Your focus will be to lead and grow the development of a sensor fusion positioning system team combining on-board IMU observations and other sensors with an existing RTK GNSS engine to allow positioning in GNSS degraded environments.

The ideal candidate has contributed to the design and implementation of a production-grade GNSS / INS sensor fusion engine. He/she is a master of the principles of inertial navigation, is familiar with filtering techniques applied to non-linear systems and has experience with challenges related to real-world IMU measurements (vibrations,..) . He/she has deep experience working in C++ for the development and commercialization of sensor fusion algorithms.

Job Responsibilities include:

* Contribute to prototyping, design and implementation of sensor fusion algorithms in C++
* Architecture of a positioning filter engine combining multiple input sensors to produce an optimal position result
* Work with product management to develop solutions to address customer needs
* Lead and grow a world class sensor fusion team
* Maintain and support existing high precision products
* Code Review and collaborate with team members to ensure the quality of overall code development.

You should have skills and experience with:

* GNSS and IMU integration strategies
* Been involved with the development and launch of a commercial sensor fusion product
