Manager- Autonomous Systems

Designation: Manager - Autonomous Software

Function - Autonomous Systems / Robotics Software

Reporting to - DGM - Autonomous Systems

Key Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end autonomous software workstream, from requirements decomposition and architecture through implementation, integration, verification, field trials and release.

• Define modular software architecture for mission planning, behaviour management, path planning, collision and obstacle avoidance, localisation, perception, health monitoring, failsafe handling and operator interaction.

• Lead development using ROS/ROS2, C++ and suitable middleware; establish coding standards, interfaces, reusable components, configuration management and documentation practices.

• Guide the design and tuning of behaviour trees, planners, navigation stacks, costmaps, map servers and decision logic for complex and degraded operating environments.

• Integrate inputs from INS, DVL, GNSS, depth sensors, cameras, imaging sonar, obstacle-avoidance sonar and other payloads through robust sensor-fusion and state-estimation interfaces.
