About the role
Standard Subsea is building the offshore robotics company. We are developing a fleet of unmanned surface vessels and subsea vehicles to put operations capacity where it's needed, without crewed vessels, without mobilization delays, and at a fraction of the cost.
The Role:
We are hiring a Robotics Engineer to work hands-on across software, hardware, and system integration for our marine robotics platform. This is a generalist robotics role focused on making real systems work in the field.
You will contribute to core robotics functionality including sensor integration, controls, communications, and actuator-level behavior on physical platforms. You’ll work closely with mechanical, electrical, and software engineers to turn prototypes into reliable, deployable systems.
Responsibilities: Develop and maintain robotics software in C++ and Python using ROS/ROS2
Integrate and operate point cloud–producing sensors (lidar, radar, sonar) on physical systems
Implement and debug robotics communication interfaces (CAN, serial, Ethernet, etc.)
Build and maintain control logic including state machines, PID loops, and feedback control
Work hands-on with motors, actuators, and low-level hardware interfaces
Support system integration, bench testing, and field testing on real vehicles
Collaborate closely with mechanical, electrical, and test engineers to close integration gaps
Qualifications: Degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Computer Engineering, or related field
1–2 years of industry or research experience post-graduation (or equivalent hands‑on work)
Strong proficiency in C++, Python, and modern ROS-based workflows
Experience working with real robotic hardware, not just simulation
Solid understanding of controls fundamentals and embedded system behavior
Comfortable debugging across software, electrical, and mechanical boundaries
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
