Senior Vehicle UI Software Engineer

Seasats • San Diego, CA

1d • $160,000 - $210,000 • Onsite

About The Position

The vehicle user interface team is responsible for building the command center for our ASVs -- the essential tool operators use to monitor and control every mission. Our operators and our customers rely on the vehicle interface to present complex vessel data clearly and intuitively, whether they’re navigating through crowded harbors or operating with limited communication hundreds of miles offshore. As part of the team, you’ll build a deep understanding of our ASVs’ capabilities, the vision behind them, and the realities that operators experience when using them. Armed with this knowledge, you’ll work to design and implement an interface that presents complex vessel data clearly and intuitively, and also feels natural to experienced operators and first-time operators alike. You’ll collaborate closely with roboticists, test engineers, and field operators to ensure what you build works in both theory and practice. As a senior member of the team, you'll help guide the technical direction of the team and elevate software engineering practices across our company.
