🚀 What we’re building

Our vision is to create a new market of regenerative underwater transport systems in a healthy ocean.

The mission is to restore our ocean by decarbonising shipping. We build zero-emission unmanned autonomous cargo submarines capable of cleaning up the ocean, collecting ocean data while delivering cargo. Restoring our ocean is our personal mission and with the world's best team involved, we believe we can disrupt the traditional shipping industry through first principle engineering, innovative production techniques, and a scrappy start-up approach to problem-solving.

We’re trying to accomplish something that has never been done by humans before. You’ll be at the forefront of underwater transport systems & actively contributing to our planet directly through your work at Oceanways. Being involved in disruptive startups like Oceanways at this early stage is the most thrilling job in the world, and it also happens to be the clearest path to creating an impact on the planet.

The Role

Humans have never attempted this before and you’ll work directly with our Product Delivery Manager/ Chief Engineer to make this possible. Your main role would be software development & rapid prototyping including sensor selection for autonomous command, control and navigation.

Core responsibilities

Conceptualise, design and create technical drawings for hardware/ software platform to autonomously operate the submarine with “low-cost innovations” as key criteria.
Select components, manufacturers depending on the business requirements and technical specifications required for mission one. Deliver a bill of materials for low-cost autonomous command, control & communications and 3d models with dimensions if possible for the engineering team.
Create ROS simulations & demonstrate the autonomous commands, control and communication systems for high-level scenarios with the focus on the surfacing, diving, and path planning. The mitigation strategies for the entire duration of the route from Glasgow to Belfast should include a list of algorithms that would solve the other commands (docking/undocking, loading/unloading)
Explore AI solutions for decarbonisation
