Jouw uitdaging

As a Mechatronics & Robotics Engineer, you will contribute to the development, integration, testing, and validation of advanced autonomous and automated systems for maritime applications.

You will work on innovative solutions for autonomous navigation, obstacle detection and avoidance, decision-making, situational awareness, and communication. Using technologies such as machine learning, computer vision, radar, lidar, sonar, and camera systems, you will help ensure that autonomous platforms can operate reliably and safely in complex maritime environments.

Wat je gaat doen

  • Design autonomous above-water and underwater systems that can operate effectively and safely in maritime environments.

  • Integrate and refine algorithms for autonomous navigation, obstacle detection and avoidance, and decision-making, using machine learning and computer vision techniques.

  • Integrate sensors such as radar, lidar, sonar, and cameras to support navigation and situational awareness.

  • Conduct testing, simulations, and validation activities to assess the safety, reliability, and performance of autonomous systems under different conditions.

  • Ensure compliance with applicable maritime regulations and standards for autonomous systems.

  • Analyse and resolve technical challenges that arise during the development, integration, and deployment of autonomous systems.

Waar je gaat werken

You will join a leading Dutch developer and builder of advanced naval vessels and marine defence systems. The organisation specialises in designing, engineering and constructing technologically complex ships for international clients.

You will work within a multidisciplinary engineering department alongside specialists in mechanical systems, technical arrangements, safety and other disciplines. The environment offers exposure to technically challenging projects, where engineering integration, practical design solutions and collaboration are essential.
