We are seeking a skilled Sensor Fusion & Integration Engineer to join this team and take ownership of sensor integration, data fusion, and geolocation problems across our sensing pipeline. Job Overview: As a Sensor Fusion & Integration Engineer, you will work across the Sensing team's full pipeline: from adapting and integrating external sensors - including military-grade sensing payloads - into our systems, to building and tuning the data/sensor fusion logic that combines detections from multiple sensors into a single, reliable picture, to solving geolocation and tracking problems so that objects of interest are accurately and consistently positioned over time. This is a transversal, hands-on engineering role. You will design and implement sensor adapters and interfaces, contribute to the detection-to-track-to-fused-track pipeline, tune and debug tracking/localization algorithms against real and synthetic data, and integrate your work using ROS2, modern C++, and Rust. You will work closely with the rest of the Sensing team as well as adjacent teams behind autonomous mission execution, mission planning, and hardware/payload integration to ensure new sensors and fusion capabilities are delivered reliably into operational systems. AI coding assistants (e.g. Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or similar) are a core part of how our engineering teams work day to day, so comfort and fluency using them as part of your development workflow is essential for this role. What will be your responsibilities: · Integrate external sensors, including military-grade sensing payloads, by building adapters, drivers, and interfaces that bring their data into our sensing pipeline. · Contribute to the sensor/data fusion pipeline that combines detections from multiple sensors into unified tracks and higher-level fused objects. · Own and improve geolocation and tracking algorithms (e.g. Kalman-filter-based tracking), tuning and debugging them against real-world and synthetic datasets, including handling of noise and coordinate/reference-frame issues. · Advance detections of objects based on raw sensor data (e.g. Radar, RF, EO/IR) · Develop and maintain ROS2 wrappers and nodes to integrate sensors and fusion components into the wider system. · Write, test, and maintain production-quality C++ and Rust for sensor integration and fusion components. · Define and document interfaces (message/data contracts) between sensors, the fusion pipeline, and downstream consumers such as autonomous mission execution and mission planning. · Validate new sensors and fusion capabilities through structured testing, using both synthetic datasets and real sensor data. · Collaborate closely with the teams behind autonomous mission execution, mission planning, and hardware/payload integration to align sensing capabilities with operational needs. · Maintain clear technical documentation of sensor integrations, fusion logic, and architectural decisions in Jira/Confluence. · Use AI coding assistants (e.g. Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or similar) as part of your day-to-day engineering workflow to accelerate development, testing, and documentation.
