HE ROLEWe are looking for a Senior System Engineer to drive the physical and systemic architecture of our autonomous subsea interceptor platforms (UUVs).Reporting directly to the Program Lead, you will form the core management team for the project. You will not just manage a team of engineers—you will be responsible for turning high-level requirements into operational reality. In the subsea domain, physics is unforgiving. You will dictate the compromises between payload, speed, and endurance, ruthlessly managing the margins that define mission success in extreme maritime environments.

• KEY RESPONSIBILITIESArchitecture Ownership: Serve as the focal technical authority for the vehicle's physical design, bridging mechanical, hydrodynamic, and systems engineering disciplines.
• System Budgets Management: Own physical performance margins with absolute authority. Drive system-level analyses and manage navigation, power, communications, drag, mass, and buoyancy budgets.
• Complex Systems Integration: Lead a multidisciplinary team through complex engineering challenges. Ensure seamless integration of high-voltage battery architectures, operational control loops, and sensor payloads into tightly constrained envelopes.
• Hardware-in-the-Loop (HITL) Validation: Drive the transition from digital models to physical testing, overseeing rigorous HITL testing and qualification logic before platforms hit the water.
• Test Campaigns & Upgrades: Hands-on leadership during field test campaigns, live operations, and long-term platform upgrade roadmaps.

• WHO YOU ARESystems-Level Thinker: You understand that an autonomous vehicle is not just a collection of parts, but a tightly coupled physical system where every gram, watt, and contour matters.
• Field-Tested Engineer: You have real battle scars from taking complex hardware platforms from the whiteboard all the way to real-world operational deployment.
• Pragmatic & Decisive: You thrive when making hard trade-offs under high physical constraints and enjoy seeing your decisions tested in actual ocean conditions.
