Senior Acoustic Signal Processing Engineer

About Vatn Systems:

Vatn Systems is an innovative startup at the forefront of designing and manufacturing autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). Our mission is to revolutionize underwater security, exploration, research, and operations through cutting-edge technology and unparalleled engineering. Our AUVs are defining the next generation of underwater autonomy

As a Senior Signal Processing Engineer, you will be a key technical contributor to the development of detection, classification, localization, and tracking (DCLT) algorithms for Vatn’s underwater acoustic sensors.

Responsibilities:

Algorithm development & refinement for forward looking sonar products

• System Hardening: Analyze real-world data to improve robustness against complex acoustic environments.
• Algorithms Improvement: Propose and implement improvements to the homing system and target management framework to increase mission reliability. Develop automated data analysis pipelines from data collect to metrics reporting
• DCLT Algorithm Implementation: Develop detection, classification, localization, and tracking algorithms

Implementation & Edge Optimization

• Edge Deployment: Translate high-level algorithm into prototypes into efficient, real-time code optimized for deployment on embedded edge-compute hardware.

Modeling & performance validation

• Support in-water development and in-water integration testing of the homing system
  • Work with key stakeholders - internal and external (government) - to translate mission CONOPS and requirements to robust testing programs to validate homing performance
• Develop detailed sonar equation models of active and passive acoustic devices and systems for internal/external project support.

Required:

• Secret Clearance
• Demonstrated knowledge of statistical signal processing, tracking algorithms, acoustic signal processing and machine learning
• Ability to analyze and deploy algorithms at the edge: embedded signal processing
• Matlab, Python, C/C++

Vatn is an equal opportunity employer, and we welcome candidates from all backgrounds to apply.
