## About the role

Inversion's vehicles do not fly through an empty sky. As the Staff GNC Engineer (State Estimation), you will give our vehicles an accurate, continuously updated picture of the world around them — estimating and predicting the state and behavior of friendly and non-cooperative systems external to the vehicle.

## What they're looking for

- Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, a related field, or equivalent experience
- Typically, 9+ years of applicable experience developing and testing estimation, tracking, or GNC algorithms and systems
- Experience with behavior or trajectory prediction for autonomous vehicles, robotics, or similar multi-agent domains, including probabilistic prediction of agent intent
- Experience with modern deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, JAX) and the infrastructure to train models at scale
- Experience estimating and tracking the state of dynamic objects from noisy, intermittent, or limited sensor data
- Experience training and implementing neural networks for prediction, tracking, or related applications
