Job description

Job Description
Location: Southeastern, United States
Transform Maritime Autonomy with Cutting-Edge AI/ML
Are you an experienced Perception & Sensor Fusion Engineer ready to revolutionize marine technology? Join Tocaro Blue, where your expertise in perception and localization will shape the future of maritime perception and autonomous navigation.
With Tocaro Blue, as a Senior Perception and Sensor Fusion Engineer, you'll be at the forefront of developing the intelligent systems that will power autonomous marine operations. Working within an elite team of 3-5 engineers, you will architect and implement the next generation of our software products that support marine autonomy: multi-target tracking, sensor fusion (especially using marine Radar and EO/IR cameras), localization in GPS-denied environments, and path-planning.
The users of our perception software products include the developers of Autonomous Surface Vehicles (ASVs) supporting the US Navy as well as major marine electronic manufacturers (OEM) for recreational ADAS and autopilot applications. Whereas automotive automation like lane-keeping and driver assistance are becoming universal, the Marine environment poses unique challenges that are not yet solved. Tocaro Blue provides a rare opportunity for you to help define the autonomy roadmap for an entire industry. Your work will evolve from creating perception systems for situational awareness to developing obstacle avoidance systems, and ultimately full autonomous control systems for marine vessels.
What You'll Pioneer
  • Design and optimize multi-target tracking systems for maritime targets
  • Create target motion models to enhance target tracking using parameter estimation.
  • Develop Radar-based global localization and SLAM against reference cartography
  • Deploy high-performance tracking and SLAM algorithms on real-time edge hardware using optimized C++ implementations
  • Create robust sensor fusion algorithms for precise vessel localization combining GPS, IMU, and signals of opportunity, ensuring real-time inference capabilities in challenging maritime conditions
  • Build global path-planning and local obstacle avoidance techniques for over-the-horizon autonomous routing.

Required Qualifications:
  • Advanced degree (MS/PhD) in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, or related technical field
  • 7+ years of hands-on experience applying parameter and state estimation, dead-reckoning and localization, and sensor fusion to dynamic systems (graduate research counts if directly applicable)
  • Proven track record through Master's thesis, dissertation, or commercial projects demonstrating mastery of both localization and target tracking.
  • Expert-level C++ development backed by python and/or MATLAB prototyping.

Preferred Expertise:
  • Experience optimizing and deploying localization, fusion, and tracking models to edge computing platforms using C++
  • Portfolio of personal projects or research solving complex real-world problems through software innovation
  • Background in automotive or marine systems, robotics, or other autonomous vehicle development
  • Passion for pushing the boundaries of what's achievable with sensor fusion in challenging environments
  • Design-of-experiment for perception and fusion system testing and evaluation.

Why Tocaro Blue?
Competitive Compensation & Growth:
  • $130,000-$150,000 base salary with potential for equity in a rapidly growing company
  • Comprehensive benefits: 401(k) with 4% company matching, full health/dental/vision coverage, life and disability insurance, and generous PTO
  • Continuous learning through training programs and conference attendance

Innovation-First Culture:
  • Direct impact on defining the future of maritime autonomy
  • Access to challenging real-world problems that push the limits of current Marine Autonomy capabilities
  • Collaborative environment with top-tier engineers and researchers

Work Environment:
  • Engineering office in Birmingham, AL
  • Engaging fieldwork opportunities with monthly data collection trips to our Pensacola, Florida testing facility
  • Work-life balance that supports both innovation and personal growth
