We are looking for software engineers to join the already established team working in a fast paced, iterative design process solving a range of technical and non-technical challenges including but not limited to: Using subsea acoustic, free space optical, and computer vision localisation to determine relative AUV position and heading. Using a 3D virtual environment to integrate all system information to act as a real time operator interface, enabling control of our system and the AUV systems. Developing a GUI to support capture & recording of test data, and performance evaluation of the system. Using a PLC to control the articulated/actuated aspects of our system and interpret sensor readings. Designing, building, and testing, electrically and hydraulically actuated mechanical subsea systems which have to operate under significant loads and in harsh environments. In addition to the current project we need software engineers to drive our research and development efforts and to realise innovation projects and prototypes across multiple domains. We are looking for individuals who are self-starters with initiative and a broad range of technical skills who can work on a wide range of communication and integration themed innovation projects ranging from embedded prototypes to GIS and the identification and exploitation of new technologies. Enthusiastic technologists who are able to design and implement a prototype from a minimal brief and design, either as an individual or as part of a team. People who thrive in an environment where requirements and priorities can change rapidly to meet needs of our customers and where every day is a learning day; actively seeking out new knowledge, tools and technologies to help take us forward into the future.
