Inertial Analyst - LORD Corporation, MicroStrain

Advertisement

     
LORD MicroStrain® makes sensors and systems that are used in a wide
range of applications. Our sensors have won numerous awards and we pride
ourselves on being innovative and responsive to our customer's unique
requirements.



Experienced analyst will work with Inertial Sensors product group. The
successful candidate will play a lead role in developing the next
generation of the inertial navigation algorithms used on our miniature
GPS/INS sensors. He/She will be an innovative, creative thinker with an
ability to work in a self-directed manner. The analyst will be
responsible for developing inertial navigation algorithms, creating
detailed sensor models, improving our all-up sensor simulation
capability, and validating all algorithms and models developed for our
high-performance, low-power AHRS and INS/GPS systems. In addition,
he/she will be partially responsible for the development of testing,
calibration, and validation tools and processes. The role will also
present opportunities for significant contributions to the design and
configuration of new sensors and the incorporation of cutting-edge
algorithms. Experience designing inertial navigation algorithms for a
resource-constrained processor is a strong plus.

Primary Responsibilities:
