Our mission

Aquabyte is on a mission to revolutionize the sustainability and efficiency of aquaculture. It is an audacious, and incredibly rewarding mission. By making fish farming more efficient and viable, we aim to promote healthy (for the fish and environment) production of low carbon protein and mitigate one of the biggest causes of climate change. Aquaculture is the single fastest growing food-production sector in the world, and now is the time to define how technology is used to harvest the sea and preserve it for generations to come.

We are a diverse, mission-driven team that is eager to work alongside kindred spirits. If this vision inspires you please get in touch.

Our product

We are currently focused on helping salmon farmers better understand their fish population and make environmentally sound decisions. Through custom underwater cameras, computer vision, and machine learning we are able to quantify fish weights, detect the health status, and generate optimal feeding plans in real time. Our product operates at three levels: on-site hardware for image capture, cloud pipelines for data processing, and a user-facing web application. As a result, there are hundreds of moving pieces and no shortage of fascinating challenges across all levels of the stack.

Above all, Aquabyte is a customer-driven company. Our product development is dictated by the needs of fish farmers and we prioritize customer delight in everything we do. We are committed to building a global, collaborative team.

The role

As a Perception Engineer you will help develop and deploy next-generation sensing capabilities to fish farms across the world. While our current product utilizes underwater cameras and computer vision to quantify fish health and growth, we are expanding our sensor suite to create a comprehensive understanding of the underwater environment.

Signal Processing: Design and implement algorithms to process raw sensor data, correcting for environmental attenuation, noise, and physical constraints

Sensor Fusion & Calibration: Develop techniques to fuse multi-modal sensor streams and perform precise sensor calibration to ensure data alignment and accuracy across the hardware stack

3D Scene Reconstruction: Build pipelines that generate 3D representations of the environment from complex inputs

Feature Detection: Apply a combination of conventional and deep learning approaches to identify key features and objects within the sensor data

Production Engineering: Contribute to the production codebase, ensuring algorithms are scalable, robust, and well-tested in a primarily Python-based stack

Educational Background: BS/MS in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a relevant technical degree

Experience: 3+ years of experience in perception or signal processing

Technical Proficiency: Strong coding ability with a mastery of Python and experience with SQL

Domain Expertise: Demonstrated experience with sensor fusion, state estimation, or 3D computer vision (e.g., SLAM, structure-from-motion, or point cloud processing)

Engineering Best Practices: Strong software engineering skills, including knowledge of testing, version control, and deployment pipelines.

Experience processing underwater acoustics or sonar data

Familiarity with cloud data infrastructure (e.g., Snowflake, dbt, Airflow)

Experience with containerization (Docker) and cloud development (AWS).
