Job Description

Insight Global is looking for a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to join one of our global manufacturing and supplier clients. This person will a specialized R&D team that is pioneering high-accuracy micro-location technologies that rely on advanced algorithms to achieve centimeter-level precision. By blending sensor data, RF signals, and cutting-edge signal processing, they are transforming how people and machines navigate their environments. This person will join a team to tackle complex real-world problems with creativity, collaboration, and a spirit of continuous innovation. Additional responsibilities include:
- Develop and refine PC-based localization algorithms using particle filters and other probabilistic techniques.
- Implement sensor fusion strategies that integrate data from IMUs, wireless signals, and other external sources to enhance position accuracy.
- Design simulations to test and validate your algorithms under diverse real-world conditions (e.g., multipath, noise, varying environments).
- Leverage Python, C++, C#, or MATLAB to prototype and optimize algorithms before porting them to production software.
- Conduct thorough performance evaluations of localization algorithms, identifying bottlenecks and implementing data-driven optimizations.
- Collaborate with embedded, FPGA, and RF teams to improve the performance of the location tracking system.
- Stay current with the latest academic and industry research in probabilistic localization, sensor fusion, and state estimation.
- Rapidly prototype novel concepts, iterating on algorithm design to reach production-level stability and robustness.
- Work cross-functionally with software, hardware, and systems engineers to integrate localization algorithms into larger systems.
- Contribute to code reviews, knowledge sharing, and team brainstorming sessions to maintain a high level of technical excellence.
