ROS Engineer I

Key Responsibilities:

Software Development

• Develop and maintain ROS 2 nodes in Python and/or C++ for sensing, control, telemetry, and mission execution, under the technical direction of the reporting lead.
• Define, implement, and version message, service, and action interfaces between subsystems, keeping contracts stable as the platform evolves.
• Write launch files, parameter sets, and configuration profiles that allow the same codebase to run across different vehicle variants without code changes.

Hardware Sensor Integration

• Bring up and integrate payloads IMU, depth/pressure sensors, DVL, altimeters, imaging and scanning sonar, cameras: including driver integration, timestamping, TF frame alignment, and calibration data capture.
• Interface thrusters, motor controllers, and auxiliary actuators over serial, CAN, and Ethernet, implementing watchdogs and safe-state behaviour on loss of command.
• Configure DDS settings and QoS profiles for the topside-vehicle link, managing bandwidth constraints and ensuring graceful degradation when the link is degraded or drops.

Testing Validation

• Build and maintain simulation environments (Gazebo, RViz) and hardware-in-the-loop setups so that failure modes are found before wet testing.
• Deploy and test software on embedded and edge compute platforms (NVIDIA Jetson, Raspberry Pi), including containerised builds, dependency management, and boot-time service configuration.
• Instrument systems with rosbag2 logging, diagnostics topics, and health monitoring; analyse recorded data post-mission to identify root causes rather than symptoms.
• Reproduce field-reported issues in a controlled environment, isolate them to software, hardware, or configuration, and drive fixes through to verified closure.

Field Operations

• Participate in tank, harbour, and open-water trials: pre-dive checks, on-site debugging, data capture, and post-trial reporting and feed observed behaviour back into the development cycle.

Documentation Collaboration

• Document nodes, interfaces, parameters, and system configurations to a standard that allows another engineer to deploy and troubleshoot without the author present.
• Work alongside embedded, mechanical, controls, and product teams during system-level integration, and follow the teams Git branching, code review, and release practices.

Required Qualifications Experience:

• Education: B.E/B.Tech in Robotics, Electronics, Computer Science, Electrical, or related fields.
• Experience: 0-2 years in robotics or ROS development (academic projects or internships count).
• Certifications (Preferred): ROS 2 Development, Python/C++ Programming, Embedded Linux.
