Robotics Software Engineer
About Us
Zydro Marine Technologies is a venture-backed startup building modular marine autonomy systems for unmanned surface vessels (USVs). We’re on a mission to accelerate the exploration & defense of the ocean for western interests. To accomplish this, we are building a modular hardware & software platform which interfaces with consumer off-the-shelf marine propulsion, steering & sensors, making it radically simpler & cheaper to build mission-capable USVs.
We're a team of experts in robotics, command & control software, IoT, and marine electronics, and we partner with boatbuilders & government customers to solve hard problems at sea. We’re growing, and looking for talented, driven engineers with an interest in the maritime domain!
About The Role
We’re hiring a Robotics Software Developer to lead development of onboard marine autonomy software used on unmanned surface vessels. You’ll be responsible for architecting and implementing a ROS-based autonomy stack that integrates navigation, perception & control systems into a robust, modular platform deployed across diverse vessel types.
Responsibilities
Work closely with your team & pilot customers to define requirements & project scope.
Design, implement, and maintain core autonomy software components using ROS 2 (C++/Python)
Integrate and test control interfaces for propulsion, steering, and sensing systems using CAN bus, NMEA 2000, UMAA and other industry standards protocols and specs.
Work with simulation, mission planning, and hardware-in-the-loop testing frameworks to validate the safety and reliability of autonomy behaviors.
Contribute to control algorithms for waypoint navigation and dynamic obstacle avoidance.
Participate in sea trials to support testing of unmanned surface vessels.
Required Qualifications
Experience with C, C++ and/or Python
Competency in a Linux-based environment
Understanding of the IP networking stack, TCP/UDP, etc.
Familiarity with ROS or other robotics middleware
Experience with Git, Docker, CI/CD tools, and other software development & deployment tools
Preferred Qualifications
Experience deploying code in IoT or robotics to constrained edge environments
Experience with CAN Bus, SPI, I2C, or other embedded communication protocols.
Hands-on experience with autonomy, path planning, or controls for mobile robots such as USVs or AUVs.
Comfortable working with sensors such as GPS, IMUs, radar, cameras, etc.
