop a new platform for automated maritime survey and ISR data collection. In this role, you will design, build, integrate, and test software and hardware systems on unmanned maritime platforms.

We’re looking for a generalist robotics engineer with strong software fundamentals, hands-on hardware integration experience, and solid systems engineering skillset. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building real-world robotic systems that operate in challenging, unstructured environments outside the lab.

What You'll Do

Design, develop and test software for unmanned maritime robotic systems

Develop and maintain autonomy software using frameworks such as ROS or MOOS-IvP

Interface with lower-level flight controllers such as ArduPilot or PX4

Develop and tune vehicle guidance, navigation & control algorithms

Integrate sensors, payloads, compute, networking, and actuators

Develop software interfaces to devices using CAN-bus, NMEA 2000, J1939, MAVLink, etc.

Develop algorithms for simultaneous localization & mapping (SLAM) and multi-target tracking

Build tools for system diagnostics, logging, monitoring, replay, and post-mission analysis
