Autonomy Engineer information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an autonomy engineer?

To thrive as an Autonomy Engineer, you need expertise in robotics, control systems, sensor integration, and software development—often supported by a degree in engineering, computer science, or a related field. Familiarity with programming languages like C++ or Python, simulation environments such as ROS (Robot Operating System), and potentially certifications in robotics or AI are highly valuable. Strong problem-solving abilities, collaborative teamwork, and effective communication skills distinguish top candidates in this field. These skills and qualities are essential for designing, implementing, and refining autonomous systems that operate reliably and safely in real-world environments.

What does an autonomy engineer do?

An Autonomy Engineer develops and integrates algorithms, sensors, and software to enable autonomous systems such as self-driving cars, drones, or robotics. They work with machine learning, computer vision, control systems, and sensor fusion to enhance navigation, perception, and decision-making capabilities. Their role involves testing and optimizing autonomous behaviors in simulations and real-world environments to ensure safety and efficiency.

Job description

Job Description
Location: Birmingham, Alabama
Transform Maritime Autonomy with Cutting-Edge AI/ML
Are you a Navigation and Autonomy Engineer ready to revolutionize marine technology? Join Tocaro Blue, where your expertise in perception, tracking, and navigation will shape the future of maritime perception and autonomous navigation.
With Tocaro Blue, as an Associate Navigation and Autonomy Engineer, you'll be at the forefront of developing the intelligent systems that will power autonomous marine operations. Working within an elite team of 5-7 engineers, you will help architect and implement the next generation of our software products that support marine autonomy: multi-target tracking, sensor fusion (especially using marine Radar and EO/IR cameras), localization in GPS-denied environments, and path-planning.
The users of our perception software products include the developers of Unmanned and Autonomous Surface Vehicles (USV and ASV) supporting the US Navy as well as major marine electronic manufacturers (OEM) for recreational ADAS and autopilot applications. Whereas automotive automation like lane-keeping and driver assistance are becoming universal, the Marine environment poses unique challenges that are not yet solved. Tocaro Blue provides a rare opportunity for you to help define the autonomy roadmap for an entire industry. Your work will evolve from creating perception systems for situational awareness to developing obstacle avoidance systems, and ultimately full autonomous control systems for marine vessels.
What You'll Pioneer
  • Design multi-object tracking evaluation tools, and automatic tuning procedures, for maritime situational awareness
  • Contribute to real-time multi-sensor-multi-object fusion tracking algorithms
  • Create vessel motion models to enhance object tracking using parameter estimation
  • Design experiments to characterize the behavior of radars, cameras, and other perception sensors
  • Build test-fixtures and calibration scripts to determine intrinsic behavior of marine sensors
  • Assist with simulation of marine perception, tracking, and autonomy systems

Required Qualifications:
  • Advanced degree (MS) in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, or related technical field
  • 2+ years of hands-on experience applying parameter and state estimation, dead-reckoning and localization, and sensor fusion to dynamic systems (graduate research counts if directly applicable)
  • Proven track record through Master's thesis, dissertation, or commercial projects demonstrating mastery of both localization and target tracking.
  • C++ development backed by Python and/or MATLAB prototyping.

Preferred Expertise:
  • Experience working with kinematics, statistics, and state estimators
  • Experience implementing fusion and tracking models in C++ or python prototypes
  • Portfolio of personal projects or research solving complex real-world problems through software innovation
  • Examples of previous work in automotive or marine systems, robotics, or other autonomous vehicle development
  • Passion for pushing the boundaries of what's achievable with sensor fusion in challenging environments
  • Design-of-experiment for perception and fusion system testing and evaluation.

Why Tocaro Blue?
Competitive Compensation & Growth:
  • $110,000-$130,000 base salary with potential for equity in a rapidly growing company
  • Comprehensive benefits: 401(k) with 4% company matching, full health/dental/vision coverage, life and disability insurance, and generous PTO
  • Continuous learning through training programs and conference attendance

Innovation-First Culture:
  • Direct impact on defining the future of maritime autonomy
  • Access to challenging real-world problems that push the limits of current Marine Autonomy capabilities
  • Collaborative environment with top-tier engineers and researchers

Work Environment:
  • Engineering office in Birmingham, AL
  • Engaging fieldwork opportunities with monthly data collection trips to our Pensacola, Florida testing facility
  • Work-life balance that supports both innovation and personal growth
