About the role
Heavy machinery, light years ahead. sensmore automates the world's largest machines with unprecedented intelligence. Our proprietary Physical AI enables heavy machines such as wheel loaders to instantly adapt to dynamic environments and execute new tasks without prior training. We integrate cutting-edge robotics into a platform powering intelligence and automation products - transforming productivity and safety for customers in mining, construction, and adjacent industries today. We are proudly backed by Point Nine and other Tier 1 investors.
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.
- Required 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.
- Preferred Skills
- Experience in autonomous vehicles, robotics, or off-road systems (mining, construction, agriculture).
- Knowledge of SLAM, localization, or factor-graph frameworks (e.g. GTSAM, Ceres).
- Understanding of vehicle dynamics and control integration .
- Experience validating robotics systems through simulation and field testing .
