Amidon is a venture-backed startup building the world’s first autonomous network to safeguard critical subsea infrastructure—the foundation of global trade, energy, and communications.
Today’s ocean infrastructure is vast, vital, and exposed. Our autonomous systems provide the continuous presence needed to detect threats, prevent failures, and secure the subsea environments that keep the world running. We help operators move from reactive maintenance to proactive resilience: cutting costs, reducing risk, and raising the bar for reliability.
We’re looking for passionate, driven individuals to join our fast-moving, collaborative team at the forefront of subsea robotics. In this next phase of growth, we’re hiring a Software Engineer to push the boundaries of what’s possible in autonomous systems.
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 with SLAM and path optimization algorithms.
-
Develop simulations, conduct real-world tests, and analyze data to validate and optimize autonomy algorithms and system performance in both virtual and field environments.
-
Support integration and calibration of navigation and perception sensors (e.g. sonar, DVL, INS, cameras).
-
Build tools for mission planning, visualization, and system diagnostics.
Qualifications:
-
2+ years of experience focused on autonomous or robotics systems (AUVs, drones, mobile robotics).
-
Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering or a related field.
-
Strong programming skills in C++ and/or Python
-
Experience with sensor fusion and sensors (sonar, IMUs, cameras, LIDAR, GPS).
-
Familiarity with SLAM, dead reckoning, and underwater navigation techniques.
-
Familiarity with machine learning to enhance autonomy algorithms for perception and decision-making.
-
Experience with ROS2 and simulation tools (Gazebo, RViz).
-
Project experience with autonomous mobile robots, drones, or other intelligent systems.
