Maritime Autonomous Systems Engineer

PUT AUTONOMY TO WORK AT SEA 

• Reports to: Maritime Operations Manager, US 
• Location: Remote, US 
• Travel: Up to 50%, domestic and international, including customer sites, vessel deployments, sea trials and demonstrations

Greenroom Robotics is a maritime technology company developing software for autonomous, remote and digitally enabled vessel operations. Founded in Australia and now growing across the US, our technology is used across defense and commercial maritime programs, helping operators navigate safely, understand complex environments, rehearse missions and operate with greater autonomy. 

As our US customer base grows, we are looking for a hands on Maritime Autonomous Systems Engineer to integrate and deploy our autonomy and perception software on customer vessels and autonomous platforms. 

You will often be Greenroom’s main technical representative on site. You will own problems as they come up, keep customers and internal teams informed, and keep deployments moving when conditions, requirements or technical challenges change. 

WHAT YOU’LL DO 

• Lead the integration, commissioning and deployment of Greenroom software on customer vessels and autonomous platforms. 
• Configure and validate our autonomy, perception, maritime operations and simulation products across a range of customer environments. 
• Plan and run harbor acceptance testing, sea trials, customer demonstrations and operational validation. 
• Diagnose and resolve complex software, hardware, networking and systems integration issues, in the office and in the field. 
• Work methodically through ambiguous problems during deployments, bringing in internal specialists when needed. 
• Communicate progress, technical issues, risks and resolution plans clearly to customers and internal stakeholders. 
• Develop and improve deployment tooling, commissioning procedures, integration documentation and technical standards. 
• Work closely with Robotics, Perception, Product, Delivery and Customer Success teams to improve system performance, reliability and deployment efficiency. 
• Collect operational feedback and field data to shape product improvements. 
• Train customers and partners on system operation, troubleshooting and best practices. 
• Spend periods underway on customer vessels supporting test and evaluation, sea trials, commissioning and troubleshooting. 

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR 

You are a practical engineer who enjoys solving real problems in real environments. You are calm under pressure, take ownership on site and can explain technical issues clearly to customers, operators and engineers. 

You will ideally bring: 

• Experience integrating, commissioning or deploying robotics, autonomy, perception or complex software systems on real platforms. 
• Strong troubleshooting skills across software, hardware and networking. 
• Experience planning and running field testing, trials or acceptance testing. 
• Clear, confident communication with customers and internal teams. 
• The ability to work independently in the field while coordinating closely with engineering and Operations teams. 
• A willingness to travel up to 50% of the time, including periods at sea. 
• A relevant engineering degree or equivalent practical experience. 

Experience in maritime, naval systems, autonomy, robotics, defense technology or Linux-based systems would be highly regarded. 

This role requires US citizenship and eligibility to obtain a US security clearance. An existing clearance is beneficial but not essential. 

WHAT WE OFFER 

• Competitive base salary, plus eligibility for the company bonus 
• Health insurance and 401(k) 
• 20 days paid leave plus 10 public holidays 

WHY GREENROOM? 

Greenroom is moving from individual defense projects into larger programs and long-term partnerships, and our US team is growing fast. 

You will join at a formative point and help shape how Greenroom integrates and deploys its products as the US customer base grows. What you learn in the field will feed directly into making our autonomy platform easier to integrate, deploy, operate and support at scale.
