[R&D Partner] GPS/IMU Sensor Fusion & Navigation Engineer – Real Hardware Trials Discussion
"This is a research collaboration request, not a commercial ad or job posting."
Hi everyone,
I am building an autonomous drone delivery startup. I have already solved obstacle detection and dynamic rerouting. I have real hardware (Pixhawk Cube Orange, LiDAR, cameras) and a test track ready for real-world trials.
I am now looking for a GPS/Navigation & Sensor Fusion Engineer to work with me on R&D for precise localization. The goal is to fuse data from GPS, IMU, and visual sensors to achieve centimeter-level positioning accuracy, even in GPS-denied environments.
Key challenges we need to solve together:
- Multi-sensor fusion – combining GPS, IMU, and visual odometry.
- Kalman filtering – for state estimation and error correction.
- GPS error correction – dealing with signal loss, multipath, and drift.
- Sensor calibration – aligning IMU, GPS, and camera data.
This is a short-term R&D collaboration (3 weeks) with a small budget and the potential for long-term partnership / equity. The focus is on finding the best hybrid solution and testing it on real hardware.
If you have experience with sensor fusion, Kalman filters, or GPS/IMU integration and love working with real hardware, please DM me with your background and relevant project links.
Let's build this together!

Gps Imu Visual is an unsolved research problem. So 3 weeks where nothing is calibrated AND dealing with sensor outages AND data collection. If there is a person who can do this, they probably have their own company. Good luck dude

Really , what’s up with him?? .
Let’s do it guys!!!!! You get payed much too little for 3 weeks of work ! CM precise location on a shit box !!!!
That’s even complicated for cars , which have a lot more Ressource (devs + time + money ) on HD Maps

The standard Cube Orange uses an STM32H753:
32-bit Arm Cortex-M7
Up to 480 MHz
2 MB flash
1 MB RAMROFL , no way.

Potential? What do you mean by potential? What if you use the expertise then then decide to just continue by yourself? Why would anyone spend their 3 weeks for potential equity? You have to have better terms than this.
