About the Team
Saab Inc.'s Autonomous and Undersea Systems (AUS) division is a world-class team recognized for its technical accomplishments and vision in the maritime and defense sectors. Empowered by talented engineers, the team pushes the boundaries of technology to create safer and more sustainable solutions for unmanned maritime systems. As a federal government contractor, Saab helps nations keep their people and society safe by delivering advanced technology to the U.S. Armed Forces, the Federal Aviation Administration, and international partners.
About the Role
We are seeking an innovative Senior Software Engineer to join technical teams defining, architecting, and delivering software for autonomous Unmanned Surface/Underwater Vehicles (USVs/UUVs/AUVs) and Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs). This role is designed for a key contributor who wants to see the full lifecycle of their work, from design and prototyping to integration, verification, and delivery.

You will solve difficult problems to expand our portfolio of products and capabilities, gaining tremendous experience with unmanned maritime software. The position offers a business casual atmosphere with a focus on professional growth, work-life balance, and the chance to lead a rewarding life beyond work.
