About the Role
As a Sensors Systems Engineer, you will architect platforms' perception systems, leading the selection, integration, and optimization of sensor systems for UAVs. This is a hands-on role responsible for the entire lifecycle of a sensor, from hardware interfacing to writing high-performance C++ drivers.
Responsibilities
- Own the end-to-end integration of EO/IR cameras, gimbals, Radar, and Lidar.
- Bridge the gap between physical mounting/wiring and the software nodes that control them.
- Design and implement drivers and ROS2 nodes.
- Work directly with hardware protocols including I2C, SPI, CAN, Serial, and Ethernet (RTSP/UDP).
- Solve the "hard" problems of temporal synchronization across distributed hardware using PTP, PPS, or hardware triggering.
- Develop and execute rigorous intrinsic and extrinsic calibration routines.
- Profile and tune sensor pipelines to maximize performance on resource-constrained embedded compute.
- Support flight tests and field deployments, diagnosing hardware-level issues and iterating on design improvements.
Requirements
- A degree in Mechatronics, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- Comfortable with hardware diagnostic tools (oscilloscopes, multimeters) and modern software development environments.
- Strong proficiency in C++ and Python for hardware interfacing and embedded systems.
- Hands-on experience with I2C, SPI, CAN, and Ethernet-based sensor communication.
- A track record of addressing complex design trade-offs, balancing sensor characteristics against physical constraints.
- A self-driven engineer who thrives on troubleshooting complex systems at the boundary of hardware and code.
- Eligible to obtain and maintain the appropriate security clearance.
