About the role

As a Sensor Fusion Engineer on the UK Engineering team, you will play a pivotal role in developing tracking, fusion, and state estimation capabilities for unmanned autonomous systems. You will design and build single-agent and multi-target detection and tracking algorithms, as well as decentralised multi-agent, multi-target tracking algorithms for swarms of unmanned autonomous systems.

This role sits at the intersection of autonomy, robotics, perception, state estimation, and production software engineering. You will work closely with autonomy engineers, software engineers, and cross-functional teams to take algorithms from concept through to robust, deployable software for real-world autonomous systems.

We’re looking for someone who has:

• Master’s degree in computer science, robotics, or a related engineering field with 5+ years of experience developing tracking and fusion software for autonomous robotic systems

• Experience processing sensor measurements from:​ Optical Sensors​, RF Sensors​, Radar, Lidar​

• Experience with classical state estimation and tracking: Kalman Filters, Particle Filters, etc

• Experience with multi-target prediction and tracking (multi-target tracking) for autonomous robotic systems

• Experience with cross-platform sensor fusion.

• Proficient in Python and C++ with strong procedural and object-oriented programming skills, experienced in Git, VS Code, GitLab, Nexus, SonarQube, Docker, Linux, and Azure Container Registry

Travel Requirements:

• Must be willing to travel as projects requires; estimated average travel (~25%)

Nice to have:

• 7+ years of hands-on experience developing tracking and fusion software for autonomous robotic systems

• Familiarity with software-in-the-loop (SIL) and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) development and testing and Python experience

• Experience working projects related to national security for one or more government agencies

• Interdisciplinary background, with evidence of continual learning

• References who will describe them as low-ego, highly motivated, thoughtfully opinionated, strong communicators and curious listeners

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to cross-disciplinary teams

Security Requirements:

• Must hold or be eligible to obtain and maintain a UK security clearance
