MarineAI Ltd – (Junior) Python Software Engineer
Corporate Profile:
MarineAI is a multi-disciplined software engineering company who specialise in the design, development and maintenance of autonomous control systems which are deployed on surface/ sub-surface vehicles and equipment. MarineAI is currently looking for an Integration Engineer to focus on the growth of our work focused on marine autonomy and machine learning. MarineAI offers supplies its software in both the defence sector and a growing commercial market.
MarineAI offers a flat organizational structure with engineers owning their respective systems. The applicant will therefore be required to remain involved in a system from its creation all the way through to sea-trials and sign-off.
What You’ll Do:
Work closely with the company’s R&D team to actively progress internal Python projects which include but not limited to platform management, communications, machine perception, and payload management.
Be actively involved in the collection of real-world data in order to analyse the performance of new features/ software components. Data collection will include attending sea trials (limited to day operation) to ensure proper data collection and system function throughout the duration of the trial.
Write technical release documentation explaining procedures, functions as well as end-user operational manuals.
Write unit and integration testing of the work completed as it undergoes quality assurance.
Essential Experience:
Bachelor’s degree in mathematics, computer science, physics, or similar discipline.
Strong skills in Python along with general coding practices.
Strong understanding of software design methodologies and production environments
Keen interest in algorithms and a willingness to develop their skillset through mentoring, online courses, research papers.
Strong oral, written and interpersonal communication skills and an ability to work in a team environment. Must be detail-oriented and organized and be able to handle a variety of tasks in an efficient manner.
Desirable Experience:
2+ years of experience working in software development.
Interest in control system design.
Fluency with Linux and windows development environment and Docker containers.
Data science and data engineering skills. Machine learning.
Knowledge of maritime sensor systems like Radar, EO/ IR cameras, LiDAR, etc.
Interest in the maritime sector.
Benefits & Perks:
BUPA private healthcare post probation
25 + bank holidays based on full time employment
Compensation for traveling.
Other Considerations:
The candidate should be eligible to work permanently in the UK.
The role may require the candidate to be security cleared up to SC level.
The role may require short-term travel at times to the Europe, US, and Australia.
The role is 40 hours per week, flexible working between the hours of 8am and 7pm Monday to Friday and possible overtime. The role is subject to a 3-month probationary period.

CNI sites (such as energy plants, transport hubs, water facilities, and telecommunications networks) are vital to national security and economic stability.
Marine AI’s autonomous surveillance and patrol systems provide real-time perimeter security, advanced threat detection, and rapid response capabilities, ensuring the resilience and protection of these essential assets.
The global aquaculture industry is expanding rapidly, alongside the need for innovation to improve sustainability in seafood production.
Managing these operations requires constant data collection and optimised logistics. Uncrewed Surface Vessels (USVs) equipped with GuardianAI™ deliver continuous monitoring of fish farms, detecting anomalies in water quality, damage to enclosures and other security threats.
By integrating GuradianAI™, AI-powered decision making and intelligent navigation allows yacht crews to focus on guest experience and reduces their operational burden. Bringing autonomy into the leisure market enhances the safety, convenience and efficiency of vessels.
Existing yachts can be retrofitted with GuardianAI™ technology in a few days, integrating with existing fitted sensors and systems, providing cutting edge capabilities with minimal down time.
Autonomous technology enhances the efficiency, safety, and sustainability of both crewed and uncrewed ferries and cruise vessels. GuardianAI™ enables intelligent navigation, real-time risk assessment, and streamlined operations, increasing reliability and decreasing operational costs.
Operating in busy shipping lanes and congested waters demands constant vigilance. With GuardianAI™, crews can focus on passenger safety and service, confident in the knowledge that critical systems are working with them.
The future of commercial shipping lies in intelligent autonomy—optimising safety, efficiency, and sustainability across global trade routes. GuardianAI™ supports zero, partial or full autonomy; it can support crewed operations, providing optimised paths and advanced collision avoidance.
Remote monitoring and control allows vessels to be supervised remotely, via low-bandwidth communications ensuring seamless operations in all conditions.
Ocean exploration with GuardianAI™ allows for accurate and efficient hydrographic and scientific surveying. Autonomous surface vessels provide scalable, cost effective, and intelligent solutions for mapping the seabed, monitoring environmental conditions or conducting long-term research.
Multi-vessel coordination allows for swarm deployments, enhancing coverage and resolution for oceanographic research.
Offshore wind farms, oil rigs, and gas platforms all rely on safe, efficient and reliable vessel operations for support. With GuardianAI™, vessels can collect data, conduct maintenance inspections and enhance offshore logistics.
GuardianAI™ can operate at various levels of autonomy, supporting existing vessels by optimising routes and minimising downtime or pioneering a new generation of fully autonomous platforms.
GuardianAI™ enhances operational capability, resilience, and safety for defence platforms. Designed for both surface and subsurface vessels, GuardianAI™ leverages augmented situational awareness, tactical planning and autonomous mission execution in order to reduce risk and maximise success in constrained or high-threat environments.
Seamless integration with existing defence networks and protocols makes GuardianAI™ easily adaptable to where it’s deployed.
