Potsdam Office, Berlin OfficeFull-timePosted 7mo ago
About the role
State Estimation Engineer responsible for designing and deploying robust, fail-safe state estimation systems for autonomous heavy machinery, transforming noisy multi-sensor data into accurate real-time 3D state estimates in harsh environments.
Responsibilities
- Design state estimation systems: develop robust pipelines that estimate vehicle motion states (velocity, angular velocity, and position) in real time.
- Multi-sensor fusion: fuse data from sensors such as LiDAR, IMUs, GNSS, and wheel odometry using probabilistic estimation frameworks.
- Estimator development: implement and maintain filter-based or optimization-based estimators (e.g. EKF, UKF, factor graph methods).
- System integration and validation: integrate estimation modules with robotics stacks and validate performance using simulation, logs, and real-world testing.
Qualifications
- Robotics state estimation experience: hands-on experience implementing state estimation algorithms such as Kalman filters, optimization-based estimators, or particle filters.
- Multi-sensor robotics systems: experience estimating vehicle motion by fusing data from multiple robotic sensors.
- Robotics software development: strong programming skills in C++ and/or Python, ideally within ROS/ROS2 environments.
- Strong analytical and debugging skills: ability to diagnose estimation failures and reason about system-level robotics behavior.
