Senior Robotics Engineer - State Estimation, VIO & Sensor Fusion

Promethion Industries is a European defence technology company building autonomous supremacy systems for aerial and multi-domain operations. Our mission is to enable decisive autonomy for NATO-aligned forces through tightly integrated autonomy stacks designed and built in Europe. Our focus is defensive and counter-system capabilities, including anti-UAS and resilient autonomy under contested conditions.

We are looking for a Senior Robotics Engineer - State Estimation, VIO & Sensor Fusion to build the estimation backbone that allows our aircraft to understand their own motion without depending on GNSS.

Your mission with us

Build the state-estimation and sensor-fusion backbone of our autonomous aerial systems.

Develop robust vehicle-state estimation for high-dynamic flight and GNSS-degraded or GNSS-denied environments.

Fuse IMUs, cameras, optical flow, airspeed, GNSS, barometers and other sensors into reliable low-latency estimates.

Develop, integrate and deploy VIO, visual odometry, ego-motion optical flow and inertial-estimation approaches.

Own temporal calibration, sensor synchronisation, coordinate frames and estimator consistency.

Diagnose drift, bias, observability and timing problems from first principles.

Work directly with real flight logs and hardware to reproduce estimator failures and rapidly improve performance.

Build graceful degradation when individual sensors become unreliable or unavailable.

Quantify estimator uncertainty and
