Robotics Autonomy Software Engineer

BeeX is seeking an experienced and innovative Robotics Autonomy Software Engineer to join our fast-growing deep-tech startup.

WHY JOIN US? We're pioneering the world's most advanced Hovering Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (HAUVs) and Autonomous Robotics-as-a-Service (ARaaS) to safeguard critical underwater infrastructure in the maritime, energy, and defense sectors while drastically reducing carbon emissions. The industries we serve needs new ways to overcome their current challenges, and BeeX is delivering exactly that.

Creating anything new is very hard. To achieve this, we need outstanding people. At BeeX, everyone is united by enthusiasm for bold innovation. Our multi-disciplinary team thrives in dynamic environments, driving transformative advancements globally.

What you can achieve at BeeX depends on what your goals are. By joining our fast-growing startup, you will be exposed to different aspects of Deeptech, from design to commercialisation. Join us to make a meaningful impact on the world!

If you thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment and are excited about using cutting-edge robotics to make a meaningful global impact, we want to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing (Job Scope) You will be working on the core autonomy stack for our HAUVs. You will report directly to the Software Lead and frequently collaborate with hardware and operational teams.

• High-Level Mission Planning: Design and execute autonomous action plans to achieve inspection objectives efficiently and safely under operational constraints.
• Mapping: Develop methods to transform noisy sonar sensor data into navigable maps suitable for autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) path planning and decision-making.
• Adaptive Mission Execution: Enable robust mission adjustment in harsh and low-visibility environments by accounting for odometry drift, environmental uncertainty, and adversarial conditions; assess deviations between expected and observed structures and respond accordingly.
• Anomaly Detection: Build capabilities to detect and localise structural anomalies or defects during inspection, and adapt inspection behaviour based on findings.
• Sensor Integration: Integrate and optimise hardware drivers and low-level interfaces to extract maximum performance and implicit state information, supporting higher-level autonomy and perception.
• Develop middleware drivers to link hardware with the robotics software stack, including to test and debug robotics algorithms using Software-in-the-Loop (SITL) simulation.
• Mentor and guide junior engineers in achieving their technical outcomes.

What We're Looking For (Desired Qualities & Skillsets) We are looking for an outstanding individual who is united by enthusiasm for bold innovation and has a proven background in complex robotic systems.

• Bachelor/Master's in computer engineering or computer science.
• Proficiency in C++ and Python within a Linux environment.
• Extensive experience writing code for complex robotic systems and familiarity with the Robot Operating System (ROS1) framework.
• Proficiency in the usage of Deep Learning frameworks such as Pytorch.
• Experience with 3D computer vision techniques.
• Experience with SLAM for localisation methods and various path planning algorithms.
• Experience with sensor and actuator hardware integration.
• Testimonial of 2 other engineers who have worked with you

Remuneration & Benefits We are committed to recognizing and rewarding outstanding talent.

• Market competitive salary.
• ESOP / equity participation.
• Growth opportunities aligned with your direct contribution to the company, not an arbitrary corporate ladder.
• Healthcare support
• Support for skills upgrading/learning credits
• Special access to industry events.
• Well-stocked pantry with great snacks
