Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, C/C++, or Java is essential, along with a strong understanding of networking principles and protocols.

At Saronic, you'll be part of a team that's pushing the boundaries of autonomous technology in the maritime domain. This role offers the chance to work with cutting-edge technology, solve complex challenges, and make a significant impact on national defense capabilities. If you're passionate about technology, thrive in dynamic environments, and are excited about the prospect of extensive travel (up to 50%) to domestic deployment sites, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.
