Your role as a Computer Vision Engineer at Xsens

As a Computer Vision Engineer, you will be at the heart of our effort to expand Xsens' positioning and localization capabilities, moving beyond inertial-only solutions toward full visual-inertial systems.

You will research, prototype, and deploy algorithms for Visual-Inertial Odometry (VIO), SLAM, and 6-DoF pose estimation, bringing together our IMU technologies with camera-based perception capabilities. You will be part of the Technology team and report to the Technology Manager. You will be based in Enschede, the Netherlands, with the possibility of hybrid working.

We actively leverage Generative AI tools to accelerate development and improve quality. You are expected to embrace these tools as part of your workflow and continuously explore how they can enhance development, experimentation, and performance. Key responsibilities:

Design and implement state-of-the-art VIO and SLAM pipelines, combining inertial sensor data with monocular or stereo camera inputs.

Develop and maintain camera models, calibration routines, and sensor synchronization pipelines across multiple hardware configurations.

Apply optimization techniques and filtering methods to achieve robust and accurate 6-DoF pose estimation.

Stay current with the computer vision and research landscape and assess the feasibility of integrating new techniques into Xsens products.

Collaborate closely with hardware, firmware, and software teams to deliver end-to-end perception solutions.
