Octobotics builds robots that inspect critical industrial assets - refinery

vessels, ship hulls, railway track, pressure equipment - without scaffolding,

rope access or confined-space entry. We are 42 people, with 7 classification

society approvals and deployments across 10+ countries.

This role owns the real-time application layer of our phased-array inspection

stack: the software between the acquisition hardware and the inspector reading

the result. It runs on an embedded target, cross-compiled, against a live data

stream, while a robot is moving on a steel surface a customer is paying to keep

in service.

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

- The real-time acquisition and imaging application: capture, reconstruction,

display, persistence

- Keeping it deterministic under load - latency and jitter budgets, not just

throughput

- The cross-compilation and build path to the embedded target, and the

containerised builds the team tests in

- Architecture decisions. This is not a finished design waiting for hands.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

- 3-6 years building applications in C++, on Linux

- You have shipped something that people outside your team depended on, and

fixed it when it broke.



We weight this most heavily.

- Real C++ depth - ownership and lifetime, resource management, threading

- You have chased a latency or jitter problem to its actual cause

- Cross-compilation you have done yourself, including the parts that go wrong:

toolchains, sysroots, debugging on a target that is not your build machine

- Docker for reproducible builds and test environments

VALUABLE TO HAVE

- CUDA or GPU compute

- Signal or image processing background

WHAT WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR

- NDT or ultrasound knowledge. The physics is learnable and we have 50+ ASNT

certified people to teach it. We are hiring the software engineer.

- A robotics or ROS background.

- A degree from any particular institution.

This work transfers directly from medical ultrasound imaging, sonar,

radar and phased-array systems, or seismic imaging - the array mathematics is

the same, pointed at a different material. If you have built a real-time

imaging pipeline in any of those, the domain gap here is small.
