Job summary

Singularity Defense Corp. is seeking a software engineer focused on real-time tracking, state estimation, and multi-sensor fusion for embedded autonomous systems.

You will develop robust target tracking and estimation pipelines for challenging real-world conditions, interfacing with computer vision stacks on embedded GPUs. The role requires strong fundamentals in estimation theory and collaboration across engineering teams.

Qualifications

• BS/MS in Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Applied Mathematics, or related field.
• Strong experience with state estimation, tracking, or sensor fusion systems.
• Strong C++ software engineering experience.
• Experience implementing real-time systems on Linux.
• Solid understanding of linear algebra, probability/statistics, coordinate frames, and numerical methods.
• Experience with multi-object tracking, visual-inertial estimation, SLAM, radar/tracking, or EO/IR systems.
• Familiarity with CV pipelines and detector outputs (TensorRT, DeepStream, OpenCV, PyTorch/TensorRT).
• Experience debugging noisy real-world sensor systems.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement real-time tracking and state estimation algorithms for airborne and autonomous systems.
• Develop and maintain multi-target tracking pipelines using camera, IMU, and other sensors.
• Implement filtering and sensor fusion algorithms (EKF, UKF, Particle Filters, IMM).
• Build robust track management (initiation, deletion, gating, data association, covariance handling).
• Interface tracking with modern CV pipelines and detectors; integrate heterogeneous sensors with different latencies.
• Optimize algorithms for embedded compute platforms (Jetson-class).
• Develop low-latency real-time software in C++ for deployment in operational environments.
• Collaborate with guidance, autonomy, perception, and controls engineers.
• Build simulation/replay environments for estimator validation and performance analysis.
• Analyze estimator stability and robustness under degraded conditions.
