At
InferQ, we are building solutions for
autonomous and intelligent aerial systems. We seek a
Robotic Navigation Engineer with deep technical rigor and a passion for developing
mission-critical navigation, estimation, and path planning systems for UAVs. The role demands hands-on engagement across the autonomy stack. You will work at the intersection of robotics, AI, and aerospace, translating research into reliable field-deployable systems.
Key Responsibilities
- Architect and implement algorithms for joint state estimation, integrating multi-sensor inputs.
- Develop dynamic and real-time path planning solutions for UAVs.
- Create and validate flight simulations using various COTS Simulators or custom HIL/SIL test environments.
- Design and integrate advanced navigation systems.
- Work with avionics, AI, and controls teams to integrate autonomy modules on flight computers and mission systems.
- Conduct flight trials, performance evaluation, and algorithm optimization under real mission conditions.
- Support development of mission-critical autonomy frameworks for UAV systems.
Skillset/ Experience Required
- Strong foundation in linear and nonlinear state estimation and multi-sensor fusion.
- Expertise in path planning and trajectory optimization for aerial platforms.
- Proficiency in C++ / Python and ROS / ROS2 for robotic system development.
- Experience with aerospace kinematics and dynamics modeling, flight control integration, and navigation system design.
- Hands-on experience with Gazebo / X-Plane / AirSim / Unreal Engine simulators.
- Practical understanding of vision-based SLAM, visual odometry, and obstacle avoidance.
- Strong analytical and debugging skills, with a systems-engineering mindset.
- Exposure to AI-based perception systems.
- Integration of algorithms with embedded flight computers.
- Experience with HIL/SIL test setups and flight telemetry systems.
- Familiarity with DO-178C, DO-254, or other lifecycle processes is a plus.
Educational Qualification
- B.E. / B.Tech / M.Tech / Ph.D. in Aerospace, Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical, or related disciplines.
- Academic or project focus in Autonomous Systems, Estimation, Navigation, or AI-based Robotics is preferred.
Skills:- Robotics, Hardware-in-the-loop simulation, Simulation and Drone Application Development
