Vision

Democratize Aquatic Data Collection

Mission

Providing the ultimate customer experience, with simplicity at the core of everything we do by creating safe, easy-to-use data collection and data visualization solutions (that keep operators out of harm’s way).

Respect: Treating others how they would like to be treated. Believing there is best intent in every action. Disagreeing but don’t being disagreeable. Leaving the planet a better place than you found it.

Integrity: Being honest and fair in all we do. Being accountable and holding others to account. See something unethical, say something. Knowing when to ask for help.

Customer Focus: Being customer experience led. Fostering collaboration. Delivering what you said you would. Communicating often and accurately. Delivering affordable value add products and services.

Innovation: Embracing failure and learning from it. Recognizing no idea is a bad idea. Welcoming the experiences and value people bring from different walks of life, cultures, and genders.

Simplicity: Creating intuitive, easy to use products and services. Making life at work as simple as possible for our team and partners.

Jaia Robotics is a multi-use aquatic drone and data solutions company that is aiming to disrupt the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) market by providing very low-cost, ultra-portable, high-speed aquatic drones that can be deployed in multi vehicle pods. The Jaia Bot aquatic drones can be used for point or wide area data collection and payload delivery. Their ultra portable design allows them to be launched from virtually anywhere, including surf zones, riverbanks, docks, or watercraft.

The Jaia Bot System is modular, enabling rapid integration of different sensors and payloads, making it highly adaptable for various applications such as Environmental Monitoring, Research, Offshore Renewables, Aquaculture, Defense, and Academia. The system offers significant cost savings and is scalable due to its low acquisition cost and minimal maintenance requirements.

As the Software Engineer at Jaia Robotics, you will help shape the intelligence that drives our fleet of autonomous marine vehicles. This role combines algorithm development, mission autonomy, communication middleware, and operator tooling to deliver robust performance from lake trials to open ocean deployments. You will collaborate with a passionate and highly capable engineering team that values initiative, curiosity, and practical problem solving.

Our culture is a can do will do approach to engineering challenges and your success requires always being willing to go the extra mile to achieve our goals. Being an effective communicator is essential for collaborating to ensure optimal solutions to solving design and operational product problems.
