Perception & Sensor Fusion Engineer

Saildrone is a maritime defense company developing autonomous unmanned surface vehicles. The Perception & Sensor Fusion Engineer will develop algorithms and software that combine observations from multiple sensors into detections, tracks, and higher-level environmental representations for autonomous systems and mission operators.

Responsibilities:

• Develop perception and sensor-fusion algorithms that combine observations from multiple sensor modalities
• Develop and evaluate algorithms for object detection, classification, tracking, and estimation
• Train, evaluate, and deploy machine-learning models where ML is the right approach to the problem
• Develop algorithms that use information from one sensor to guide or cue another sensor, including PTZ cameras
• Analyze real-world sensor data to identify failures, edge cases, and opportunities to improve performance
• Integrate perception outputs with production software and cloud applications used by mission operators
• Validate and continuously improve perception capabilities using real operational data
