If you thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment and are excited about using cutting-edge robotics to make a meaningful global impact, we want to hear from you.
Your Role
You will play a key role in advancing the autonomy and data intelligence of underwater robotic systems for the inspection of submerged infrastructure. Working closely with stakeholders — and in collaboration with BeeX’s field-proven AUV platforms — you will design, test, and validate algorithms that enhance situational awareness, reliability, and automation of underwater missions.
Your Job Scope
· Design and implement algorithms for structural anomaly detection from sensor data (e.g. camera, forward looking sonar, multi-beam sonar, etc.).
· Conduct simulation and field trials, including data collection, processing, and analysis.
· Work with cross-disciplinary teams to integrate algorithms into operational AUV platforms.
· Prepare technical documentation, research publications, and project deliverables.
Desired Qualities
· Technical Competencies:
o PhD (or near completion) in Electrical/Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline.
o Candidates without PhD but with strong technical competency and relevant experience will also be considered for this role
o Strong foundation in autonomous systems, robotic perception and 3D computer vision
o Proficiency in Python/C++ and ROS (Robot Operating System)
o Experience in machine learning and signal processing for anomaly detection.
o Familiarity with 3D reconstruction and point cloud processing
o Understanding of sensor fusion and navigation algorithms
· Preferred Experience:
o Hands-on experience with AUVs, ROVs, or other field robotics systems.
o Experience in structural defect detection based on visual and/or 3D point cloud
o Exposure to deep learning frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch) for perception tasks.
o Knowledge of autonomous mission planning
o Familiarity with Linux, Docker, and version control systems (Git).
o Previous work in infrastructure inspection, marine sensing, or predictive maintenance applications.
· Personal Attributes:
o Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset.
o Self-motivated and proactive in research execution.
o Excellent communication and teamwork skills across academic and industry partners.
o Willingness to participate in field deployments and trials.
Remuneration & Benefits
