5+ years expDyna Robotics is a company focused on redefining robotic automation through its advanced AI-driven robots. They are seeking a State Estimation Engineer to develop estimation systems that enable robots to perceive their state in dynamic environments, utilizing both classical techniques and learning-based approaches.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)Information TechnologyMachine LearningRobotics
Responsibilities
Build core estimation systems
Design and implement state estimation algorithms (EKF, UKF, factor graphs, optimization-based methods) for localization, pose tracking, and contact estimation
Develop sensor fusion pipelines integrating IMUs, encoders, force/torque sensors, cameras, and LiDAR
Own visual state estimation (VIO, visual SLAM) and LiDAR-based localization
Own the full stack from prototype to production
Build calibration systems, diagnostics tools, and validation benchmarks
Own estimation for both production robots and data collection tools
Decide when to ship a robust classical solution now versus invest in a learned approach
Experiment with learning-based estimation (learned dynamics, neural filtering) to complement classical methods
Collaborate with AI and hardware teams on sensor selection and integration
Qualification
Required
5+ years building state estimation systems on physical robots (not just simulation)
Deep expertise in sensor fusion, visual or LiDAR-based localization, and filtering/optimization methods
Strong foundation in probability, linear algebra, optimization, and 3D geometry
Proficiency in C++ for real-time systems; Python for tooling
Track record of taking an estimation system from prototype to production deployment
Preferred
MS or PhD with research focus on state estimation, SLAM, VIO, or sensor fusion
Experience with manipulation or high-DOF robotic systems
Hands-on experience with learning-based estimation or differentiable filtering
Contributions to open-source robotics or publications (ICRA, IROS, RSS)
