Control Systems Integration Engineer

A specialist engineering organisation operating at the cutting edge of advanced control and instrumentation platforms is looking to add a Control Systems Integration Engineer to its growing engineering function.

This is a hands-on role suited to an engineer who enjoys working close to hardware, software, and real-world systems, supporting the integration, configuration, testing, and deployment of complex control systems used in demanding operational environments.

The Role
Working as part of a multidisciplinary autonomy and control team, you'll support the integration of control software, sensors, and networking infrastructure across a range of autonomous platforms.
Key responsibilities will include:

• Supporting the integration of complex control system software, sensors, and external systems


• Diagnosing and resolving software, hardware, networking, and integration issues


• Monitoring systems to identify anomalies or failures and supporting automated recovery processes


• Installation, configuration, and maintenance of sensors, control hardware, and IP/Ethernet networks


• Investigating and resolving marine protocol issues


• Preparing, testing, calibrating, and validating control systems prior to deployment


• Supporting Windows and Linux-based systems in an engineering environment


• Maintaining documentation, configuration control, and version-controlled records


• Supporting system installation into new and existing autonomous platforms


• Liaising with internal engineering teams and external technology suppliers


• Contributing to the implementation of high-level autonomous behaviours using Python and/or C++

About You
You'll likely come from a systems integration, control systems, robotics, or advanced engineering background, with a practical, problem-solving mindset.
Essential experience:

• Hands-on systems or control integration experience


• Working with Linux-based systems


• Practical understanding of IP networking and fault-finding


• Exposure to marine, industrial, or embedded communication protocols (e.g.
  
  NMEA, CAN, Modbus)


• Experience using version control tools


• 
  

  Ability to read, understand, or work with Python and/or C++

  
  
  
  

Desirable (but not essential):

• Network debugging tools (e.g.
  
  Wireshark)


• MAVLink and/or PX4


• Embedded or real-time systems


• Electrical schematics and integration fault-finding


• Supporting trials, testing, or field deployments


• ROS / ROS2 and/or DDS-based systems

What's on Offer

• Opportunity to work on real autonomous platforms, not simulations


• Exposure to cutting-edge control, autonomy, and marine systems


• A technically varied, hands-on engineering role


• Collaborative engineering culture with genuine product ownership


• Competitive overall package aligned to experience, plus benefits
