Our client is a pioneering Defence & Marine Technology company at the forefront of autonomous systems development in Singapore. They are building the next generation of autonomous naval vessels that operate intelligently on water - integrating AI, robotics, and advanced network communications.
This is a rare opportunity to work on real, field-deployed autonomous vessels - not simulations. Your code will go to sea.
The Role - Be Part of Our Success
You will join a multidisciplinary team of software, robotics, and systems engineers working on full-stack autonomy for naval platforms. From requirements gathering to sea trials, you will own the full Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) for mission-critical systems.
What You Will Do:
Work in a diverse team to gather software requirements, design, implement and test autonomy software for unmanned naval vessels
Execute full SDLC - from architecture and design to implementation, testing and deployment
Write well-designed, high-quality, testable code in C++ for real-time, autonomous operations
Develop and implement comprehensive software testing and validation plans to ensure robustness at sea
Conduct software integration and testing with actual vessel systems - your software in real hardware, on real water
Research and bring in the latest developments in robotics software, AI, and autonomous systems - bring new ideas to the team
Document and maintain software design, testing and validation artefacts to high engineering standards
Collaborate across mechanical, electrical, controls and systems teams
Qualities We Value
Must-Have:
Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or related discipline
Preferably 2+ years experience in software development, with strong proficiency in C++
Good knowledge of network communication protocols (TCP/IP, UDP, DDS, etc.)
Familiar with Git and software version control
Understanding of full SDLC and ability to write clean, testable, maintainable code
Ability to document requirements and specifications clearly
Good communication skills, both written and verbal
Good-to-Have / Strong Advantage:
Knowledge of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Control Systems, Signal Processing
General knowledge of robotics - mobile platforms, manipulators, autonomous vehicles, sensors, actuators, automation
Experience with ROS / ROS2, robotics middleware, or autonomous systems
Experience in maritime / defence / autonomous vehicles / unmanned systems
