- Assisting with system testing, debugging and validation activities
- Experience with Python (OpenCV preferred)
- Exposure to C# (WPF) and C++
- Understanding of AI/ML fundamentals and data‑driven systems
- Strong mathematical foundation (e.g. linear algebra, geometry)
- Awareness of autonomous systems and sensing technologies
- Ability to translate technical requirements into development tasks
- Experience with LiDAR, radar or point cloud processing
- Knowledge of ROS, Tensor Flow or Py Torch
- Understanding of GPS/localisation systems
- Exposure to system architecture, diagrams or COTS technologies
- Strong problem‑solving and analytical mindset
- Curiosity about how systems work end‑to‑end
- Ability to collaborate across multidisciplinary teams
