Responsibilities

  • Design real-time state estimation pipelines for vehicle velocity, angular velocity, and position.
  • Fuse LiDAR, IMU, GNSS, radar, and wheel odometry data using probabilistic estimation frameworks.
  • Implement and maintain filter-based and optimization-based estimators, including EKF, UKF, and factor-graph methods.
  • Integrate estimation modules with robotics stacks and validate performance through simulation, log analysis, and real-world testing.
  • Diagnose estimation failures and reason about system-level robotics behavior.

Requirements

  • Hands-on experience implementing robotics state estimation algorithms such as Kalman filters, optimization-based estimators, or particle filters.
  • Experience estimating vehicle motion by fusing data from multiple robotic sensors.
  • Strong programming skills in C++ and/or Python, ideally in ROS or ROS2 environments.
  • Strong analytical and debugging skills.
  • Experience in autonomous vehicles, robotics, or off-road systems is preferred.
  • Knowledge of SLAM, localization, or factor-graph frameworks such as GTSAM or Ceres is preferred.
  • Understanding of vehicle dynamics and control integration is preferred.
  • Experience validating robotics systems through simulation and field testing is preferred.

Benefits

  • Attractive compensation package and stock options.
  • Assistance with relocation to Berlin.
  • Beverages on-site and regular social events.
  • Opportunity to work with top-tier researchers, engineers, and thought leaders.
  • Opportunity to shape physical AI and robotics for heavy off-highway machinery.
  • Career paths toward technical specialization or technical team leadership.
