Robotic Hardware Engineer — Rapid Integration & Test
Department: Engineering
Location: Bari, Italy
Employment: Full-time
Work arrangement: On-site
About the role
Mirai is developing an AI-based autonomy platform for vessels under 100 feet. The technology combines robotics, sensor fusion, onboard AI and autonomous-navigation capabilities. The company is also developing Autonomous Surface Vehicles (ASVs) for exploration, utility and operational-support missions.
The position focuses on rapidly integrating and testing robotic systems. The engineer will integrate hardware and software on unmanned vehicles and work with multiple engineering disciplines to prototype, validate and improve complete autonomous systems, taking concepts through to reliable field-ready platforms.
The role combines robotics, AI/autonomy software, hardware integration and real-world testing of Mirai's autonomy stack on prototype platforms.
