Job summary

Axon seeks an experienced Senior Machine Learning Engineer II focused on Sensor Fusion & Tracking to research, design, and validate advanced estimation models for real‑time airspace awareness systems. You will translate theory into deployed, scalable software used in safety missions worldwide.

The role emphasizes Kalman/bayesian methods, multi-sensor fusion, and collaboration with software engineers to bring algorithms into production. Seattle hybrid work awaits.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience developing and deploying machine learning systems in real-world applications.
• Proficiency in Python and ML frameworks (PyTorch/TensorFlow) for production use.
• Experience deploying ML systems in cloud, edge, or embedded environments.
• Solid understanding of statistics, model evaluation, and performance trade-offs.
• Familiarity with MLOps practices including CI/CD for ML, model versioning, monitoring, and retraining workflows.

Responsibilities

• Research and develop advanced multi-sensor fusion and multi-target tracking methodologies.
• Design probabilistic models and state estimation frameworks for radar, RF, optical, and other sensing modalities.
• Develop and evaluate algorithms such as Kalman filters (EKF/UKF), particle filters, Bayesian filters, probabilistic data association, and multi-hypothesis tracking.
• Conduct simulation studies and performance benchmarking across varying operational conditions and noise environments.
• Analyze real-world datasets to validate model assumptions, quantify uncertainty, and improve robustness.
• Partner closely with software engineers to transition validated algorithms into scalable, production-ready systems.
• Publish internal technical documentation and contribute to intellectual property development where applicable.
• Stay current with advancements in tracking, estimation theory, probabilistic modeling, and machine learning research.
