Perception Engineer, Autonomy (Air Domain)
Applied Intuition, Fort Walton Beach, FL
The role
As a Perception Engineer, you will help build the perception layer of an autonomy stack for uncrewed air vehicles. The team turns noisy, intermittent data from many sensors and teammates into a reliable picture of the airspace.
This role spans classical state estimation and tracking, sensor fusion, and learning-based prediction. Increasingly, those models adapt online during an engagement from limited and delayed feedback. The engineer will design and implement real-time C++ algorithms, build the tooling and simulation studies that show whether they work, and carry ideas from research prototypes into deployable software. We need someone fluent in both estimation theory and machine learning, rigorous about measuring results, and comfortable working at the line between research and production.
