About the Role
We're looking for a Robotics Sensor Engineer to join an autonomous systems team working across multiple platforms. The role covers sensor integration end-to-end hardware bring-up, driver development, calibration pipelines, and outdoor field testing. You'll be working with cameras (RGB and thermal/IR), lidars, IMUs, GPS/RTK, and magnetometers, all running on NVIDIA Jetson embedded computers alongside robotics, perception, and navigation engineers.
What You'll Be Doing
- Bringing up and validating cameras (RGB and thermal/IR), lidars, IMUs, GPS/RTK, and magnetometers on NVIDIA Jetson platforms (Orin, AGX, NX), including BSP adaptation, CSI/USB bring-up, and multi-sensor resource management
- Writing and adapting ROS 2 and low-level embedded Linux drivers across MIPI CSI-2, UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, GigE Vision, and USB — including V4L2 and kernel module work where needed
- Joining outdoor test campaigns: setting up sensor rigs, monitoring live data quality, and diagnosing faults in real conditions — dust, heat, vibration
- Diagnosing hardware failures at component level: optics, power integrity, EMI, grounding, and environmental protection
- Characterising sensors against accuracy, latency, and SWaP requirements, and evaluating emerging hardware candidates
- Developing and maintaining intrinsic/extrinsic calibration pipelines for cameras, lidars, and IMUs, optimised for embedded boards and repeatable across deployments
- Producing integration guides and test reports that build lasting team knowledge

- Embedded Linux skills: device tree, V4L2, kernel modules, and interface protocols (MIPI CSI-2, UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, Ethernet, USB)
- Experience writing or porting ROS/ROS 2 drivers on resource-constrained hardware
- Proven integration of heterogeneous sensor suites — cameras, lidar, IMU, GNSS — on robotic platforms
- Hardware debugging with oscilloscopes, logic analysers, multimeters, and thermal cameras
- Solid understanding of camera optical principles and common failure modes (focus drift, contamination, stray light)
- IMU and GNSS/RTK integration experience, including sensor fusion fundamentals
- Comfortable with outdoor field testing in varying environmental conditions
