Build mission-ready tech that protects the nation.

We are an autonomy-focused engineering team operating at the intersection of robotics, artificial intelligence, and the maritime domain. Our mission is to design, develop, and deploy intelligent autonomous systems that operate in complex, contested, and unstructured ocean environments. We develop perception, planning, and control solutions for unmanned surface vessels (USVs), unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs), and multi‑agent maritime platforms enabling advanced autonomy capabilities that address real‑world operational challenges  work spans the full autonomy stack, from sensor fusion and state estimation to mission planning, decision‑making, and human‑machine teaming, all with a rigorous focus on safety, reliability, and performance in dynamic maritime conditions.

The role will contribute to the design and implementation of autonomous behaviors for maritime robotic systems. They will work within a multidisciplinary team to develop and validate software modules across the perception, planning, and control stack translating operational requirements into deployable autonomy solutions. They will participate in the full software development lifecycle, from architecture and prototyping through integration, field testing, and iterative refinement, while collaborating closely with systems engineers, hardware leads, and mission stakeholders.

Join us. The world can't wait.
