Application End Date

We are using and creating technology to transform operations at sea to enable people and the planet to thrive.

We are open-minded and fearless in our approach to innovation and don't believe in boundaries. We challenge everything and have massive ambitions to drag aging industries into the tech era.

We take safety, equality and education very seriously, and our responsibilities don't stop at our front door. Our business is built on the belief that there's definitely a more environmentally responsible way to operate at sea.

We employ people who share our core values. We expect our people to be courageous, trustworthy, and conscientious, driven by a desire to do the right thing. We strive for excellence, work collaboratively, and are genuinely excited by our work.

We offer opportunities for our people to develop beyond their role and span a multitude of disciplines. These are open to all, regardless of background and experience level. Working with us means being part of a team that is harnessing technology and creativity to disrupt a traditional industry.

We are not your average workplace.

What You Will Do
We are looking for a talented and purpose-driven Software Engineer to become part of our global technology team, dedicated to developing high-performance, software-enabled marine robotics. From autonomous underwater vehicles to high-speed surface vessels, your contributions will be central to the real-time control, autonomy, and field operations of advanced platforms.

Our team designs, builds, and operates some of the world's most sophisticated uncrewed systems, tackling challenging missions in remote and demanding environments. In these high-stakes scenario, where data is scarce and there is no margin for error - software is vital to ensuring the safety, reliability, and excellence of every operation.

The duties and responsibilities for this position include, but are not limited to:

• Developing and refining real-time control systems for high-speed autonomous surface and underwater vehicles
• Writing reliable software for navigation, mission execution, fault management, and sensor integration
• Designing communications interfaces (serial, satellite, acoustic) and managing edge cases like low bandwidth or lost links
• Building safety-critical subsystems including fallback modes, health monitoring, and emergency handling
• Working closely with field teams to test, iterate, and validate software under operational conditions
• Participating in design reviews, simulations, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and sea trials

Who You Are
We're looking for someone who's as comfortable debugging real-time code as they are collaborating with engineers across hardware, software, and field ops. You'll bring a strong technical foundation and the mindset to deliver complex systems that operate reliably in high-consequence environments.

Essential

• Strong proficiency in modern C++ (C++11 or later), ideally within safety- or mission-critical applications
• Experience with real-time or embedded systems (e.g. RTOS, bare metal, or Linux-based platforms)
• Familiarity with Linux development workflows, and Git
• Proven ability to work as part of a multi-disciplinary engineering team
• Strong sense of ownership: you take initiative, simplify where possible, and follow through on commitments
• Resilience and adaptability: you stay focused when things change, fail, or need to be reworked
• Commitment to safety and quality: you understand the system-level impact of your code and act accordingly

Desirable

• Understanding of navigation, control systems, and sensor fusion
• Experience with serial and low-bandwidth communications (e.g. RS-232/485, acoustic, satellite)
• Knowledge of geodetic calculations or coordinate transformation systems
• Familiarity with DCCL or similar compact data encoding standards
• Field experience in deploying, testing, or troubleshooting autonomous systems in operational environments

Salary
: The salary varies for this position as we are recruiting in multiple regional locations and job grades. The salary process is based on skills, abilities, and experience required.

What You Can Expect
At Ocean Infinity, we believe in creating equal opportunities for all, celebrating each and everyone's differences. We are driven by transforming the industry, through our technology, thoughts, behaviours and actions. Being inclusive and respectful to all is fundamental to who we are. It is the right thing to do and enables innovation and creativity to thrive.

There is more work to be done, and we know that we aren't perfect, but our commitment to these values is unwavering. They are central to our mission and the impact we have on the industry, meaning, we cannot live without them.
