- Expertise in state estimation theory and applications, including Kalman filters, particle filters, factor graphs, and nonlinear optimization techniques.
- Deep understanding of inertial navigation, including sensor modeling, IMU error characterization, calibration, and multi-sensor fusion with GNSS and other aiding sensors.
- Strong C++ skills and ability to write high-quality production-level code.
- Preferred experience in autonomous vehicles, especially inertial navigation, localization, perception, or sensor fusion.
- Preferred experience with computer vision, visual inertial odometry, SLAM, ICP, or other sensor modalities.
- Preferred experience developing and using tools for large-scale data analysis and visualization with SQL, Python, NumPy, Pandas, or Matplotlib.
- Preferred familiarity with machine learning techniques applied to sensor fusion, sensor calibration, or positioning.
Benefits
- Full-time position with eligibility for a discretionary annual bonus program, equity incentive plan, and company benefits program, subject to eligibility requirements.
- Remote work may be possible depending on the role and location.
