Your role in the team
- At ARX Robotics, you will help advance the autonomy stack of next-generation unmanned ground vehicles. As a Staff Engineer - Sensor Fusion & Localization, you will develop core state estimation and sensor fusion systems that enable robots to understand their position and motion in complex, GPS-denied environments.
- You will work across autonomy, perception, hardware, and software teams to integrate advanced algorithms into a cohesive and reliable platform for real-world deployment. Your contributions will directly influence how autonomous and teleoperated systems operate in demanding field conditions where precision, robustness, and low latency are critical.
- Develop advanced sensor fusion and state estimation algorithms for robust localization in GPS-denied environments.
- Implement and improve methods such as EKF, UKF, particle filters, and nonlinear observers for state estimation and factor graph-based SLAM methods.
- Fuse and synchronize data from cameras, LiDAR, radar, IMUs, GNSS, magnetometers, and barometers into reliable real-time state estimates.
- Design low-latency, real-time processing pipelines for autonomous robotic systems.
- Build and refine localization performance through simulation, controlled testing, and real-world validation under degraded sensing conditions.
- Collaborate closely with hardware and software teams to ensure accurate calibration, synchronization, and system integration.
- Prototype, evaluate, and deploy new multi-sensor fusion and estimation approaches.
- Debug and resolve complex issues across sensor data, calibration, and estimation pipelines.
- Contribute to resilient GPS-denied navigation capabilities for autonomous ground vehicles.
