Tethys Robotics AG is an ETH Zürich spin-off specializing in underwater robotics for subsea inspection and investigation. The company develops robotic platforms for governmental and industrial clients operating in mission-critical environments. As a UI Software Engineer, you will focus on building and integrating complex user interface modules that connect disparate data streams from robotic systems. Your day-to-day responsibilities will involve implementing real-time data visualizations, designing core user interactions for web and robotic applications, and translating user requirements into functional design inputs. You will work closely with the development team to refine interaction layers and perform functional verification tests to ensure system reliability. This role is well-suited for a candidate with a background in computer science or human-computer interaction who possesses strong proficiency in Unity or TypeScript frameworks. The ideal applicant is comfortable working in a cross-functional, high-performance environment and has a demonstrated ability to translate abstract technical requirements into production-ready code. Experience with robotics middleware, real-time sensor data, or high-performance rendering is highly valued for this position.
