Workplace: Onsite
Employment Type: Full time
Job Function: Software Engineering

Key Responsibilities

  • •Prototype and productionize vision navigation and targeting features end-to-end from sim to HITL to flight with production C++.
  • •Turn detections (EO/IR/RF/radar) into well-posed measurement models with latencies/covariances; make the estimator decision‑aware without corrupting state.
  • •Stabilize GNSS to VIO handover (adaptive covariances, gating, hysteresis, reset‑less alignment) to eliminate jumps and estimator resets.
  • •Build and optimize real-time software on Linux/embedded; profile CPU/GPU, vectorize hot paths; optional CUDA/TensorRT on Jetson hardware.
  • •Own calibration and time-sync across IMU/cameras/radar/LiDAR/GNSS; validate in flight.
