Underwater acoustic comms and positioning for subsea robotics
EvoLogics manufactures underwater acoustic communication and positioning systems for deep-water exploration and offshore operations, built on proprietary S2C (Sweep Spread Carrier) technology. The tech stack reflects a hardware-first engineering organization: Rust, C/C++, Embedded Linux, and low-level protocols (CAN, RS-485, UART) dominate, paired with Altium for PCB design and ROS/ROS 2 for robotic control. Active hiring is concentrated in engineering (23 open roles), with accelerating velocity and a materials-constrained supply chain—suggesting the company is scaling production capacity while managing component shortages common to defense and offshore sectors.
EvoLogics GmbH, founded in 2000 and headquartered in Berlin, designs and manufactures underwater communication, positioning, and navigation systems for subsea robotics, deep-water exploration, and offshore energy production. The company's core technology, S2C, enables bidirectional acoustic data links and positioning in environments where traditional RF fails. Products serve maritime and offshore industries with applications in unmanned underwater vehicle (AUV/UUV) operation, sensor data retrieval, and subsea robot control. The 51–200-person organization operates as a self-owned, vertically integrated manufacturer: they design electronics (Altium-based), develop embedded firmware and robotics software (Rust, C++, ROS), manage supply chain and manufacturing, and maintain direct sales relationships with large industrial and government customers.
Rust, C/C++, Embedded Linux, Altium for PCB design, Java/Quarkus for backend services, ROS/ROS 2 for robotics, and low-level protocols: CAN, RS-485, UART, TCP/IP. Also uses Salesforce, SAP, and Odoo for operations and customer management.
Core projects include AUV electronics design, sensor integration for subsea systems, the ASD-S2000M data delivery platform, field testing and data science, rapid prototyping, and warehouse/supply-chain optimization. Customer-specific account strategies and infrastructure protection are also active tracks.
