## What you have

- 3+ years of experience with demonstrated ability to create and deploy real-time perception systems
- Have a MS or PhD in a relevant program such as Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or similar
- Experience with classical techniques such as object detection, clustering, filtering, occupancy grids, data association, and tracking algorithms
- Experience with techniques such as Kalman Filtering, Bayesian Methods, and Sensor Fusion (with LiDAR/IMU/GNSS/Camera)
- Experience with 3D data and representations (point clouds, meshes, trees, etc.)
- Strong fundamentals of linear algebra and 3D geometry
- Highly skilled in C++ development and experience with the Linux environment
- Skilled in scripting languages such as Python and Bash

Nice-to-have

- Knowledge of working principles for RADARs or LiDARs
