About Vatn Systems:

Vatn Systems is a startup building affordable autonomous underwater vehicles that act in cooperative swarms, enabling a multitude of new use cases. At the core of Vatn's R&D efforts is advanced navigation software that is effective in GPS, vision, and comms compromised environments while reducing hardware costs.

The Role:

We are seeking an Undersea Acoustics Engineering Intern to join our team developing, integrating and testing SONAR and undersea acoustic systems for our AUV’s. We expect you’ll be contributing to sonar signal processing algorithm development, undersea acoustic data collection and analysis, sonar hardware configuration/testing and at-sea experiments with our vehicles. Additionally, you will work cross functional with software autonomy, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and GNC teams. If you have broad and interdisciplinary technical interests, this could be a good role for you.

Requirements:

• Pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Physics or related STEM field.
• Python or MATLAB programming experience developing algorithms
• Knowledge of digital signal processing
• Completed a courses in Linear Algebra and Multivariable Calculus
• Knowledge of basic electrical test equipment and mechanical hand tools
• Ability to work independently and collaborate in a fast-paced R&D environment

These things would be a plus:

• Knowledge of undersea acoustics fundamentals
• Knowledge of robotics fundamentals
• Completed a course in Applied Probability and/or Estimation Theory
• Embedded programming experience
• ROS development experience
• C++ development experience
• Knowledge of machine learning fundamentals and development frameworks

Vatn is an equal opportunity employer, and we welcome candidates from all backgrounds to apply. We look forward to reviewing your application and potentially having you join our team in shaping the future of autonomous underwater vehicles.
