Resolute Autonomy

Careers

A small team building autonomous systems

Resolute Autonomy designs and builds uncrewed vessels and ground vehicles, and the command software and onboard autonomy kit that control them. Our first vessel, Eureka, is in commissioning trials. A ground vehicle and the autonomy kit are in development, and two more vessel classes are in design. We integrate the electronics, sensors and software in-house. We are a qualified supplier under Canada’s Defence Drone Initiative Marketplace.

Roles are full-time and based in Carleton Place, Ontario, with regular test days at our 18-acre waterfront test site on Clayton Lake. Salaries are listed below. All roles require eligibility to work in Canada and for Government of Canada security screening. To apply, write to jobs@resoluteautonomy.ca.

Junior Mechanical Engineer

Full-time, on-site · $60,000 to $75,000

The role covers mechanical work on our vessels: sensor masts and mounts, transducer installations, waterproof enclosures and cable penetrations, battery and solar mounting, deck hardware, and the fixtures that make assembly repeatable. You will take parts from CAD through fabrication with our fabricators, install them on the boat, and be there for on-water testing. As the ground-vehicle prototype starts, you will work on its chassis and mounts too. You will work directly with the founder.

What we need:

  • A degree or diploma in mechanical engineering or a related field
  • Solid CAD skills: 3D modelling and drawings that can be built from
  • Comfort in a workshop: hand and power tools, measuring, fitting, fixing
  • Basic engineering judgment: loads, fasteners, materials, corrosion
  • A driver’s licence; test days are at a rural lakeside site
  • Eligibility to work in Canada and for Government of Canada security screening

What helps: boats or time on the water; welding or machining; electronics assembly (soldering, cable looms, connectors); marine hardware or off-road/robotics experience.

What you get: $60,000 to $75,000 depending on experience, three weeks of vacation, a health spending account and test days at the lake.

To apply, send a resume and, if you have one, a photo or drawing of something you built to jobs@resoluteautonomy.ca.

Software Engineer, Autonomy and Sensor Fusion

Full-time, on-site · $85,000 to $110,000

The role covers fusion and tracking on live radar, AIS and camera data; detection pipelines for camera and thermal imagery; path planning through hazard fields; integration with Pixhawk/ArduPilot over MAVLink; and the test suites behind it. Your code runs on our vessels, and you will be at the lake for testing. You will work directly with the founder, who wrote the existing stack.

What we need:

  • Strong Python with good engineering habits: tests, version control and small commits
  • Grounding in at least one of: state estimation and tracking (Kalman and particle filters, data association), computer vision and learned detection, or motion and path planning
  • Comfort working close to hardware: serial buses, network protocols, timestamps, latency, and imperfect sensor data
  • Care with measurement: we publish performance figures only after testing against ground truth
  • A driver’s licence; test days are at a rural lakeside site
  • Eligibility to work in Canada and for Government of Canada security screening

What helps: ArduPilot/MAVLink or ROS experience; radar or sonar processing; C++ or CUDA; TensorRT or edge inference; marine, aerospace or robotics background; time on the water.

What you get: $85,000 to $110,000 depending on experience, three weeks of vacation, a health spending account, a modern, tested codebase, and real-world problem solving across Canadian geography, including GNSS-denied navigation and multi-vessel autonomy.

To apply, send a resume and a link to something you built (a repo, a project write-up, a video of a robot you programmed) to jobs@resoluteautonomy.ca.

Fabricator / Electronics Technician

As build volume grows we will hire a fabricator or electronics technician: cable looms, enclosure fit-out, sensor installation, bench testing. If that is you, write to jobs@resoluteautonomy.ca now and we will keep your resume for when the role opens.
