Senior Software Engineer

Our client is a pioneering Defence & Marine Technology company at the forefront of autonomous systems development in Singapore. They are building the next generation of autonomous naval vessels that operate intelligently on water - integrating AI, robotics, and advanced network communications.

This is a rare opportunity to work on real, field-deployed autonomous vessels - not simulations. Your code will go to sea.

The Role - Be Part of Our Success

Budget : 6k SGD ++

You will join a multidisciplinary team of software, robotics, and systems engineers working on full-stack autonomy for naval platforms. From requirements gathering to sea trials, you will own the full Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) for mission-critical systems.

What You Will Do:

• Work in a diverse team to gather software requirements, design, implement and test autonomy software for unmanned naval vessels
• Execute full SDLC - from architecture and design to implementation, testing and deployment
• Write well-designed, high-quality, testable code in C++ for real-time, autonomous operations
• Develop and implement comprehensive software testing and validation plans to ensure robustness at sea
• Conduct software integration and testing with actual vessel systems - your software in real hardware, on real water
• Research and bring in the latest developments in robotics software, AI, and autonomous systems - bring new ideas to the team
• Document and maintain software design, testing and validation artefacts to high engineering standards
• Collaborate across mechanical, electrical, controls and systems teams

Qualities We Value

Must-Have:

• Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or related discipline
• Preferably 2+ years experience in software development, with strong proficiency in C++
• Good knowledge of network communication protocols (TCP/IP, UDP, DDS, etc.)
• Familiar with Git and software version control
• Understanding of full SDLC and ability to write clean, testable, maintainable code
• Ability to document requirements and specifications clearly
• Good communication skills, both written and verbal

Good-to-Have / Strong Advantage:

• Knowledge of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Control Systems, Signal Processing
• General knowledge of robotics - mobile platforms, manipulators, autonomous vehicles, sensors, actuators, automation
• Experience with ROS / ROS2, robotics middleware, or autonomous systems
• Experience in maritime / defence
