About Cathx Ocean
Cathx Ocean are world leaders in Underwater Optical Imaging systems for machine learning. The company has developed the world’s first built for purpose Subsea Imaging system, resolving most of the technical constraints with optical imaging underwater. These systems allow data to be collected in one tenth of the time taken with traditional imaging systems and also provide the data on which the Cathx Machine Learning platform will be built. We are now planning to build and release a full suite of subsea applications and technologies to deliver efficiency and precision to a range of underwater operations.
Our customers operate in a diverse number of markets including Offshore Oil and Gas, Subsea Cables, Renewable energy, Deep water search and Salvage, Oceanographic research, Environmental monitoring and Subsea Archaeology. We are changing how they see underwater and how image and measurement data can be converted to reliable and actionable information.
We are currently seeking a Software Development Manager to join the company. This role will focus on delivery of our software roadmap which is revolutionising the collection and processing of subsea image and measurement data. The successful applicant will be responsible for managing and growing and talented team of software engineers that form a part of a multi-disciplinary engineering team.
Data collected with Cathx subsea imaging products form the basis of an advanced subsea machine vision and machine learning system that has been in development for five years.
Reporting:
This role will report to the CTO and will be based in our Dublin office at DCU Alpha in Glasnevin Dublin 9.
Our software development areas
Cathx systems are deployed globally on Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) and Remotely Operated Vehicles(ROV) in a range of subsea applications.
