About Albacore Inc.

Autonomous undersea vehicles to deter maritime invasions.

Tech description:

At Albacore, we’re building a new class of modular UUVs capable of long-range, long-duration autonomous missions in denied maritime environments. Hardware stack: Custom UUV design using SolidWorks and CFD tools In-house manufacturing and integration (3D printing, machining, soldering, etc.) Modular subsystems for propulsion, batteries, and comms Fieldable prototypes and test platforms Software stack: Autonomy stack built with Python, C++, and ROS2 Satellite and acoustic communication integration SLAM, navigation, and perception algorithms (with optional ML) Embedded systems development and mission programming UI Simulation and testing tools to validate mission behavior We’re solving meaningful challenges in additive manufacturing, hydrodynamics, autonomy, and communication. The work is hands-on, fast-moving and we value builders who are excited to work on complete solutions rather than small components.

Job description:

Albacore (YC S25) is hiring an entrepreneurial, creative, motivated electrical engineers to help us build a next-generation unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) that can deter island invasions.
