Principal State Estimation Engineer at Echodyne Corp | LAYIQ

Lead development of methods for estimating radar position, velocity, orientation, angular rate, and height above ground in GPS-denied environments using radar and IMU data, terrain maps, and other on-radar sensors and data.
Apply techniques from robotics and autonomy, including SLAM, odometry, inertial navigation, localization, factor graphs, probabilistic state estimation, and machine learning – within the constraints of an embedded real-time system.
Take these algorithms from research and prototyping through production implementation.
Drive system-level impacts and coordinate with other teams on deployment.
Work with radar, signal processing, embedded software, systems, and test teams to integrate capabilities into products.
Analyze field data to characterize performance and identify failure modes to produce robust, production-grade solutions.
REQUIRED SKILLS / EXPERIENCE
Demonstrated ability to independently lead an open-ended technical problem.
Experience developing state-estimation, localization, navigation, perception, or machine learning solutions for robotics, VR/AR headsets, autonomous vehicles, drones, aerospace, or similar platforms from prototype through production deployment.
Experience working with real-world spatial sensor data (e.g. camera, lidar, radar, ultrasound, sonar).
Experience with SLAM, Kalman filtering, Bayesian estimation, and factor graphs.
Deep understanding of state-estimation theory, 3D geometry, coordinate transformations, rotations, and kinematics.
Strong foundations in linear algebra, probability, statistics, and optimization.
Strong software development skills in C++ and either Python or MATLAB.
Strong verbal and written communication skills.
DESIRED SKILLS / EXPERIENCE
(Looking for one or more as a complement to the core skills)
Experience with visual, lidar, or radar odometry; map- or terrain-relative localization, Maximum Likelihood Estimation.
Experience with open-source C++ optimization libraries (GTSAM, Ceres).
Software development processes and best practices.
Real-time or embedded algorithm development.
Understanding of traditional navigation sensors (IMUs, accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetometers, GPS, etc.).
Familiarity with alternative navigation sensors (camera, RF ranging, celestial, etc.).
