Tritanium Space Defence & Technology are looking for a Systems Engineer (Networking & Communications) to design, build, and support the communication networks that power USV and AUV platforms.
This role blends systems thinking, hands‑on engineering, and real‑world deployment that is perfect for someone who loves making complex systems work reliably in challenging marine environments.
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll be responsible for ensuring secure, high‑performance data flow between autonomous vessels, motherships, remote operators, cloud services, and onboard sensors.
The role combines:
- Systems engineering – requirements, architecture, integration
- Network & communications engineering – routing, RF, radios, protocols, data links
- Hands‑on testing & field work – lab setups, bench testing, sea trials
This is a role for someone who enjoys building real systems, configuring hardware, solving problems in the field, and making networks behave exactly as intended.
Key Responsibilities
Network & Communications Architecture
- Design and document end‑to‑end comms architectures for USVs and AUVs (radio, satellite, cellular, mesh, Wi‑Fi, acoustic).
- Develop routing strategies, link redundancy, failover paths, and network configurations.
- Define and maintain IP schemes, VLANs, firewall rules, QoS, bandwidth allocation, and encryption.
Integration & Testing
- Configure and integrate routers, switches, modems, radios, antennas, cloud‑hosted routers, and onboard compute.
- Conduct bench tests, HIL setups, and performance diagnostics (latency, throughput, RF quality).
- Support sea trials to validate real‑world communications performance.
