Robotics Engineer Full Time

Robotics Engineer 1 (Co-op │ Intern | Early Career)

Tario Marine Technologies is a Toronto-based startup developing autonomous surface vessels for water sports, coastal monitoring, and search & rescue. Our goal: bring intelligent, AI-powered marine technology to Canada’s 243,000 km of coastline — and beyond.

 WHAT YOU’LL DO

 • Build hardware prototypes — integrate GPS receivers, radio modules, thrusters, cameras, and IMU sensors into waterproof marine platforms

 • Write Python control systems for autonomous navigation, station-keeping (PID control), and sensor fusion

 • Test on the water — weekly deployments at on Lake Ontario

 • Work with AI tools daily — Claude Code / Codex Agents, and simulation environments are standard parts of the workflow

 • Own systems end-to-end — from wiring power systems to tuning control algorithms to analyzing telemetry data

 WHAT YOU BRING

 Required:

 • Strong Python (asyncio a plus)

 • Comfortable with electronics: power wiring (12V DC), serial protocols (UART, I2C, USB), sensor integration

 • GPS, IMU, or similar sensor experience

 • Control systems fundamentals — PID, state estimation

 • macOS or Linux command line

 • Self-directed problem solver

 Bonus:

 • ROS 2 experience

 • OpenCV or computer vision

 • LoRa, mesh networking, or RF communication

 • 3D printing / CAD (Onshape, Fusion 360)

 • Marine or sailing experience

 • Embedded systems (ARM, RTOS, Nordic nRF)

 WHY THIS IS DIFFERENT

 • AI-first engineering — every engineer works alongside AI tools

 • Full-stack hardware — you’ll solder, wire, waterproof, and deploy real systems

 • Zero to water in one summer — your work will be floating on Lake Ontario

 • Founder-direct — work directly with the founder, no management layers

 • Toronto waterfront — testing in GTA on Lake Ontario. Beats a cubicle.

 DETAILS

 • Term: Summer 2026 (May–September, flexible) – (Full Time Long Term Positions also available)

 • Type: Co-op, internship, or short-term contract

 • Location: Toronto, ON — hybrid

 • Compensation: Competitive hourly rate
