As a Senior Robotics Software Engineer, Sensor Fusion on the Air Dominance & Strike team, you will develop onboard software for unmanned vehicles to enable real-time perception and collaboration. You will be responsible for writing algorithms that ingest raw data from multiple sensors like radar and optical systems to create accurate world models through sensor fusion and state estimation. Your daily work involves building protocols for collaborative autonomy, allowing robot swarms to share tracking data and coordinate search patterns. You will develop highly optimized, low-latency code running on Linux-based compute modules. The role requires proficiency in C++, Rust, and Python, along with experience using Nix for deterministic builds. Key technical competencies include Kalman filtering, localization, and hardware integration via I2C, SPI, CAN, and Ethernet to solve complex tracking and fusion challenges in a multi-domain environment.
