Flyability, based in Paudex, CH, seeks a Senior Robotics Engineer to develop real-time SLAM and state-estimation systems for inspection drones. The role involves sensor fusion, algorithm optimization, and field testing, with a hybrid work model and strong collaboration across teams.
This position is part of the Autonomy team and focuses on creating real-time SLAM and state-estimation systems for inspection drones. It requires close collaboration with perception, autonomy, and product teams, as well as regular testing in real-world environments.
Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and optimize real-time SLAM and state-estimation systems for deployment on drones
- Develop sensor fusion algorithms integrating LiDAR, IMU, and camera data for accurate localization
- Test and debug localization and mapping performance in simulation and real-world conditions
- Support mapping and reconstruction pipelines for inspection outputs, including photogrammetry and digital twins
- Work closely with perception, autonomy, and product teams to ensure system robustness and integration
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience developing SLAM or state-estimation systems for real-world robotics applications
- Strong grasp of robotics fundamentals including Kalman filtering, sensor fusion, feature matching, pose graph optimization, and 3D orientation representations (quaternions, Euler angles)
- Proven experience with place recognition and loop closure detection techniques
- Hands-on experience with LiDAR, IMU, and camera data, including multi-sensor fusion for reliable estimation
- Application of machine learning in localization or mapping, such as learned features, pose networks, or depth prediction
- Proficiency in C++, Rust, and/or Python with solid software engineering practices
- Familiarity with semantic mapping systems
- Ability to debug complex robotic systems in the field and contribute to real-world testing and deployment
- Fluent English communication skills
Nice to have
- Experience working with drones or embedded robotic platforms
- French language skills
