ABOUT THE JOBYou will own actuation and control software for a maritime autonomous vehicle. Reporting to the Navigation and Control lead, you will develop control algorithms that command thrusters, control surfaces, and buoyancy systems to achieve desired depth, heading, speed, and attitude across all operating conditions.
Your spectrum of support will be diverse in nature and require you to leverage your technical expertise as well as leadership skills to set objectives, build cross-functional teams, and rapidly drive to completion. The ability to leverage your intuition and prior experience will be key in making sure the right design, analysis, and test steps are completed to ensure success. The ideal candidate will leverage their experience executing and successfully completing prior highly optimized multi-disciplinary projects.
WHAT YOU'LL DO- Own vehicle control software: depth, heading, speed, and attitude control
- Develop and tune control algorithms for underwater vehicle dynamics
- Implement control laws on embedded real-time platforms
- Build vehicle dynamics models and simulate control response
- Define interfaces with GN&C sensors, thruster hardware, and buoyancy actuators
- Support SITL and HITL testing of control software
- Perform at-sea tuning and validation during prototype testing
- Interface with navigation, propulsion, and buoyancy teams
- Travel up to 25% to test sites
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS- 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 (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
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS- Experience with AUV, UUV, or marine vehicle control systems
- Working knowledge of 6-DOF vehicle dynamics modeling
- Experience with real-time embedded control implementations
- Experience with SITL/HITL testing frameworks
- Experience in defense or maritime robotics
