๐ Tech Stack
๐ผ About This Role
You'll lead the development and deployment of robust navigation systems for hull-cleaning and NDT inspection robots. You'll solve real localization problems in GPS-denied underwater environments. This role offers the chance to deploy cutting-edge sensor fusion solutions on critical infrastructure.
๐ฏ What You'll Do
- Design and implement error-state EKF/UKF/Particle Filters for underwater localization.
- Fuse data from IMUs, DVLs, pressure sensors, and acoustic positioning systems.
- Calibrate and validate sensor stacks including bias, alignment, and timing synchronization.
- Deploy and debug localization solutions in field environments under tight timelines.
๐ Requirements
- Proficiency in designing localization filters (EKF, UKF, Particle Filters).
- Experience fusing underwater sensor data (IMU, DVL, USBL/LBL, sonar).
- Strong background in state-space modeling and observability for underwater vehicles.
- Expertise in sensor calibration, timing, and noise management for underwater systems.
โจ Nice to Have
- Experience with hull-relative localization and close-to-structure navigation.
- Familiarity with ROS or similar robotics middleware.
- Knowledge of acoustic multipath and latency handling.
