Mountain View, United States Aqua Satellite Full time

About Aqua Satellite


Aqua Satellite’s vision is to make ocean data accessible easily and inexpensively to industry and science. We will accomplish this with plentiful autonomous underwater vehicles capable of reaching anywhere in the ocean with a high degree of speed, endurance, and sensing capability. Key to our platform is integrating embodied intelligence and edge computation that enable safe navigation, high-resolution mapping, and scientific discoveries/breakthroughs. Aqua Satellite is based in Northern California, but will operate all over the world. We are a small team with keen interest in the ocean and the planet, learning by doing, and pushing the boundaries of technology. 


Role Overview


You will play a key role in architecting, developing, and maintaining the core robotics stack and production code for our AUV platform. You will add deep experience in robust and reliable autonomy approaches to our growing team. You have a healthy sense of pragmatic but professional software development and you care about developing well-tested, safe code, while also avoiding premature optimization and valuing simplicity/agility for our small team.


In this role, you will work cross-functionally with the other team members in software engineering, navigation, perception, and machine learning. Your contributions will focus on high-endurance and low-cost autonomy in the austere ocean environment. 


No candidate will be a perfect fit for every posted aspect of this role.

  • Support the Prototyping, testing, and iteration of algorithms for motion planning, trajectory optimization, object detection, and collision avoidance.
  • Perform embedded Integration for sensors (IMU, pressure, sonar, GPS) and off-board communications (local radio, iridium)
  • Validate approaches in simulation and make reliable for field deployment
  • Direct field experiments and testing for real-world feedback and verification
  • Write clean, maintainable code that runs efficiently on our embedded platforms and helps streamline the autonomy development process
