Senior Simulation & Autonomy Engineer Integration, State Estimation & Perception Location: San Diego, CA (on-site or hybrid) Compensation: $185,000/year Employment Type: Full-Time Citizenship: US Citizenship required; background check and drug screen required Role Summary Lead the integration of autonomy codebases into synthetic testbeds and hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) setups for unmanned surface vessels (USVs). Build simulators that exercise onboard autonomy, sensors, and control loops end-to-end. Key Responsibilities Integrate autonomy software navigation, planning, control, and perception pipelines with simulators and CI/HITL test infrastructure. Design, implement, and maintain physics-consistent synthetic environments that align dynamics, sensor models, state-estimation, and render/update loops for realistic closed-loop testing. Develop and validate sensor models (GNSS, IMU, DVL, radar, lidar, camera) and measurement noise models; tune them against real-vehicle logs. Implemen...
