About the role
TL;DR
Develop perception and sensor fusion algorithms for a drone swarm.
- •We're looking for a Perception & Sensor Fusion Engineer to develop the algorithms that give the largest drone swarm in the world an accurate, shared picture of the battlespace.
- •This is a deep algorithm role for someone who lives in the details of detection, tracking, and estimation, and wants to see their work fly.
- •Key Responsibilities Train, tune, and test automatic target recognition and track management systems using the latest advancements in neural networks.
- •Develop multi-sensor fusion and state estimation algorithms (Kalman filters, particle filters, multi-target tracking) running onboard resource-constrained vehicles.
- •Design distributed fusion approaches that combine tracks across the swarm into a single coherent picture.
- •Rigorously characterize algorithm performance against real-world flight data and simulation.
- •Optimize models and estimators for real-time inference on edge compute.
- •Requirements MS or PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Applied Math, or related field, or equivalent depth of applied experience.
- •Demonstrated expertise in estimation theory and multi-target tracking (Kalman/particle filters, JPDA, MHT, random finite sets, or similar).
- •Hands-on deep learning experience (training, evaluation, and deployment of neural networks for detection or classification).
- •Strong programming skills in C++, Rust, Go, and/or Python.
- •Track record of taking algorithms from research to deployment on a real system.
