<div><h3 class="jobSectionHeader">Shape the Future of Autonomous Maritime Operations</h3>
The maritime industry is entering a new era. Autonomous vessels, remote operations, AI-driven decision-making and intelligent mission systems are transforming the way complex operations are performed at sea.
At Royal IHC, we are developing the next generation of autonomous maritime solutions for the defence, offshore, dredging and mining sectors. To help drive this transformation, we are looking for an experienced System Architect / Lead Engineer &ndash; Autonomous Maritime Systems.
This is a unique opportunity for a systems thinker who thrives at the intersection of technology, engineering and strategy. Someone who can connect software, autonomy, controls and physical systems into a coherent vision that delivers real-world operational value.<h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
The Opportunity</h2>
As System Architect / Lead Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in defining the architecture, technology roadmap and development strategy for future autonomous and semi-autonomous maritime platforms.
You will work directly with executive leadership, engineering teams, customers and technology partners to shape solutions that combine:<ul><li>
Autonomous vessels</li><li>
Remotely operated systems</li><li>
Mission management platforms</li><li>
AI and data-driven operational systems</li><li>
Sensor integration and perception technologies</li><li>
Deployment, support and operational infrastructure</li></ul>
This is not a traditional naval engineering role, nor is it purely software-focused. Instead, it requires someone who understands how complex machinery, intelligent software and operational requirements come together to create successful autonomous systems.<h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
What You Will Do</h2><ul><li><h3 class="jobSectionHeader">
Define the Future Architecture</h3></li></ul>
You will lead the development of high-level system architectures and technology roadmaps for autonomous maritime solutions. By translating strategic business opportunities into practical technical concepts, you will help guide investments and development priorities for years to come.<ul><li><h3 class="jobSectionHeader">
Bridge Engineering Disciplines</h3></li></ul>
You will connect software, control systems, electrical engineering, mechanical systems and operational technology into integrated solutions. Your ability to see the bigger picture while understanding technical detail will be critical in making complex systems work together.<ul><li><h3 class="jobSectionHeader">
Drive Innovation Through Partnerships</h3></li></ul>
Working with technology companies, suppliers, research institutes and customers, you will help evaluate emerging technologies and determine where we should build, buy or partner. You will play a key role in technical due diligence, strategic collaborations and product development initiatives.<ul><li><h3 class="jobSectionHeader">
Influence Business Strategy</h3></li></ul>
Beyond engineering, you will contribute to product portfolio development, business cases and long-term autonomy strategy. You understand how technical decisions translate into commercial value, competitive advantage and operational impact.<h2 class="jobSectionHeader">

Mission management systems</li><li>
Remote operations</li></ul></li><li>
The ability to work effectively across engineering disciplines</li><li>
Strong communication skills with both technical and executive stakeholders</li><li>
A pragmatic approach combined with deep technical curiosity</li></ul><h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
