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, in office debugging, data capture, and post-trial reporting and feed observed behaviour back into the development cycle.
