Job Description

Responsibilities:

Model & Innovate: Architect and develop AI-driven models for indoor localization, including fingerprinting, similarity scoring, probabilistic grid-cell prediction, and lightweight sensor fusion

Understand the Physics: Build and refine path-loss, RF propagation, and multipath-aware models to improve accuracy, robustness, and stability

Extract the Signal: Apply advanced signal processing techniques, filtering, smoothing, noise reduction, time-series modeling to transform raw RF and IMU data into high-quality features.

Fuse Intelligence: Combine Wi-Fi RSSI, BLE RSSI, RTT timestamps, and IMU patterns to produce hybrid models that outperform single-sensor approaches.

Experiment Relentlessly: Evaluate accuracy using ground-truth traces, run controlled experiments, tune hyperparameters, and improve model confidence scoring.

Operationalize Intelligence: Deploy models into real-time scoring pipelines, collaborating with cloud engineering to ensure sub-100ms inference and large-scale reliability.

Collaborate & Elevate: Work closely with firmware, data, RF, QA, and product teams. Mentor peers in algorithmic reasoning and modeling excellence

Qualifications:

Master’s degree with 6+ years of relevant work or a PhD (preferred) with 4+ years of professional experience in AI/ML, Electrical Engineering, CS, Applied Math, Robotics, or a related technical discipline.

RF & Sensors: Solid understanding of RF propagation, indoor multipath, path-loss modeling, and RTT distance estimation.

Signal Processing Specialist: Experience with filtering, Kalman/EMA smoothing, noise modeling, and time-series feature extraction.

Data Wrangler: Strong Matlab, Python skills (NumPy, SciPy, Pandas, scikit-learn) and experience working with Wi-Fi RSSI, BLE RSSI, RTT/FTM, IMU datasets.

AI/ML Engineer: Hands-on experience with clustering, probabilistic modeling, similarity metrics, and lightweight ML classification/regression.

Production Mindset: Experience deploying algorithms to real-time, enterprise-scale systems with tight latency constraints.

Algorithm Scientist Thinking: Able to analyze noisy data, design robust models, validate hypotheses, and convert prototypes into production-ready logic.

Target Base Salary Range: $140,000 - $160,000 USD
