Company Description
Samudra Oceans builds autonomous ocean intelligence systems for ports, harbors, and coastal infrastructure. The company’s platform combines marine robotics, edge sensors, and AI analytics to deliver continuous, real-time environmental intelligence that goes beyond legacy monitoring approaches. Its flagship product, NIRA, provides 24/7 autonomous monitoring, detecting pollution events, predicting compliance risks, and generating audit-ready reports aligned with EU and national environmental standards. Samudra Oceans serves port authorities, terminal operators, EIA consultancies, and ESG teams seeking to move from retrospective reporting to real-time awareness. Rooted in the idea that the ocean should be measured rather than guessed at, Samudra Oceans operates at the intersection of BlueTech, AI, and marine sustainability.
Role Description
The Head of Marine Hardware Engineering is a full-time, on-site role based in London. This position leads the design, development, and integration of marine robotics and sensing hardware for Samudra Oceans’ autonomous ocean intelligence systems. Day-to-day responsibilities include:
