• Background in robotics with INS EKF tuning
• Experience customizing INS platforms with sensors
• Proficient with robotics control software MOSA, ASPN, PNTOS ArduPilot
• Strong problem-solving and communication skills

Responsibilities

• Design, implement and tune Kalman-based and hybrid filters (EKF/UKF) for INS across scenarios.
• Develop and refine sensor fusion algorithms that combine magnetometer data with IMU outputs.
• Evaluate and iterate on hybrid navigation architectures (loosely/ tightly/ deeply coupled) and define data flow.
• Define and run benchmark suites against reference trajectories and truth data.
• Plan and execute field trials, capture sensor logs, and validate results in real-world conditions.
• Prototype novel approaches in simulation and move candidates through hardware-in-the-loop testing.
• Diagnose failure modes across the full signal chain and document findings to build team knowledge.
