Senior Embedded Systems Engineer

Salary Competitive
Equity To be negotiated

Triton Depth is one of Europe's fast-growing venture-backed defence tech companies, building underwater surveillance sensors that monitor what moves through European waters. Our first units are in sea trials right now — real hardware, in real water, doing real work. We operate where hardware, software and brutal environments collide, and we're scaling the team with people who can keep up.

About the role

You'll own embedded systems end-to-end — electronics design, soldering iron in hand, all the way through to C++ on the device. Recent graduates, juniors and senior engineers: we don't care about your years, we care about your output. What we do care about is hunger — to learn, to build, to ship. We deploy new sensor versions into the sea multiple times a week. That's the loop. If you want to dedicate real time to real work on a team that iterates at that pace, this is the place.

We imagine that you:

•       Have experience with or a strong interest in C++ for embedded systems

•       Are comfortable using AI tools as part of your development process

•       Have a basic understanding of electronics and are not afraid of a soldering iron

•       Bonus points if you've built hardware that has survived a brutal environment — sea, space, vibration, heat, or anything similarly unforgiving

•       Can obtain security clearance

•       Are fluent in English — it's our working language

As a person, you are:

•       Curious and independent

•       Hard-working and adaptable

•       Ready to also take on the less glamorous tasks — because that's the reality in a company that builds real products

Practical

We're based in a great spot in Copenhagen — in person, together. We're a young team and we work hard. Your code and electronics end up underwater.

Working at
Triton Depth

Triton Depth is one of Europe's fastest-moving defence tech startups, building the acoustic intelligence layer for the seabed through hardware enabled software. Our nodes listen continuously to classify what moves through the water on-device. Divers, autonomous underwater vehicles, vessels behaving in ways they should not. They form a the tripwire, that warn operators in real time. The ocean is the last unmonitored domain. Ninety percent of global trade moves across it, and the cables, pipelines, and wind farms that Europe runs on sit in water nobody is listening to. Nord Stream. The Baltic cable cuts. Repeated incursions around critical infrastructure. The threats stopped being hypothetical a long time ago, and the cost of getting this wrong is not measured in euros. It is measured in cities that lose power, in naval crews who get no warning, in conflicts that escalate because nobody saw what was coming. Spun out of DTU. Backed by leading European defence and deep-tech investors. Working with navies, ports, and allied forces across the continent. The window for a small team to define this layer is open right now, and we are taking it. Join the mission.
