  • Experience in implementing Kalman filters, particle filters, and other Bayes filters in C/C++, MATLAB or Python.
  • Experience in signal conditioning, digital filtering, signal-to-noise ratio analysis, link-budget analysis, detection and estimation theory.
  • Experience in bring-up, debug, and testing of sensor hardware using laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and logic analyzers.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM), Visual Inertial Odometry (VIO), and/or Global Navigation Satellite System + Inertial Navigation System (GNSS + INS).
  • Familiarity with modern machine learning algorithms, specifically deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNN), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN), Clustering, and Dimensionality Reduction.
  • Experience developing embedded systems using C/C++, Verilog, or VHDL.
