About the role
The National Oceanography Centre is seeking a Robotics Autonomy Software Engineer to join its Marine Autonomous Robotic System (MARS) software development team. This position offers the opportunity to contribute to the advancement of autonomous systems that support marine science and technology across a range of operational contexts. The successful candidate will play a key role in the development of onboard autonomy and decision-making capabilities for AUVs. This includes the implementation of adaptive planning, collaborative multi-vehicle behaviours, and in-situ environmental response mechanisms.
In addition to autonomy development, the role will involve a significant amount of work related to the integration and support of the broader AUV onboard software system. The ability to contribute across the full software stack is essential for ensuring robust and operationally reliable systems. The postholder will work within a multidisciplinary team of engineers, scientists, and field operators, and will contribute to real-world deployments supporting national and international marine research missions.
