Software Engineer

Amidon Heavy Industries (Amidon) is a venture-backed company transforming America's maritime capabilities. We specialize in autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) designed to address modern maritime challenges. By leveraging breakthroughs in manufacturing, energy systems, and autonomy, we deliver scalable solutions tailored for the evolving needs of naval operations.

For years, legacy companies have struggled to advance subsea technology, leaving critical gaps in innovation and capability. Amidon takes a fresh approach, breaking away from outdated practices to design affordable, high-performance systems that enhance naval security and fleet logistics.

As we grow, we are seeking passionate, driven individuals to join a dynamic, innovative, and high-energy team that is at the forefront of subsea robotics. In this fast-paced startup environment, collaboration, creativity, and idea-sharing are integral to our success. We are looking for a Software Engineer to help drive the next phase of development, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in undersea robotics.

Responsibilities :

• Develop and implement software for autonomy, guidance, navigation, and control systems, including algorithms for path planning, localization, motion control, and environmental mapping for AUVs.
• Design and optimize navigation, obstacle avoidance, sensor fusion, and mission planning algorithms (e.g., SLAM, sensor calibration, path optimization).
• Integrate sensors (sonar, IMUs, cameras) and actuators (thrusters, fins) into the autonomy software. Emphasis on real-time data processing. Experience with modular payload standards is preferred.
• Develop simulations, conduct real-world tests, and analyze data to validate and optimize autonomy algorithms and system performance in both virtual and field environments.
• Ensure autonomy software meets real-time performance requirements for underwater operations, focusing on low-latency, fault-tolerant systems.
