To strengthen our team at the location in Bremen with flexible working time models and the option of home office we are looking for a Robotic Software Engineer - Maritime Robotics - AUV Trajectory Planning & Inspection (all genders welcome) As a Robotics Software Engineer, you are responsible for the trajectory planning of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) used for close range inspection of maritime infrastructure. You develop robust, ROS2 based algorithms and work closely with interdisciplinary teams and research partners to drive innovative solutions in underwater robotics.

What you can expect

You design and implement algorithms for trajectory planning of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) with a focus on efficient close‑range inspection. You develop solutions for the inspection of critical underwater infrastructure (e.g. pipelines, offshore structures, energy and communication networks) and validate them for use under real‑world offshore conditions. You plan, support and evaluate simulations as well as maritime field trials and analyse relevant sensor and navigation data. You use modern software development environments and open‑source frameworks (in particular ROS2) as well as relevant libraries to implement and evaluate your algorithms. You work closely with universities and research institutions in the field of maritime robotics and autonomous systems and actively contribute to joint research and development projects.

What you bring

To become part of the Rosenxt family, you stand out through an independent, structured and team‑oriented way of working as well as strong communication and collaboration skills. You also bring:

You have a degree in a technical field such as robotics, computer science, mechatronics, electrical engineering, or a comparable field, ideally with a focus on maritime robotics or AUV-based inspection. You have several years of professional experience in robotics, autonomous systems, or maritime robotics. You have in-depth knowledge of trajectory planning, navigation, and control, as well as solid programming skills - preferably in C++ - and practical experience with ROS2-based systems. Ideally, you already have experience with AUVs, sensor fusion, or underwater navigation. You have a strong ownership mindset and excellent communication skills when working in interdisciplinary teams. You have a strong affinity for research and for collaborating with universities and research institutes.
