About the job
Develop and deploy localization, navigation, and sensor-fusion software for autonomous platforms operating in environments where GPS and other sensors may be unreliable.
What you'll do
- Build vision navigation and targeting features from simulation through hardware-in-the-loop testing and flight using production C++.

- Optimize real-time embedded software and create evaluation pipelines for performance, reliability, and graceful degradation.
What they ask for
- Modern C++ on Linux and Python; strong debugging, profiling, and testing skills.
- Experience with SLAM/state estimation, including EKF/UKF, factor graphs, nonlinear least squares, observability, and covariance tuning.
- Vision and sensor-integration experience, including VIO/SLAM, IMU, GNSS/RTK, and sensors such as cameras, LiDAR, and radar.
- Proven research-to-production delivery and field testing on real platforms.
Nice to have
- CUDA/TensorRT/ONNX Runtime or NVIDIA Jetson; ROS 2 or PX4/ArduPilot.
- Experience with SQL/Parquet, contested or denied environments, Rust, or Docker.
