In this role, you’ll develop cutting-edge estimation and navigation technology, transforming advanced algorithms into high-performance software that powers resilient autonomy in complex, real-world environments. What you'll do: - Research and develop state-of-the-art state estimation and navigation algorithms to enable resilient autonomy in challenging GPS-denied environments. - Design and deploy production-grade C++ software for embedded robotic systems operating in dynamic, real-world environments. - Build and maintain rigorous unit, integration, and system-level tests to ensure system robustness and safety. - Develop and enhance modeling, calibration, and simulation tools for inertial and vision-based navigation systems. - Contribute to roadmap planning, feature decomposition, and agile execution alongside a multidisciplinary team of autonomy engineers. - Continuously enhance performance analysis, benchmarking, and validation pipelines to drive rapid innovation and improvement. Required qualifications: - M.S. in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Computer Science, or a related field; minimum 2+ years of related professional work experience if you have an M.S. degree, or 0 years if you are a new Ph.D. graduate. - Professional proficiency in modern C++ (C++11 or newer) and strong object-oriented design skills. - Hands-on experience deploying low-latency C++ applications to embedded Linux platforms. - Professional experience designing and implementing state estimation algorithms (e.g., EKF, UKF, Particle Filters, graph-based optimization). - Familiarity with VIO, SLAM, or multi-sensor fusion frameworks (e.g., GTSAM, Ceres, OpenVINS). - Strong working knowledge of CI pipelines and automated testing frameworks for C++. - Ability to independently deploy high-reliability code suitable for real-world autonomous systems. - Familiarity with prototyping in Python or MATLAB is welcome, but this role demands professional C++ production deployment skills. Candidates whose primary experience is in MATLAB or Python are unlikely to find this position a good fit. Preferred qualifications: - Deep understanding of graph-based optimization for state estimation. - Experience developing vision-aided inertial navigation systems (VINS, VIO, Terrain Relative Navigation). - Experience with navigation sensor calibration (IMU, GPS, barometers, magnetometers, laser altimeters, cameras). - Experience in benchmarking and system validation for real-world navigation performance. #LD Full-time regular employee offer package: Pay within range listed + Bonus + Benefits + Equity Temporary employee offer package: Pay within range listed above + temporary benefits package (applicable after 60 days of employment) Salary compensation is influenced by a wide array of factors including but not limited to skill set, level of experience, licenses and certifications, and specific work location. All offers are contingent on a cleared background and possible reference check. Military fellows and part-time employees are not eligible for benefits. Please speak to your talent acquisition representative for more information.
