Sensor Fusion Software Engineer

PGS Worldwide is seeking a Sensor Fusion Software Engineer in Fort Worth, TX for a one-year contract-to-hire role supporting a leading aerospace & defense company.

The Sensor Fusion Software Engineer will support advanced sensor fusion, perception, autonomy, and embedded software development for fighter and unmanned platforms. This role focuses on developing flight-ready sensor fusion algorithms, building embedded C++ software for real-time operating systems, staging algorithms in high-fidelity simulations, and helping shape next-generation multi-platform fusion capabilities.

Required Skills
  • 5+ years of experience in sensor fusion sub-domains such as state estimation, identification, correlation, or sensor tasking; or strong experience across signal processing, artificial intelligence, autonomy/perception, navigation, or control systems in a sensor or systems application.
  • 5+ years of experience with algorithms used in development of sensor modes for RF and/or IR-based sensor systems.
  • 5+ years of experience with Visual Studio development.
  • 10+ years of experience with real-time operating systems development using C, C++, or Rust.
  • Windows and/or Linux development experience.
  • High-fidelity prototyping or simulation experience using MATLAB or Python.
  • Demonstrated success working in an Agile environment.
  • Strong embedded C++ software development experience.
  • Ability to develop operational, flight-ready sensor fusion software.
  • Ability to contribute to software requirements, algorithm design, mode development, design reviews, and testing.
  • Ability to work across fusion sub-disciplines to integrate algorithms into broader sensor fusion systems.
Preferred Skills
  • Experience with fighter aircraft, unmanned platforms, or advanced aerospace systems.
  • Experience with reusable multi-platform fusion engines.
  • Experience with autonomous decision-making software.
  • Experience with RF sensors, IR sensors, perception algorithms, embedded software, real-time systems, operational analysis, and simulation-based feasibility studies.
  • Experience serving as a subject matter expert in a sensor fusion, autonomy, perception, or algorithm development domain.
What You'll Do
  • Develop embedded C++ sensor fusion software products deployed across multiple platforms.
  • Support software running on real-time operating systems.
  • Develop and refine algorithms that enable aircraft-based fusion and autonomous decision-making.
  • Support sensor fusion sub-domains such as state estimation, identification, correlation, and sensor tasking.
  • Stage algorithms in high-fidelity simulation environments for feasibility studies and operational analysis.
  • Develop the vision for integrating new technologies, sensors, and capabilities into advanced aircraft programs.
  • Represent the organization as a subject matter expert in assigned sensor fusion domains.
  • Coordinate with other fusion sub-disciplines to ensure algorithm integration across core fusion capabilities.
  • Define pathways for incorporation into a reusable, next-generation multi-platform Fusion Engine.
  • Support requirements development, algorithm design, design reviews, software testing, and flight-ready implementation.
