Job Description
Senior Staff Engineer, State Estimation
Shield AI
• Research and develop state-of-the-art state estimation and navigation algorithms to enable resilient autonomy in challenging GPS-denied environments. • Design and deploy production-grade C++ software for embedded robotic systems operating in dynamic, real-world environments. • Build and maintain rigorous unit, integration, and system-level tests to ensure system robustness and safety. • Develop and enhance modeling, calibration, and simulation tools for inertial and vision-based navigation systems. • Contribute to roadmap planning, feature decomposition, and agile execution alongside a multidisciplinary team of autonomy engineers. • Continuously enhance performance analysis, benchmarking, and validation pipelines to drive rapid innovation and improvement.
Job Requirements
- M.S. in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Computer Science or a related field; Minimum 2+ years of related professional work experience if you have an M.S degree or 0 years if you have a new Ph.D graduate.
- Professional proficiency in modern C++ (C++11 or newer) and strong object-oriented design skills.
- Hands-on experience deploying low-latency C++ applications to embedded Linux platforms.
- Professional experience designing and implementing state estimation algorithms (e.g., EKF, UKF, Graph-based optimization).
- Familiarity with VIO, SLAM, or multi-sensor fusion frameworks (e.g., gtsam, Ceres, OpenVINS).
- Strong working knowledge of CI pipelines and automated testing frameworks for C++.
- Ability to independently deploy high-reliability code suitable for real-world autonomous systems.
- Familiarity with prototyping in Python or MATLAB is welcome, but this role demands professional C++ production deployment skills.
Benefits
- Pay within range listed + Bonus + Benefits + Equity
- Temporary benefits package (applicable after 60 days of employment)
