🚀 Senior Sensor Fusion / FPGA Engineer

At SWARM Biotactics , we’re creating biorobots — living, intelligent systems based on insects. Each insect carries a custom-designed backpack that enables wireless control, sensing, and secure communication.

Biorobot swarms combine the agility of biology with AI, sensors, and swarm coordination — unlocking capabilities where conventional machines fail.

We are the only company in the world doing this — and we’re pushing the edge of what’s possible in every domain: from biology to embedded hardware to swarm intelligence.

We’re seeking a Senior Sensor Fusion / FPGA Engineer to join our onsite team and design the real-time data pipelines that give our biobots perception and awareness.

This is not a remote, abstract, or incremental role — it’s a hands‑on engineering challenge where you’ll shape the nervous system of a living robotic platform.

• Design and implement sensor fusion pipelines combining multimodal data (IMU, vision, biosignals, environmental sensing).
• Develop real‑time processing architectures on FPGAs and embedded platforms for ultra‑low‑latency integration.
• Collaborate closely with hardware, biology, and AI teams to translate raw data into control signals and behaviors.
• Prototype rapidly — test, measure, and iterate in the lab.
• Take ownership from algorithm to silicon — from concept to running system.
• Hold a Master’s or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or similar.
• Expert in FPGA development (VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog) and sensor fusion algorithms (Kalman filters, Bayesian estimation, signal processing) .
• Skilled in real‑time embedded systems , data acquisition, and synchronization.
• You love hands‑on work , daily collaboration, and cross‑domain problem solving.
• You’re a creator with ownership — autonomous, curious, and unafraid of unknowns.
• We’re well‑funded and expanding fast in a space no one else is in .
• You’ll join a world‑class team working on the frontier of science and engineering .
• Your work will directly define how biobots perceive and interact with the world.
