Robotics Navigation Engineer - Huntsville Alabama
Company: Leidos Location: Huntsville, Alabama
Posted On: 04/24/2024
Description The Guidance, Navigation, Control, and Autonomy Branch of the Leidos Innovations Center provides cutting-edge navigation for customers who can't rely on GPS alone, and we need your help in the Rocket City (Huntsville, AL)!This position offers both analytic and hands-on tasks, including development, simulation, analysis, and field testing of navigation algorithms. We perform research, development, and advanced prototyping for DARPA, NASA, Air Force Research Laboratory, Office of Naval Research, and Army Combat Capabilities Development Command engineering centers. These customers need to get our advanced technology into the field! You'll work with other engineers in small teams using spiral or agile development to meet aggressive schedules aimed at near-term field demonstrations. Are you excited about making advanced technologies work in the real world? Then we want you on our team!For more information about the work we do, please visit: Primary Responsibilities - Develop algorithms for real-time GPS-denied navigation of robotic platforms.
- Navigate a variety of platforms, including aircraft, ships, ground vehicles, and pedestrians.
- Use multiple sensor fusion algorithms, including extended Kalman filters, unscented Kalman filters, particle filters, and factor graphs.
- Fuse simulated and real-world sensor inputs from inertial sensors, GPS, altimeters, cameras, lidar, odometers, and ranging radios.
- Use computer vision techniques like feature matching, SLAM, and visual odometry to extract navigation measurements from imagery.
- Work within a team of 3-5 engineers to test algorithms on demonstration hardware.
- Travel with the team to demonstrate systems in real-world conditions; typically lasts 1-2 weeks and occurs 3-4 times a year.
- Present techniques, solutions, and results to the team and to customers.Basic Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in advanced technical field (electrical engineering, software engineering, aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, or equivalent) and 4+ years of prior relevant experience or master's degree with 2+ years of prior relevant experience.
- 1+ years of relevant experience with one or more sensor fusion algorithms: extended Kalman filters, unscented Kalman filters, particle filters, or factor graphs.
- Programming & analysis experience in MATLAB.
- Qualified candidates must be a U.S. Citizen and able to obtain and maintain a Secret security clearance after hiring (no clearance needed to start)Preferred Qualifications
