Job description

We are seeking a Sensor Integration Engineer to support selection, characterization, calibration, and integration of multi-modal navigation and localization sensors for the X-BAT State Estimation team. This role operates at the intersection of software, electrical, and mechanical engineering, requiring the ability to work across disciplines and directly contribute to cross-functional engineering efforts.

Job responsibilities

  • Support sensor integration activities from specification through production
  • Develop and execute sensor characterization and calibration procedures for IMUs, GNSS receivers, cameras, and other navigation sensors
  • Contribute to sensor trade studies and selection processes
  • Work closely with electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and software engineering teams on:
  • Electrical interfaces, power distribution, and signal conditioning
  • Mounting solutions, alignment, and thermal/vibration considerations
  • Software interfaces, drivers, data acquisition, and calibration implementation
  • Participate in design reviews across EE/ME/SW disciplines, providing interdisciplinary perspective and coordination

Job requirements

  • BS in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Physics, or related field
  • 1-4 years of relevant experience (new grads with strong cross-functional internship/project experience will be considered)
  • Demonstrated ability to work across at least two of: electrical, mechanical, software domains
  • Ability to obtain a S//SAR level security clearance desired.
  • Understanding of sensor measurement principles and error sources
  • Ability to read and understand electrical schematics and/or mechanical drawings
  • Basic proficiency in scripting or programming for data analysis (Python, MATLAB, or similar)
  • Familiarity with sensor communication protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, etc.)
