Job Title: Engineer
Job Description
We are seeking a skilled engineer to develop and refine PC-based localization algorithms using advanced probabilistic techniques. This role involves implementing sensor fusion strategies, designing simulations to test algorithms, and leveraging programming languages such as Python, C++, C#, or MATLAB to optimize and prototype algorithms. The successful candidate will collaborate with cross-functional teams to enhance the performance of location tracking systems.
Responsibilities
- Develop and refine PC-based localization algorithms using particle filters and other probabilistic techniques.
- Implement sensor fusion strategies that integrate data from IMUs, wireless signals, and other external sources to enhance position accuracy.
- Design simulations to test and validate algorithms under diverse real-world conditions such as multipath, noise, and varying environments.
- Prototype and optimize algorithms using Python, C++, C#, or MATLAB before porting them to production software.
- Conduct thorough performance evaluations of localization algorithms to identify bottlenecks and implement data-driven optimizations.
- Collaborate with embedded, FPGA, and RF teams to improve the performance of the location tracking system.
- Stay current with the latest academic and industry research in probabilistic localization, sensor fusion, and state estimation.
- Rapidly prototype novel concepts and iterate on algorithm design to achieve production-level stability and robustness.
- Work cross-functionally with software, hardware, and systems engineers to integrate localization algorithms into larger systems.
- Contribute to code reviews, knowledge sharing, and team brainstorming sessions to maintain a high level of technical excellence.
Essential Skills
- 10+ years of experience in developing localization algorithms for real-time operating systems.
- Experience in state estimation, probability theory, and advanced filtering techniques such as particle filters.
- Proficiency in at least one programming language (Python, C#, C++, MATLAB) used for developing and evaluating algorithms in a PC-based environment.
Additional Skills & Qualifications
- Enjoys working as part of a multi-disciplinary R&D team, bridging gaps between software, hardware, and systems-level design.
- Thrives on tackling open-ended challenges, taking ownership of tasks, and seeking continuous learning opportunities.
- Adept at using data analytics and simulations to diagnose issues, validate assumptions, and refine algorithmic approaches.
- Passionate about exploring new ideas, adapting cutting-edge research, and creatively applying them to solve challenging localization problems.
