Control Systems Integration Engineer

My client is seeking a Control Systems Integration Engineer to join their Autonomy & Control function. This is a key technical role responsible for integrating complex vehicle control software, sensors, communication networks, and embedded systems across a range of cutting-edge platforms.

You'll play a vital part in ensuring the system is robust, reliable, and ready for deployment-supporting installation, configuration, testing, failure analysis, and integration with third-party equipment. This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys true system-level integration and solving complex multi-disciplinary problems.

The Role

• You will be responsible for supporting and enhancing the integration of the USV control system, including software, hardware, and external sensors. Your key responsibilities will include:
• Monitoring system performance and detecting anomalies or failures
• Helping develop automated response processes to system failures, reducing downtime
• Supporting system reliability improvements to maintain high performance and availability
• Installation, configuration, and maintenance of maritime sensors and equipment
• Installation, configuration, and support of IP/Ethernet devices across the product network
• Investigating and diagnosing issues with NMEA2000, NMEA0183, and related marine protocols
• Preparation, testing, and calibration of USV control systems ahead of deployment
• Maintaining strong documentation and configuration control through version control systems
• Supporting Windows/Linux system administration across engineering and control systems
• Assisting with the installation and configuration of complex control systems across multiple product lines
• Helping develop software release processes and configuration control records
• Fault-finding and resolving control system and networking issues
• Working with third-party suppliers to integrate their systems effectively into Kraken products
• Supporting the control design team with implementing high-level behaviours using Python or C++

Are you looking for a role where you can directly influence the performance and reliability of advanced autonomous marine systems?, You will bring:

• Hands-on systems integration experience
• Experience working with Linux-based systems
• Strong practical knowledge of IP networking and debugging
• Understanding of marine systems and protocols such as NMEA, CAN, and Modbus
• Experience using version control software (e.g., Git)
• Understanding of Python or C++ in a technical engineering environment

Desirable (Not Essential)

• Experience with network debugging tools such as Wireshark
• Experience with MAVLink and/or PX4
• Familiarity with real-time or embedded systems
• Ability to interpret electrical schematics for integration and fault-finding
• Experience supporting system acceptance events and sea trials
• Exposure to ROS/ROS2 and/or DDS-based systems

This is an excellent opportunity to work at the forefront of autonomous marine technology, integrating advanced control systems into real-world USV platforms. You'll work closely with engineers across autonomy, software, networking, and electrical disciplines-making a direct impact on product performance and reliability.
