  • Map based indoor navigation using sensor fusion
  • Development of the communication system for a fleet of moving bots in a challenging indoor environment


What you can bring


You will be a keen technologist, trusted to drive forward new capabilities and to lead high-performing teams. This will involve working as part of a dynamic team to engage with current and new clients to understand their needs and to develop and present technical proposals for how we can solve their challenges.


You will contribute to the Signal Processing department strategy, planning and activities to grow our business globally. As well as this, you will support our marketing activities as a credible thought-leader to promote our capabilities and encourage new client enquiries.
