SOFTWARE ENGINEER — SENSOR

A fast-growing startup is looking for a Software Developer

THE ROLE

We are looking for a Software Engineer to join MAGMA, our acoustic sensing project, and help build the

software that turns raw acoustic sensor data into reliable, actionable information — from data acquisition

all the way to real-time processing and visualization.

This is a hands-on role at the core of the acoustic sensing software stack. You will design and build

software against data captured in the lab, then take it out to real pool and sea trials to see how it holds up

against the unpredictability of the ocean — tuning, debugging, and hardening the system as you go. You

will work closely with the signal-processing and hardware teams to make sure the software you write is

not just correct on paper, but genuinely reliable in the field.

03 WHAT YOU’LL DO

– Develop and maintain software for acquiring, processing, and visualizing acoustic sensor data in real

time

– Build data pipelines that turn raw, high-throughput sensor streams into clean, structured data the

signal-processing team can act on

– Develop and test software against recorded and simulated data first, then refine and validate it through

pool and field trials

– Calibrate, monitor, and troubleshoot software in real time during sea trials, diagnosing issues as they

surface

– Work closely with the signal-processing and hardware teams on full-system integration, making sure

software, sensors, and algorithms come together cleanly

– Document testing results, findings, and design decisions clearly, so the whole team can build on your

work

04 REQUIREMENTS

Technical Background

– Experience developing software for sensor systems, data acquisition, or real-time processing pipelines

– Proficiency with Python and/or C++ on Linux

– Experience handling high-throughput or streaming data (e.g., time-series or multi-channel sensor data)

– Basic understanding of signal processing concepts (sampling, filtering, spectral analysis)

– Experience with Git or a similar version control system

– Willingness to work on-site to support field and sea testing

Additional Advantages

– Experience with acoustic, sonar, or other underwater sensing systems

– Experience with real-time or embedded software systems

– Familiarity with data visualization or monitoring/dashboarding tools
