Senior Perception and Localization Engineer II
ICON
ICON is seeking a Senior Perception and Localization Engineer II to lead the development of advanced sensing and absolute position feedback systems in the Phoenix group at ICON. As the Senior Perception and Localization Engineer II at ICON, you will be responsible for all phases of development and productization of the Perception & Localization systems on ICON's latest machines. This role is based at ICON’s Austin, TX campus and will report to the Embedded Software Manager on ICON’s Phoenix team.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Act as SME on the development of the Perception and Localization systems
- Collaborate with team members as well as cross-functionally to ensure quality and timely delivery
- Develop plans for, and run, sensor integration, testing, and productization activities for sensors such as: Laser tracking systems, LiDAR, TOF sensors, Computer vision (OpenCV, Matrox, Cognex, Keyence), IMU
- Support Make/buy decisions and other analysis during the product development
- Perform additional tasks as required from time to time
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:
- 8+ of experience in computer science, robotics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or related field
- Good understanding of real-time sensor fusion algorithms development aimed at position estimation based on multiple sensors operating with different sampling frequencies e.g. GPSs TOF sensors, inertial sensors (IMU)
- Experience working with sensor fusion algorithms: Kalman Filter, particle filters, stochastic estimators, non-linear estimation, especially estimation algorithms aimed to estimate Spatial motions (SO3)
- Knowledge of how to implement these algorithms for real-time systems using C/C++
- Strong knowledge of linear algebra and how to implement these using languages like C/C++
- Good understanding of non-linear dynamics and stochastic modeling
PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
- BS, MS, or PhD in computer science, robotics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or related field
- Practical experience shipping working perception systems
- System architecture experience
- Experience delivering scalable code that is highly testable and portable
- Experience delivering memory-safe code that is certifiable for real-time control of machines
- Rust and/or other modern compiled languages would be a plus
- Experience with numerical stability analysis
