Key Responsibilities

  • Develop algorithm to detect jamming, spoofing, and blocking for GNSS data using hierarchical fusion of different sensors data collected from a vehicle OBU.
  • Tracking algorithm to positively identify if users are driving on the roads and possibly engaging in malicious activities.
  • Develop INS based dead reckoning algorithm using Kalman Filter variants.
  • Design methods for extraction of map features and blind search to identify road segments based on INS-only data.
  • Work on AI based multimodal data fusion and tracking algorithms for robust, high accuracy, real-time vehicle positioning in GNSS-challenged urban environments using multimodal data including GNSS, INS, V2X and others.
  • Design test cases and conduct field trials to validate the algorithm performance for detection of malicious activities and improved vehicle positioning including problematic sites like carparks, urban canyon, tunnel, etc.
  • Experience in large-scale data mining and spatio-temporal analysis of raw GNSS data from road users to characterize signal quality and positioning performance across the road network.
  • Derive high quality road segments by analysing attributes like DOP, SNR, and snapping distances to map links.
  • Develop algorithms for charging point design, selection and quality assessment.
  • Conduct root cause analysis for low accuracy charging points.

Requirements

  • Strong software development skills in C++ and Python.
  • Hands-on experience with system design, modular architecture, and interfacing between multiple components.
  • Familiarity with AI-assisted development workflows, including the use of AI tools for software development lifecycle (SDLC) automation to accelerate solution development.
  • Ability to engage with stakeholders to formulate a comprehensive list of use cases and system requirements.
  • Experience in system architecture design for integrated software solutions for the research outcomes.
  • Expertise in data analytics and signal processing algorithms, with demonstrated ability to apply machine learning and AI techniques to real world problems.
