What does a navigation estimation engineer do?

A Navigation Estimation Engineer develops algorithms and systems that enable vehicles or devices to accurately determine their position, orientation, and velocity. This often involves working with sensors such as GPS, inertial measurement units (IMUs), and cameras, and applying techniques like sensor fusion and Kalman filtering. These engineers are vital in fields like aerospace, autonomous vehicles, robotics, and maritime navigation. Their work ensures that machines can navigate safely and efficiently in complex environments.
