Description
We are developing a next-generation C-UAS Multi-Agent System that integrates sensors, effectors, and multiple agents into a coherent system for monitoring, coordination, and control. Our system combines data from radar, EO/IR cameras, passive RF sensors, OSINT, and other sources to detect, track, and understand objects and activities in real time.
We are looking for a Sensor Fusion Engineer who enjoys working hands-on with real sensor data and takes ownership from sensor integration through algorithms, testing, and deployment. You will turn heterogeneous and imperfect sensor data into reliable tracks and actionable situational awareness.
Tasks
- Develop and implement multi-sensor fusion and tracking algorithms
- Integrate data from radar, cameras, passive RF, OSINT, and other sensors
- Develop methods for sensor registration, calibration, synchronization, data association, and track fusion
- Work with real-world sensor data, including recording, replay, visualization, and analysis
- Investigate sensor and tracking problems and identify their root causes
- Develop tools and processes to evaluate and improve fusion performance
- Integrate fusion components with the wider C-UAS system and downstream applications
- Take ownership of components from concept through implementation, integration, testing, and deployment
Requirements
Essential
- Professional experience with C++
- Practical experience in sensor fusion, perception, tracking, or multi-sensor integration
- Hands-on experience working with real sensor data
- Experience with multi-object tracking and methods such as Kalman filters, EKF/UKF, or related approaches
- Pragmatic engineering mindset and ability to solve problems independently
- Strong sense of ownership and initiative
- Ability to work effectively across disciplines
- Fluent in English; German is a plus
Valuable
- Experience with radar, EO/IR, passive RF, ADS-B, or OSINT
- Experience with track-to-track and measurement-level fusion
- Experience with geospatial data and coordinate transformations
- Experience with ROS2
- Skills for data analysis and visualization
- Experience with Linux, Docker, Git, and CI/CD
- Experience with autonomous systems, robotics, aerospace, defense, C-UAS, or other mission-critical systems
- Experience with simulation, hardware-in-the-loop, and field testing
What we are looking for
You like getting close to the actual data and the actual system. You enjoy investigating unexpected sensor behavior, debugging complex problems, and turning experiments into robust production software.
You are proactive and take ownership. When something does not work, you investigate it, identify the problem, drive the solution, and verify that it works in the real world.
At Alpine Eagle, we are committed to diversity and equal opportunity. We welcome applications from all individuals regardless of ethnic origin, gender, religion, disability, age, or sexual identity.
About this role
Alpine Eagle is building a counter-UAS system that fuses data from multiple sensor types—radar, EO/IR cameras, passive RF, and OSINT—to detect and track objects in real time. As a Sensor Fusion Engineer, you would own the core challenge of converting noisy, heterogeneous sensor data into reliable tracks and situational awareness. This means developing and implementing fusion and tracking algorithms, handling sensor registration and calibration, managing data association, and investigating why sensors and tracks behave unexpectedly in the field.
The role demands hands-on engagement with real sensor data from recording through replay, visualization, and analysis. You'll integrate fusion components into the wider C-UAS system, work across disciplines, and take components from concept all the way through testing and deployment. The work is pragmatic and problem-driven: you'll build tools to evaluate fusion performance, debug complex issues, and turn experiments into production software that works in the real world.
You should have professional C++ experience and practical background in sensor fusion, tracking, or multi-sensor integration—ideally with exposure to Kalman filters, EKF/UKF, or similar methods. Experience with specific sensor types (radar, EO/IR, passive RF) or geospatial data is valuable. The role suits someone who is proactive, independent, and genuinely interested in the data and the system itself, rather than someone looking for a narrowly scoped position. Fluent English is required; German is a plus. The position is full-time and in-office in Karlsruhe or Munich.
