## Description

Our client, a Fortune 100 industrial manufacturing leader, is seeking a Robotics Localization Software Engineer to join a technical team focused on positioning and localization for autonomous and semi-autonomous systems. This role develops production-quality software that enables machines to robustly localize within their surrounding environment, working within a technical team led by an Architect and Program Manager., * Develop production-quality C++ software for positioning and localization, including design, documentation, coding, product quality, and validation

 * Collaborate with team members to prototype and bring to production algorithms that enable autonomous and semi-autonomous systems to localize robustly within their environment

 * Estimate position and altitude, both absolutely and relative to terrain features and static or mobile equipment, implementing filters using perception-based, inertial, and GNSS inputs

 * Research and design localization algorithms and software

 * Contribute to requirements generation and architecture design considerations for the localization architecture

 * Support functional safety software design and validation processes

 * Collaborate with and mentor localization team members to help execute team goals

 * Participate in all aspects of the development process, across the various phases of the software development lifecycle, * Identifies and documents specific problems and resolution alternatives, helping to analyze the risks and benefits of alternative approaches to reach a decision on resolution

 * Uses fact-finding techniques and diagnostic tools to identify problems

 * Discovers, analyzes, and resolves software or application problems, including analyzing code, logs, and current systems as part of advanced troubleshooting

 * Records and reports specific technical problems, along with the processes and tools used to solve them

 * Identifies common issues, problems, and considerations for each phase of the software development life cycle

 * Interprets application system designs, program specifications, product development plans, and functional documentation

 * Applies structured programming techniques with strong engineering practices, including debugging and profiling skills
