Robotics State Estimation Engineer
Sensmore, Potsdam Office +1
About the job
sensmore is a Berlin/Potsdam-based robotics startup delivering production-proven automation for industries where the world’s raw materials are extracted, moved, and processed. Its automation system transforms heavy machines into intelligent, automated robots powered by Physical AI and vertically integrates them into the full production environment: from the machine and safety infrastructure to network infrastructure, site processes, and operational interfaces.
Co-developed with customers, sensmore is backed by Point Nine Capital, leading industry investors, the State of Brandenburg, and the European Union.
Role overview
As a State Estimation Engineer, you will design and deploy robust, fail-safe state estimation systems that enable autonomous heavy machinery to reliably estimate velocity, angular velocities, and local position in harsh, unstructured environments.
You will work at the intersection of robotics, perception, and control, transforming noisy multi-sensor data (wheel odometry, LiDAR, radar, IMU, GNSS) into accurate real-time estimates of the vehicle’s 3D state.
Key responsibilities
- Design state estimation systems: develop robust pipelines that estimate vehicle motion states (velocity, angular velocity, and position) in real time.
