The Role
Develop and integrate UI modules for underwater robotic platforms, including real-time data visualizations, user interactions, and web applications. Conduct functional verification and troubleshooting, translate user requirements into production-ready software, refine visual and interaction layers, and create technical documentation. Collaborate cross-functionally while applying event-driven programming, clean coding, and version control practices.
Summary Generated by Built In
Tethys Robotics develops innovative robotic solutions for subsea inspection & investigation operations in challenging conditions. We serve governmental organizations, large asset operators and industrial service providers operating in high-demand and mission-critical environments.
As an ETH Zürich spin-off, we are a fast-growing pioneer in underwater robotics, rooted in Switzerland. As we scale from individual systems towards the production and delivery of multiple robots in parallel, we are looking for a hands-on UI Software Engineer to help develop, industrialize and continuously improve our robotic platforms.
Tasks
* Develop and integrate complex UI modules, connecting disparate systems and data streams.
* Implement sophisticated real-time data visualizations.
* Implement core user interactions with robotic systems and web applications.
* Perform functional verification tests and troubleshoot issues.
* Support user interviews and help translate requirements into design input criteria.
* Work with the development team to refine the visual and interaction layer.
* Create technical documentation for user interaction and implementation.
Requirements
* 2+ years of experience with Unity (C# and uGUI) or a TypeScript framework (Vue.js or similar). Experience with both is a strong advantage.
* 1+ year of hands-on experience developing real-time visualization systems.
* A passion for human-computer interaction (HCI) and the ability to translate abstract requirements into concrete, production-ready code.
* Completed education in computer science, software engineering, human-computer interaction, game development, or another highly technical engineering field with a focus on user-centric software development.
* Understanding of event-driven programming and experience applying it in software development.
* Experience working with Git version control.
* Strong problem-solving and connected thinking skills.
* A drive to write clean, high-quality code.
* Comfortable working in a cross-functional team.
* Good organizational skills and attention to detail.
* Fluent in spoken and written English.
* Interest in underwater robotics.
_You don't meet every point exactly? Apply anyways!_
Bonus points if you bring:
* Knowledge of robotics middleware such as ROS/ROS2 and experience interfacing with live sensor data.
* Experience with map rendering and interaction logic in both 2D and 3D.
* Hands-on experience with drones or other robotic systems.
* Experience with high-performance rendering or computationally intensive visualizations, such as compute shaders, graphics pipelines, or point clouds.
* Knowledge of clean code practices and software design principles such as SOLID.
* Experience with automated testing, CI/CD, or GitHub Actions.
* Familiarity with concurrent programming.
* Experience with Python.
Benefits
* Collaborative culture where your ideas directly impact product development.
* A dynamic, passionate and high-performance team with a strong builder mentality and flat hierarchies.
* Streamlined decision-making processes, flat start-up hierarchies, and modern working methods that cultivate great ideas.
* Exposure to cutting-edge robot technology and hands-on experience with real-world data processing and visualization.
* Modern office in Schlieren, Zürich.
* Attractive compensation in a startup environment.
