Stage - Robotics and Control System Engineer
Join Saipem and engineer a sustainable future. We are a global leader in engineering and construction for the energy and infrastructure sectors, delivering complex onshore and offshore projects worldwide. Driven by technological innovation as “One Company”, our 30,000 people from over 130 nationalities in more than 50 countries work every day to enable the energy transition toward Net Zero. At Saipem, your expertise helps shape the future globally for environmental sustainability.
Purpose of the position: As Robotics and Automation Engineer you will be part of the SONSCOS Business line. You will be involved in the team for the development of our hardware and software stack for our Autonomous Underwater Vehicles. In this role, you aren’t just “making a motor spin”—you are architecting the complex logic, perception, and decision‑making engines that define our drones’ behavior. We treat each of our drones as a high‑performance distributed system, and we need someone who prioritizes code quality, system stability,



system architecture and software/hardware design and integration.
How can you support us?
- System Architecture: Design and maintain scalable architectures using our custom distributed middleware, ensuring seamless communication between high‑level autonomy and low‑level execution.
- Algorithm Development: Implement and optimize algorithms mainly in C++ and potentially with Python (for example path planning, localization, state estimation, navigation, computer vision, manipulation, neural networks etc.).
- Modern DevOps: Be involved and implement robust software practices in robotics, including containerization ( Docker ), automated testing, and CI/CD pipelines for AI integration and hardware‑in‑the‑loop, code quality prioritization.
- Simulation & Virtualization: Build sophisticated simulation environments to stress‑test software logic without needing a physical robot on your desk every day.
- Hardware Bridge: While
