Sensor Fusion Engineer – Multi-Sensor Integration (m/f/d)

We are developing a next-generation C-UAS Multi-Agent System that integrates sensors, effectors, and multiple agents into a coherent system for monitoring, coordination, and control. Our system combines data from radar, EO/IR cameras, passive RF sensors, OSINT, and other sources to detect, track, and understand objects and activities in real time.
We are looking for a Sensor Fusion Engineer who enjoys working hands-on with real sensor data and takes ownership from sensor integration through algorithms, testing, and deployment. You will turn heterogeneous and imperfect sensor data into reliable tracks and actionable situational awareness.
Tasks
Develop and implement multi-sensor fusion and tracking algorithms
Integrate data from radar, cameras, passive RF, OSINT, and other sensors
Develop methods for sensor registration, calibration, synchronization, data association, and track fusion
Work with real-world sensor data, including recording, replay, visualization, and analysis
Investigate sensor and tracking problems and identify their root causes
Develop tools and processes to evaluate and improve fusion performance
Integrate fusion components with the wider C-UAS system and downstream applications
Take ownership of components from concept through implementation, integration, testing, and deployment
Requirements
Essential
Professional experience with C++
Practical experience in sensor fusion, perception, tracking, or multi-sensor integration
Hands-on experience working with real sensor data
Experience with multi-object tracking and methods such as Kalman filters, EKF/UKF, or related approaches
Pragmatic engineering mindset and ability to solve problems independently
Strong sense of ownership and initiative
Ability to work effectively across disciplines
Fluent in English; German is a plus
Valuable
Experience with radar, EO/IR, passive RF, ADS-B, or OSINT
Experience with track-to-track and measurement-level fusion
Experience with geospatial data and coordinate transformations
Experience with ROS2
Skills for data analysis and visualization
Experience with Linux, Docker, Git, and CI/CD
Experience with autonomous systems, robotics, aerospace, defense, C-UAS, or other mission-critical systems
Experience with simulation, hardware-in-the-loop, and field testing
What we are looking for
You like getting close to the actual data and the actual system. You enjoy investigating unexpected sensor behavior, debugging complex problems, and turning experiments into robust production software.
You are proactive and take ownership. When something does not work, you investigate it, identify the problem, drive the solution, and verify that it works in the real world.
