A specialist engineering organisation operating at the cutting edge of advanced control and instrumentation platforms is looking to add a Control Systems Integration Engineer to its growing engineering function. This is a hands-on role suited to an engineer who enjoys working close to hardware, software, and real-world systems, supporting the integration, configuration, testing, and deployment of complex control systems used in demanding operational environments. The Role Working as part of a multidisciplinary autonomy and control team, you’ll support the integration of control software, sensors, and networking infrastructure across a range of autonomous platforms. Key responsibilities will include: • Supporting the integration of complex control system software, sensors, and external systems, • Diagnosing and resolving software, hardware, networking, and integration issues, • Monitoring systems to identify anomalies or failures and supporting automated recovery processes, • Installation, configuration, and maintenance of sensors, control hardware, and IP/Ethernet networks, • Investigating and resolving marine protocol issues, • Preparing, testing, calibrating, and validating control systems prior to deployment, • Supporting Windows and Linux-based systems in an engineering environment, • Maintaining documentation, configuration control, and version-controlled records, • Supporting system installation into new and existing autonomous platforms, • Liaising with internal engineering teams and external technology suppliers, • Contributing to the implementation of high-level autonomous behaviours using Python and/or C++ About You You’ll likely come from a systems integration, control systems, robotics, or advanced engineering background, with a practical, problem-solving mindset. Essential experience: • Hands-on systems or control integration experience, • Working with Linux-based systems, • Practical understanding of IP networking and fault-finding, • Exposure to marine, industrial, or embedded communication protocols (e.g. NMEA, CAN, Modbus), • Experience using version control tools, • Network debugging tools (e.g. Wireshark), • MAVLink and/or PX4, • Embedded or real-time systems, • Electrical schematics and integration fault-finding, • Supporting trials, testing, or field deployments, • ROS / ROS2 and/or DDS-based systems What’s on Offer • Opportunity to work on real autonomous platforms, not simulations, • Exposure to cutting-edge control, autonomy, and marine systems, • A technically varied, hands-on engineering role, • Collaborative engineering culture with genuine product ownership, • Competitive overall package aligned to experience, plus benefits Apply This role is being handled by a specialist engineering recruitment partner.
