$130,000.00/yr - $170,000.00/yr Bits to Atoms has partnered with Solideon to fill its Sensor Fusion Software Engineer role. To learn more about Solideon, you can review their website here. Company Overview : Solideon is a leader in advanced manufacturing, leveraging robotics and proprietary technology to build autonomous micro-factories capable of producing, assembling, and inspecting entire structures without human intervention. We aim to push the boundaries of manufacturing to shape a future where technology and humanity intersect. Position Overview : The Sensor Fusion Software Engineer will design, develop, and deploy advanced sensor fusion algorithms and distributed data pipelines to integrate diverse sensor modalities into a unified framework powering real-time robotic control, weld quality monitoring, and adaptive manufacturing in steel 3D welding additive manufacturing. This role focuses on backend robotics software to bridge simulation and real robotic systems. Working cross functionally with robotics, software, manufacturing, and system engineering teams, and head of engineering, the engineer will build robust sensor fusion pipelines that transform raw sensor data into actionable insights and closed-loop control strategies, driving innovation in autonomous, quality-assured additive manufacturing. Responsibilities : Sensor Fusion Algorithm Development : Design, implement and test sensor fusion algorithms (e.g., Extended Kalman Filters (EKF), Particle Filters (PF), Bayesian Networks, AI/ML models) to combine multi-modal data for precise, real-time robotic perception and control in additive manufacturing. Fuse proprioceptive (encoders, IMU) and exteroceptive sensors (vision, force/torque, thermocouples) for applications (e.g., weld seam tracking, quality monitoring, adaptive toolpath adjustments). Collaborate on multi-modal sensor tasks (e.g., 3D point cloud analysis with PCL/Open3D and computer vision with OpenCV) to detect defects and monitor interpass cooling. Robotics Middleware & Backend Software Integration : Develop and maintain ROS2 backend applications managing multi-sensor data acquisition, fusion, and integration with robot control loops (e.g., KUKA, Fanuc) Build and maintain sensor drivers, perform sensor calibration, data synchronization, and apply preprocessing algorithms to ensure high-fidelity, time-aligned sensor streams. Design event-driven, distributed data pipelines (e.g., RabbitMQ, MQTT, Apache NiFi, Apache MiNiFi) to handle sensor fusion outputs and robotic workflow orchestration. Collaborate on system integration, spanning robot simulation environments (e.g., RViz, Gazebo, Grasshopper3D) to real-world hardware deployments. Toolpath and Workflow Integration : Develop closed-loop toolpath adaptations and workflow enhancements by sensor fusion insights with CAD/CAM tools like Grasshopper3D, enabling real-time additive manufacturing corrections. Contribute to system components generating and simulating welding toolpaths informed by fused sensor data. Create scalable backend solutions for time-series sensor data storage (e.g., TimescaleDB, QuestDB), calibration, and asynchronous multi-rate data synchronization. Interface with full stack software engineers to extend real-time monitoring dashboard and visualization tools (ReactJS + Websockets), providing operators with fused data insights such as thermal maps, print metrics, defect overlays, and process deviations. Contribute to reusable fusion libraries, maintain technical documentation, prepare API specifications, and uphold best practices in code quality, testing, and version control. Stay updated on the latest sensor fusion research and technologies to propose innovative solutions enhancing additive manufacturing and quality assurance. Qualifications : Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Robotics, AI or related field. 2 - 5 years
