Develop and integrate production-quality C++/Python software for Poseidon robots, interfacing with motors and sensors, building automated tests and diagnostics, analyzing field failures and metrics, and collaborating with mechanical, electrical, field, and software teams to ensure reliable robotic operation.
The summary above was generated by AI

What you get to do:

  • Support motor and sensor selection, development, and integration efforts on our Poseidon robots, enabling both current and next-gen deployments

  • Write software to interface directly with hardware that improves robot behavior, user safety, and system efficiency

  • Design and implement automated testing and diagnostic frameworks for robotic components, supporting reliable operation in the field, manufacturing, and R&D

  • Analyze metrics and investigate failure modes observed in the field or at our in-house test room

  • Develop highly reliable, maintainable, and testable code

  • Collaborate closely with our highly multidisciplinary team spanning mechanical, electrical, field, and software to deliver a robust robotic system!

What you will need:

  • A bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field

  • Experience owning a project in C++ or Python from development to production

  • Desire to learn new technologies and to apply them to solve real-world challenges

  • Break down complex technical concepts – communicate them clearly to different audiences

  • Loves learning new technologies and applying them to solve real-world challenges

  • Strong problem-solving skills and an ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, highly cross-functional setting

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Other things to know:

This is a 100% in-person role! The position requires hands-on integration and testing with our robots in office as well as collaboration with our hardware focused teams.

You will be working with a fast moving team of software and mechanical engineers during the most exciting phase of our growth – expanding to support new fish species, more robots in the field, and developing software based tools for fishermen efficiency.

Our technology integrates computer vision and advanced mechanisms to assist fishermen in fish processing, enhancing efficiency and product quality.
