Senior Software Engineer, Robotics Tracking and Fusion
Description:
- Define and influence the direction of a small team using subject-matter expertise in target tracking and state estimation.
- Prototype and deploy algorithms for tracking, multi-sensor data fusion, and state estimation in agile, iterative development environments.
- Develop high-performance software for real-time systems, including tactical applications, simulation environments, and decision support tools.
- Design and implement filters, estimators, and probabilistic reasoning systems that extract insights from noisy, ambiguous, or incomplete sensor data.
- Analyze system performance using high-fidelity simulations, modeling tools, and statistical techniques to validate technology impact.
- Customize algorithms and software for mission-critical customer use cases, including real-time tracking and sensor fusion.
- Integrate tracking and estimation capabilities across the software development lifecycle from requirements through testing and optimization.
- Translate technical progress into clear, actionable insights for colleagues and end users.
Requirements:
- Proficiency in algorithm design, software development, and statistical modeling.
- Programming experience with C/C++, Python, and Matlab.
