• →Deliver integrated concept demonstrations for USV workflows such as mission planning, integrating sensors, route execution monitoring, geofencing, vehicle status/health, and operator oversight.

• Implement or integrate real-time interfaces (REST/WebSockets/streaming, pub/sub) to support high-rate telemetry and event-driven updates.

• Work across containerized and orchestrated deployments: Docker, Docker Compose, Kubernetes.
• Integrate with and troubleshoot distributed messaging architectures common in autonomy stacks (e.g., Redis, DDS, pub/sub, streaming pipelines).
• Diagnose cross-service issues: networking, service discovery, QoS/config mismatches, environment variables, build/run drift, and runtime logs.

• Add pragmatic test coverage (unit tests for core logic; smoke/e2e tests for mission flows) to keep concepts demo-ready.
• Produce clear runbooks for “push-button” demos: environment setup, data sources, simulation configuration, and troubleshooting.
• Performs other duties as assigned.
