The company has a worldwide impact in the marine sector by leading the next generation of maritime domain awareness technologies "MDA", products, and systems that significantly enhance security, safety, environmental protection, and sustainability. Our customers are global and range from the largest national coast guards to individual vessel owners.
SRT is an exciting company where high-quality results are rewarded. We are ambitious and constantly seek to innovate in order to deliver better products and services to our customers. We strive to make SRT a rewarding and challenging place to work, where talented, hard-working individuals have the opportunity to make a real impact across the marine industry.
We are seeking a Sensor Software Engineer to design, develop, and integrate sensor capabilities within a Marine Domain Awareness (MDA) platform. The role focuses on ingesting, controlling, and processing data from coastal surveillance cameras, radio direction finders (RDF), radar, AIS, and other maritime sensors, and exposing this data in a consistent, operationally robust format.
The role of Sensor Software Engineer is a hands-on engineering role requiring strong C#/.NET development skills, experience working with real-world sensor systems, and the ability to partner effectively with AI/ML components to deliver intelligent detection, classification, and tracking capabilities.
About the role of Sensor Software Engineer - (not exhaustive):
You'll work on the "sensors at the fringe" fixed and mobile surveillance equipment such as radars, cameras, RDF, AIS, and other specialist maritime sensors. Your mission as a Sensor Software Engineer will be to integrate, calibrate, and optimise these systems in non-production environments, building the software that makes their outputs usable for downstream systems and training our Delivery Team for field deployment.
The role of Sensor Software Engineer spans multi-domain sensor fusion, AI-assisted analysis, anomaly detection, augmented reality, autonomous sentry operation, and evidence collection. You'll work closely with colleagues across software, hardware, data science, and infrastructure to bring innovative, high-performance edge solutions to life.
