Job Description:

Your mission

• Develop and optimize SLAM algorithms for real-time UAV mapping and autonomous navigation
• Implement sensor fusion techniques combining Lidar, Radar, EO/IR, IMU, and GPS data
• Enhance localization accuracy in GPS-denied environments using vision-based SLAM (ORB-SLAM, VINS-Mono)
• Design and deploy probabilistic mapping techniques (e.g., Kalman Filters, Particle Filters, Graph-SLAM)
• Improve loop closure detection and drift correction for long-term UAV autonomy
• Optimize SLAM models for low-latency execution on embedded and edge AI platforms
• Integrate SLAM into swarm coordination frameworks for multi-UAV mapping

Your profile

• 3+ years experience in SLAM, sensor fusion, and real-time navigation
• Strong expertise in computer vision-based SLAM (ORB-SLAM, VINS, DSO, LSD-SLAM)
• Proficiency in C++, Python, or Rust for high-performance robotics applications
• Experience with ROS2, DDS, and real-time UAV navigation frameworks
• Knowledge of probabilistic filtering techniques (EKF, UKF, Particle Filters)
• Familiarity with embedded and edge AI hardware (Jetson, FPGA, Edge TPU)

Nice to have

• Experience in multi-agent SLAM for UAV swarm mapping
• Background in deep learning-based visual odometry and SLAM
• Knowledge of adversarial environments and SLAM resilience against sensor spoofing

Meta

• Outside of the box creativity, conceptual & systematic design thinking, disciplined execution
• Servant leader mindset, placing team success over ego
• Highest moral standards and work ethic
• We value extra-curricular responsibilities and achievements in your biography
• Intrinsic motivation, willing to go the extra mile, attention to detail
• Fluent in English
• Nationality of a NATO member nation or close ally is a must
• Successful candidates will be required to obtain security clearance
