Project description:

You will join a project focused on designing and developing advanced autonomous systems operating in land, air and maritime environments.

The role requires defining system architecture and supporting teams in building robust, scalable and secure solutions that meet strict defence and safety requirements.

Main responsibilities:

• Design and define architecture for autonomous systems (hardware + software)

• Define system decomposition, components and interfaces across layers

• Design and review algorithms for perception, navigation, decision-making and control

• Ensure performance, feasibility and robustness of solutions

• Support development teams and resolve complex technical challenges

• Define and apply simulation-based approaches for system design and validation

• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams (embedded, robotics, electronics, systems)

• Ensure compliance with safety, reliability and defence requirements
