Connecting top talent within Space, Aerospace, Defense & Deeptech

Join a Pioneering R&D Team in Advanced Sensor Fusion

Our client is a leader in next-generation navigation solutions, driving cutting-edge research in sensor fusion, state estimation, and vision-based navigation. With a focus on innovation, our client is developing breakthrough technologies for aerospace, defense, robotics, and autonomous systems. This is an opportunity to be part of a small, elite R&D team where your work directly influences the future of precision navigation.

About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Multi-Sensor Fusion Engineer to spearhead the research and development of advanced sensor fusion algorithms. This role is ideal for a self-sufficient engineer with a passion for deep technical challenges in navigation. You'll work on high-impact R&D projects, transforming concepts into working prototypes and commercial products. As technologies evolve, you'll also have the opportunity to build and lead a specialized team in your area of expertise.

Key Responsibilities

1. Develop and refine state estimation and sensor fusion algorithms for next-generation navigation systems.
2. Design tightly-coupled multi-sensor fusion solutions integrating GNSS, visual navigation, and ranging technologies.
3. Conduct high-fidelity simulations and algorithm testing using MATLAB and Python.
4. Explore advanced vision-based navigation techniques, including feature matching, optical flow, and map-based localization.
5. Collaborate with a world-class R&D team to transition research breakthroughs into real-world applications.
6. Potentially lead a specialized team as projects mature and expand into production.

What We’re Looking For

1. 10+ years of experience in multi-sensor fusion & state estimation, or 5+ years with a strong background in vision-based navigation.
2. Expertise in tightly-coupled sensor fusion techniques and sensor modeling.
3. Strong hands-on experience in MATLAB and Python for simulation and algorithm development.
4. Knowledge of vision-based navigation methods such as SLAM, feature tracking, and optical flow.

This is a rare opportunity to drive innovation in precision navigation within an agile, research-driven environment. If you’re excited about shaping the future of sensor fusion, we’d love to hear from you!
