About The Role

At ARX Robotics, you will help build the localization and sensor fusion systems that power autonomous ground vehicles in complex and unpredictable environments. As a Senior Engineer, Sensor Fusion & Localization, you will develop the core technologies that enable robotic platforms to understand their position, movement, and surroundings with high reliability, even in GPS-denied conditions. 

You will work closely with autonomy, perception, software, and hardware teams to bring advanced robotic systems from development to real-world deployment. Your work will directly contribute to the performance, resilience, and operational effectiveness of autonomous and teleoperated vehicles operating in demanding field environments. 

What You’ll Build

• Develop advanced sensor fusion and state estimation algorithms for autonomous ground systems operating in challenging real-world conditions

• Design and implement localization frameworks using EKF, UKF, particle filters, nonlinear observers, and factor graph-based SLAM methods  

• Fuse and synchronize data from LiDAR, cameras, radar, IMUs, GNSS, magnetometers, and other sensor systems to create robust environmental awareness  

• Build low-latency, real-time data processing pipelines optimized for autonomous robotic platforms 

• Develop reliable localization solutions for degraded or denied GNSS environments  

• Integrate localization and fusion systems with broader autonomy, navigation, and perception stacks 

• Validate algorithms through simulation, controlled testing, and field deployments in dynamic outdoor environments  

• Investigate and resolve complex sensor, calibration, synchronization, and state estimation challenges  

• Prototype and deploy new approaches for multi-sensor fusion and autonomous navigation 

• Contribute to the evolution of robotics, AI, and autonomous system capabilities within a fast-moving defense technology environment
  
  

What You Bring

• Advanced academic background (MSc or higher) in Robotics, Computer Vision, Autonomous Systems, or a related engineering field 

• Strong software engineering skills in C++ and experience debugging complex robotics systems  

• Deep understanding of sensor fusion, localization, and state estimation techniques including EKF, UKF, particle filters, and factor graphs  

• Experience working with visual odometry, inertial navigation, and robotics perception systems  

• Hands-on experience integrating and calibrating multi-sensor systems including LiDAR, cameras, IMUs, GNSS, and radar  

• Strong foundation in linear algebra, probability, estimation theory, and 3D geometry  

• Confidence working with ROS2, simulation environments, and robotics validation workflows  

• Experience developing software within Linux-based systems using modern engineering practices, version control, and CI/CD pipelines  

• Curiosity and motivation to build reliable autonomy systems with real operational impact  

• Experience with CUDA or edge computing optimization are beneficial 

Please note: You do not need to meet every single requirement to apply. We welcome motivated candidates who are eager to grow into the role and develop their expertise further.
