  • Proven experience leading engineering teams working on state estimation, localization, or SLAM technologies.
  • Strong foundation in C++ development, geometric computer vision, stochastic processes, and nonlinear / convex optimization.
  • Deep understanding of filtering algorithms (e.g., Kalman, particle filters) and optimization-based methods (e.g., nonlinear least squares).
  • Familiarity with camera geometry, structure from motion, multi-sensor fusion, factor graphs, and related state estimation concepts.
  • Strong track record of technical execution combined with leadership and team-building skills.
  • Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across engineering, research, and product functions.
  • Experience in technology transfer and delivering research innovations into production systems.
  • Preferred Qualifications :
