Senior Software Engineer, Robotics Tracking and Fusion

Description:

  • Define and influence the direction of a small team using subject-matter expertise in target tracking and state estimation.
  • Prototype and deploy algorithms for tracking, multi-sensor data fusion, and state estimation in agile, iterative development environments.
  • Develop high-performance software for real-time systems, including tactical applications, simulation environments, and decision support tools.
  • Design and implement filters, estimators, and probabilistic reasoning systems that extract insights from noisy, ambiguous, or incomplete sensor data.
  • Analyze system performance using high-fidelity simulations, modeling tools, and statistical techniques to validate technology impact.
  • Customize algorithms and software for mission-critical customer use cases, including real-time tracking and sensor fusion.
  • Integrate tracking and estimation capabilities across the software development lifecycle from requirements through testing and optimization.
  • Translate technical progress into clear, actionable insights for colleagues and end users.

Requirements:

  • Proficiency in algorithm design, software development, and statistical modeling.
  • Programming experience with C/C++, Python, and Matlab.
  • Strong knowledge of target tracking techniques, including Kalman filters, particle filters, and multi-target tracking algorithms such as JPDA, MHT, or PHD filters.
  • Experience in state estimation, including Bayesian filtering, sensor fusion, and recursive estimation techniques.
  • Solid understanding of applied mathematics, including linear algebra, optimization, probability, and stochastic processes.
  • Knowledge of signal processing for interpreting sensor data such as radar, lidar, and EO/IR.
  • Familiarity with big data pipelines, NoSQL databases, and handling large-scale sensor data efficiently.
  • Background in machine learning applied to target tracking and recognition, including clustering, classification, and anomaly detection.
  • Ability to engineer robust systems for estimation theory, adaptive filtering, controls, and complex signal environments.
  • Ability to work across the development lifecycle from prototyping to production optimization.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance.
  • Transcripts requested during the early application process; unofficial transcripts are acceptable if submitted.

Benefits:

  • US salary range of $220,000 to $292,000.
  • Highly competitive equity grants included in the majority of full-time offers.
  • Top-tier benefits for full-time employees.
  • Comprehensive, competitive benefits package available at little to no cost to employees.
  • Support for health, recovery, and future needs through employee benefits.

Common Interview Questions And Answers

1. HOW DO YOU PLAN YOUR DAY?

This is what this question poses: When do you focus and start working seriously? What are the hours you work optimally? Are you a night owl? A morning bird? Remote teams can be made up of people working on different shifts and around the world, so you won't necessarily be stuck in the 9-5 schedule if it's not for you...

2. HOW DO YOU USE THE DIFFERENT COMMUNICATION TOOLS IN DIFFERENT SITUATIONS?

When you're working on a remote team, there's no way to chat in the hallway between meetings or catch up on the latest project during an office carpool. Therefore, virtual communication will be absolutely essential to get your work done...

3. WHAT IS "WORKING REMOTE" REALLY FOR YOU?

Many people want to work remotely because of the flexibility it allows. You can work anywhere and at any time of the day...

4. WHAT DO YOU NEED IN YOUR PHYSICAL WORKSPACE TO SUCCEED IN YOUR WORK?

With this question, companies are looking to see what equipment they may need to provide you with and to verify how aware you are of what remote working could mean for you physically and logistically...

5. HOW DO YOU PROCESS INFORMATION?

Several years ago, I was working in a team to plan a big event. My supervisor made us all work as a team before the big day. One of our activities has been to find out how each of us processes information...

6. HOW DO YOU MANAGE THE CALENDAR AND THE PROGRAM? WHICH APPLICATIONS / SYSTEM DO YOU USE?

Or you may receive even more specific questions, such as: What's on your calendar? Do you plan blocks of time to do certain types of work? Do you have an open calendar that everyone can see?...

7. HOW DO YOU ORGANIZE FILES, LINKS, AND TABS ON YOUR COMPUTER?

Just like your schedule, how you track files and other information is very important. After all, everything is digital!...

8. HOW TO PRIORITIZE WORK?

The day I watched Marie Forleo's film separating the important from the urgent, my life changed. Not all remote jobs start fast, but most of them are...

9. HOW DO YOU PREPARE FOR A MEETING AND PREPARE A MEETING? WHAT DO YOU SEE HAPPENING DURING THE MEETING?

Just as communication is essential when working remotely, so is organization. Because you won't have those opportunities in the elevator or a casual conversation in the lunchroom, you should take advantage of the little time you have in a video or phone conference...

10. HOW DO YOU USE TECHNOLOGY ON A DAILY BASIS, IN YOUR WORK AND FOR YOUR PLEASURE?

This is a great question because it shows your comfort level with technology, which is very important for a remote worker because you will be working with technology over time...
