Navigation & Sensing Engineer developing advanced positioning and multi-sensor fusion solutions for UAVs at BRINC. Collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver cutting-edge navigation capabilities.
Responsibilities
Research, design, and implement state estimation algorithms, including advanced GNSS/INS fusion, and robust filtering approaches.
Develop high-reliability navigation pipelines integrating GNSS, IMUs/inertial sensors, magnetometers, barometers, LiDAR, Radar, and other sensing modalities.
Build algorithms and tooling for GNSS integrity monitoring, spoofing/jamming detection, signal quality assessment, and fallback/contingency navigation behaviors.
Develop calibration, synchronization, and observability pipelines for multi-sensor UAV systems, ensuring consistency and long-term reliability.
Implement and optimize real-time navigation algorithms on embedded processors, focusing on determinism, computational efficiency, and fault tolerance.
Validate navigation performance through simulation, log replay, hardware-in-the-loop, and real-world flight testing in a variety of GPS conditions.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration with autonomy, controls, avionics, mechanical, and firmware systems.
Contribute to technical strategy, define best practices, and help guide the evolution of the navigation and sensing stack as systems scale and mature.
Requirements
