Autonomy Test & Integration Engineer

About the role

Regent is scaling its innovative Seaglider transportation platform from prototype to full production. The Autonomy Test & Integration Engineer will move the perception system from the lab to real‑world ocean trials and build the test infrastructure that supports this transition.

Key responsibilities

• Plan, execute, and calibrate perception field tests on water, mounting cameras and radar on vessels and collecting data against live traffic.
• Develop and maintain replay and hardware‑in‑the‑loop tooling that enables bench‑side re‑runs of sea‑day data.
• Integrate software changes onto vehicle hardware, troubleshoot issues across platforms, and ensure reliable perception performance.
• Design autonomy test scenarios, review software changes, and support mission‑specific capability development for customers and U.S. defense.

Required profile

• Professional experience in robotics, autonomy, or perception software with hands‑on hardware‑in‑the‑loop or data‑replay work.
• Field deployment background, preferably sensor testing on boats or comparable surrogate vehicles.
• Ability to work collaboratively with perception, autonomy, test, operations, and mission software teams.

Required skills

• Strong C/C++ programming for real‑time or embedded systems.
• Proficiency in Python.
• Linux system administration.
• Experience with sensor calibration, data‑replay, and hardware‑in‑the‑loop setups.
