Autonomy Engineer, Navigation & Sensing
ABOUT BRINC:
At BRINC, we are redefining public safety with an innovative ecosystem of life-saving tools. Our journey started with the development of drones and ruggedized throw phones, designed to access unsafe areas and establish communication to de-escalate situations. Today, we've expanded into creating and deploying 911 response networks, where drones are dispatched to 911 calls to provide real-time visual data, enhancing safety and enabling de-escalation-focused responses. Our cutting-edge solutions are utilized by over 600 public safety agencies across America and the company has raised over $150M from investors, including Index Ventures, Motorola Solutions, Sam Altman, Dylan Field, Mike Volpe, Alexandr Wang and more. At BRINC, we are committed to recruiting the world's best talent to join us in our mission to support first responders in saving lives.
ABOUT THIS ROLE:
We are seeking a Navigation & Sensing Engineer to join our Autonomy engineering team to advance the positioning, guidance, and multi-sensor fusion capabilities of our UAVs and public safety products. You will design, implement, and optimize real-time navigation algorithms that deliver accurate, resilient localization across GPS-challenged and adversarial environments. In this role, you will work across GNSS, inertial navigation, multi-sensor fusion, timing and observability pipelines, and robust state estimation systems, collaborating closely with autonomy, software, controls, and hardware teams to bring next-generation navigation solutions into production UAV platforms.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Research, design, and implement state estimation algorithms, including advanced GNSS/INS fusion, and robust filtering approaches.
- Develop high-reliability navigation pipelines integrating GNSS, IMUs/inertial sensors, magnetometers, barometers, LiDAR, Radar, and other sensing modalities.
- Build algorithms and tooling for GNSS integrity monitoring, spoofing/jamming detection, signal qualit...
