About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Design, build and qualify production calibration benches for cameras, IMUs and lidars
Define and run sensor validation test plans, including characterization, temperature, shock and vibration tests
Analyze flight-test data
Own calibration procedures and acceptance criteria for intrinsic, extrinsic, IMU and camera-IMU calibration, including uncertainty estimation
Serve as the team's reference on inertial sensors, including IMU selection, error modeling, vibration isolation and mounting
Integrate sensors mechanically with the mechanical team, including mounting, alignment, thermal behavior, sealing and field of view
Transfer calibration and end-of-line tests to manufacturing
Analyze production data to maintain process control
Build calibration benches and test procedures that are repeatable in production

Requirements

What you’ll need

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechatronics, Mechanical or Electrical Engineering, Physics, Robotics, or a related field
5+ years of experience in sensor test, calibration, metrology or system validation, including at least one calibration or test bench delivered into production
Hands-on experience designing test setups and fixtures for electromechanical systems and running environmental tests (temperature, shock, vibration)
Experience with inertial sensors: IMU characterization, Allan variance, error modeling, vibration isolation
Experience with camera or lidar calibration (intrinsic, extrinsic, camera-IMU) and associated targets and tooling
