In the Edge Team, 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 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 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.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Design, develop, and maintain edge‑sensor solutions focusing on performance, reliability, and scalability.
• Build test infrastructure to capture and analyse quality and performance metrics.
• Work across the stack - UI, backend, robotics, device integrations, networking - learning new technologies as needed.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to plan, build, and test complex functionality.
• Diagnose and resolve technical issues through root cause analysis.
• Automate SDLC processes to improve efficiency and reduce manual effort.
• Produce and maintain technical documentation.
• Mentor peers, contribute to code reviews, and promote collaborative working practices.

What You'll Bring:

• Strong engineering mindset with experience in one or more of: Microsoft .Net, GoLang, Python, C++, Rust.
• Broad exposure to remote sensing disciplines, including mathematics, physics, and geospatial mapping.
• Experience working with sensor hardware and electronics.
• Knowledge of networking principles, protocols, and services.
• Application development across embedded, desktop, and web platforms.
• Video and radar signal processing (e.g., OpenCV).
• AI‑based, hardware‑accelerated image processing (e.g., YOLO).
• Familiarity with enterprise systems architecture.
• Experience with version control systems (Git) and SDLC automation tools.
• Excellent problem‑solving, debugging, and collaboration skills.

Why Join Us?

• Work on mission‑critical maritime surveillance systems used worldwide.
• Be part of an ambitious, innovative, and supportive team making a direct impact on global maritime safety and sustainability.
• Enjoy flexible hybrid working.
• Competitive salary and benefits, including matched pension contributions up to 5%, private health care, development and training programmes.
