Applied Scientist - Perception (SLAM/VIO), Fauna
Job description
We are seeking an Applied Scientist to develop and optimize Visual Inertial Odometry (VIO) and sensor fusion systems for our intelligent robots. In this role, you will design, implement, and deploy state estimation and tracking algorithms that enable robots to understand their position and motion in real time, even in challenging and dynamic environments.
You will own the full pipeline from algorithm development through embedded deployment, ensuring that perception systems run efficiently on resource-constrained robotic hardware.
This is a deeply hands-on role. You will work directly with sensors, hardware, and real-world data, while prototyping, testing, and iterating in physical…
Job requirements
- 3+ years of building models for business application experience
- PhD, or Master's degree and 4+ years of CS, CE, ML or related field experience
- Experience in patents or publications at top-tier peer-reviewed conferences or journals
- Experience programming in Java, C++, Python or related language
- Experience in any of the following areas: algorithms and data structures, parsing, numerical optimization, data mining, parallel and distributed computing, high-performance computing
- Hands-on experience developing and deploying Visual Inertial Odometry or visual-inertial SLAM systems
- Strong understanding of multi-sensor fusion (cameras, IMUs, odometry) and state estimation (EKF, factor graphs)
- Experience optimizing perception algorithms for embedded or resource-constrained hardware
