About Aquatic
Aquatic's mission is to reveal the invisible throughout the world's waters.
Based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Aquatic is combining cutting-edge semiconductor technology, transformative ocean science, and modern fabrication approaches to create globally-scalable tools for tracking carbon, nutrients, and biodiversity throughout the world’s oceans, lakes and streams – tools that are essential for a host of global industries, from regulatory compliance to monitoring biodiversity to verifying marine carbon sequestration.
Job Description
Aquatic is seeking a highly motivated and technically sophisticated Software Engineer. This engineer will play a central role in the design and development of our core technology stack, from embedded systems integrating sensors (chemical, physical, biological), data logging, compute, communication, and routing layers, to the data pipeline and user interfaces that turn measured values into actionable insights. They will also play a key role in the design of abstraction layers and specified interfaces that will have industry-scale impact. The work will require expertise with a wide array of languages (eg C, C++, VHDL, Python, HTML, etc) hardware (MCUs/GPUs/FPGAs) and the cloud, as well as collaboration on the development of electronic designs (including everything from embedded systems to analog front ends for sensor development) and associated firmware and software development. The position may involve field deployments / expeditions to support data collection and testing, as well as post-processing and analysis.
The internal working title for this position is Senior Software Engineer, but the final level of the position will be determined by the selected candidate’s level of experience, expertise, and ambition. We have multiple open positions, so interested applicants at a variety of levels are encouraged to apply.
Our highly collaborative team is based at our facility in Central Square, Cambridge, MA. While everyone on the team is welcome to work remotely from time to time as convenient, the expectation is that this role will be largely in-person and on-site.
Essential Functions
In this position you will imagine, develop, iterate, and commercially deploy the firmware and software driving innovative embedded systems and data pipelines tackling some of the thorniest problems in the ocean. This position requires a strong engineering background, meticulous work habits, strong interpersonal skills, curiosity, creativity, self-motivation and professionalism.
