About Forterra

About Forterra At Forterra, we are unleashing autonomy at scale to transform the battlefield. Backed by SoftBank VF.

About the role

Forterra is seeking a Localization Integration Engineer to help deploy and scale our navigation and localization software across new vehicle platforms and hardware configurations. This role is focused on integration, system-level debugging, platform bring-up, and interface development. You will work closely with our state estimation and navigation algorithm engineers to ensure our GNSS/INS-based localization stack performs reliably across diverse vehicles, sensors, and compute platforms. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Integrate Forterra’s localization software onto new vehicle platforms and compute environments
  • Bring up and validate new GNSS, IMU, encoder, and other navigation sensors
  • Develop and maintain hardware/software interfaces (e.g., encoder processor modules, new sensor drivers, communication interfaces)
  • Debug system-level issues across the stack — from sensor inputs through state estimation outputs
  • Support vehicle testing, data collection, and performance validation
  • Collaborate with state estimation engineers to tune configurations and resolve integration-specific issues
