Senior Perception Software Engineer - Navigation

Job Description

• Extract the maximum value from the observations of our GNSS hardware: integrating all the data available from our ground station network when available, but also building robust systems which handle extended communications outages without a large amount of drift • Design systems which deal with intermittent GNSS availability, ensuring our vehicle can make use of both GNSS and vision data while handling failures in either one at any time • Perform trade studies to understand the value of new sensors or processing approaches to vehicle performance and reliability • Analyze the performance of systems both in simulation and using data from vehicles operating in the field to find under-performing facets of the system and devise solutions which bring them up to speed • Participate in code review with a strong and capable team of engineers building highly reliable software in the Rust programming language

Qualifications

• A degree in physics or an engineering discipline • Experience with state estimation, probabilistic filtering, GNSS RTK, and raw measurements, IMU data, sensor modeling, and simulation • Understanding of calculus, linear algebra, non-linear optimization, and computational numerical methods • Experience in building high-performance software systems using compiled languages (C/C++/Rust/Ada/etc.) • The capability to solve complex problems with little supervision as part of an integrated team • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal
