Job Description
Job Title: Robotics Engineer (AUV & ROV Systems)
Location: Bengaluru / On-site (with field deployments)
Experience: 2–4 years (flexible for exceptional candidates)
Employment Type: Full-time
Role Overview
We are looking for a Robotics Engineer who can work across software and hardware layers of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) and Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs).
This role involves designing, integrating, and deploying robotic systems for underwater autonomy, with strong ownership over ROS-based architectures, sensor fusion, and system integration.
You will work closely with mechanical, electronics, autonomy, and product teams, taking systems from lab to water.
Key Responsibilities Robotics Software & Autonomy
- Design, develop, and maintain ROS / ROS2-based architectures for AUVs and ROVs
- Implement sensor fusion pipelines using IMU, DVL, depth sensors, cameras, sonar, GPS (surface), etc.
- Develop and integrate navigation, localization, and state estimation algorithms
- Work on real-time robotics middleware, data pipelines, and mission control interfaces
- Support autonomy levels ranging from teleoperated to semi-autonomous and autonomous modes
Robotics Hardware & Integration
- Own end-to-end robotic system integration (software ↔ electronics ↔ sensors ↔ mechanical)
- Lead robotics sensor selection, benchmarking, and validation (IMUs, DVLs, sonars, cameras, pressure sensors, acoustic modems)
- Interface with vendors for sensor evaluation, procurement, and finalisation
- Support electrical integration with flight controllers, SBCs, power systems, and comms modules
- Assist in waterproofing, pressure tolerance, and field readiness considerations
Testing, Deployment & Debugging
- Plan and execute lab tests, pool trials, and field deployments
- Debug complex hardware–software interaction issues
- Analyse logs, sensor data, and mission results to improve system performance
- Support system validation, reliability testing, and failure analysis
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Work closely with mechanical, electronics, AI, and product teams
- Translate mission requirements into robotics system specifications
- Contribute to system architecture decisions and design reviews
- Document system behaviour, interfaces, and operational procedures
Required Skills & Qualifications Must-Have
- Strong experience with ROS / ROS2
- Hands-on experience with robotics sensor fusion (IMU + DVL + depth + vision/sonar)
- Proficiency in C++ and/or Python
- Solid understanding of:
- Kinematics & dynamics
- Localization & navigation
- Control systems
- Experience integrating real-world robotic hardware
- Comfortable working with embedded systems, SBCs, and flight controllers
Good-to-Have (Strong Advantage)
- Prior experience with AUVs, ROVs, USVs, drones, or field robotics
- Experience with underwater sensors (DVL, imaging sonar, acoustic comms)
- Familiarity with PX4 / Ardu Pilot or similar autopilots
- Exposure to marine environments, field robotics, or defence systems
- Experience working with Git, CI/CD, and structured testing workflows
What We’re Looking For (Mindset Fit)
- Comfortable working hands-on across hardware and software
- Thrives in early-stage, fast-iteration environments
- Willing to get involved in field trials and deployments
- Thinks in systems, not silos
- Can own problems end-to-end and drive them to closure
