Autonomy Engineering Lead for deep ocean robotics startup [Massachusetts, USA]

Orpheus Ocean is a venture-backed startup building the future of deep ocean exploration. We’re commercializing and scaling a novel AUV, developed at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in collaboration with NASA JPL. The AUV is the first to enable autonomous interaction with the seafloor, uncoupled from the ship.

We’re seeking an expert in marine autonomous systems to lead development and deployment of our software stack. System is currently built in ROS and will be upgrading to ROS2 in the near future. This is a leadership role and we’re looking for someone who can take ownership of this system and grow with the company.

Ideal candidates will have 5+ years post-graduate experience in autonomy engineering, previous experience in a commercial R&D/product development setting, and experience at sea.

Preferred in-person or hybrid, near our facility in New Bedford, MA. US work authorization required. Competitive salary & benefits, including equity. Role will include periodic at-sea cruises in the near term.
