WHO ARE WE?
We are a US-based AUV Robotics startup in a very excited period of growth! We have an elite engineering team working on a cutting-edge AUV platform, and we now require a Manager of Software Development who combines deep robotics software expertise with strong leadership skills to grow, mentor, and guide a high-performing team.
WHAT WILL YOU BE DOING?
- Lead, mentor, and manage a team of software engineers, supporting their technical and professional growth.
- Drive architecture, documentation, and code reviews to maintain high engineering standards.
- Provide technical direction on software architecture, system design, and implementation decisions.
- Coordinate closely with electrical, mechanical, and systems engineering teams for seamless integration.
- Oversee project planning, prioritization, and delivery — acting as scrum master for the software team.
- Manage timelines, software quality, and deliverables for internal stakeholders and field operations.
- Oversee architecture andamp; interface design for localization, mapping, navigation, sensor fusion, mission autonomy, and hardware interfaces in a ROS-based environment.
- Improve Agile workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and software automation infrastructure.
- Contribute hands-on to prototypes, debugging, and integration for high-value features when needed.
WE NEED YOU TO HAVE…
- U.S. Citizenship (required).
- Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
- 6+ years professional software development experience, including 2+ years managing/leading teams building embedded or autonomous vehicle software.
- Deep proficiency with ROS, hardware abstraction, middleware, and sensor integration for underwater or field robotics.
- Strong experience with autonomous vehicle control systems andamp; systems-level design.
- Proficiency in C/C++, with experience in Python or Rust.
- Background in navigation, obstacle avoidance, autonomy stacks, and embedded systems.
- Experience with imaging systems (stereo cameras, radar, LIDAR, sonar).
- Experience deploying robotics in GPS-denied or unstructured environments.
- Comfort working in Linux environments and with containerized deployments.
IT WOULD BE GREAT IF YOU ALSO HAVE…
- Experience developing autonomous vehicles (subsea, aerial, or ground).
- Advanced manufacturing exposure (hardware-software integration, embedded platforms, etc.).
- Experience with high-reliability robotics in harsh or constrained environments.
