• The Maritime Application Team sits at the tip of the spear, transforming core platform technology into mission-winning capabilities that deliver a decisive operational edge at sea
• We are a specialized software team embedded within the core Lattice Platform, uniquely positioned to accelerate the delivery of mission-critical capabilities for maritime platforms such as the Dive-LD, Dive-XL, Copperhead, and Seabed Sentry
• Our role is to take powerful platform primitives—like data management, mission autonomy, simulation, auth, and orchestration—and rapidly forge them into integrated, robust applications for autonomous maritime systems
• We act as an incubator for future platform features, ensuring that the solutions we build for today's contracts are the foundation for tomorrow's platform-wide advancements
• If you are passionate about building high-impact software that directly supports operators in the field while shaping a next-generation platform, this is your team
• As a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) on the Maritime Application Team, you are the guardian of quality for systems that operate in high-stakes environments
• Your mission is to ensure that the software controlling our autonomous maritime vehicles is relentlessly reliable
• You will go beyond traditional testing by designing and building sophisticated, automated frameworks that can validate complex, multi-system workflows
• You will be responsible for creating tests that span from the UI to the API, integrating with hardware-in-the-loop and advanced simulations to ensure our software works flawlessly, every time
• Design, develop, and maintain automated testing frameworks and infrastructure for the Maritime application stack
• Create and execute comprehensive test plans that cover UI, API, and system-level integration for complex maritime missions
• Build and manage simulation-based test environments to validate autonomous behaviors and edge cases that are difficult to replicate in the real world
• Collaborate with hardware teams to develop and utilize hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) testing capabilities
• Integrate automated testing into our CI/CD pipelines to ensure quality is built into every stage of the development lifecycle
• Triage failures, identify root causes, and work closely with software engineers to resolve defects
• Champion a culture of quality by defining quality metrics, reporting on test results, and advocating for testability in new feature development
