Job Description
Job Description
HRL Laboratories, an IBM company, pioneers the next frontiers of physical and information science. Delivering transformative technologies in automotive, aerospace and defense, HRL advances the critical missions of its customers to help them remove limitations and create competitive advantage. HRL then transitions the work back to customers – ready for real-world application. For more than 70 years, HRL’s rich portfolio of scientific discoveries and engineering innovations continues to build on each other — often in unexpected, profound and far-reaching ways. As a private company owned by IBM, HRL prioritizes purpose over profit, significantly advancing the state of the art.
HRL's compact, high-performance MEMS IMUs are revolutionizing navigation systems by delivering reliable guidance in GPS-degraded environments. Engineered with navigation-grade precision, these IMUs provide a cost-effective and scalable solution for automotive, aerospace, and other demanding applications where traditional GPS reliance falls short.
These innovations aim to deliver a first-of-its-kind navigation-grade product that combines reliability, precision, and affordability. By offering a viable alternative to traditional IMUs, HRL's MEMS technology is advancing the capabilities of autonomous systems and enabling precise navigation in challenging environments.
Essential Duties:
• Lead end to end IMU evaluation and characterization tasks supporting prototyping, product development, and sustainment, with emphasis on maturing hardware for transition out of R&D
• Define and execute characterization strategies across environmental, dynamic, and operational conditions, including building and automating hands on test setups (temperature, vibration, shock)
• Analyze performance data to identify key drivers, validate models, and perform root cause investigations of anomalies, and drift behaviors.
• Drive sustaining and maturation activities, failure analysis, yield trends, and iterative improvement of prototypes and engineering builds
• Develop lab infrastructure and supporting scripts for evaluation, characterization, and validation of products; build automation frameworks in Python / MATLAB / Simulink
• Lead system level validation by defining test plans, developing pass/fail criteria, and ensuring release readiness through robust test coverage and reproducible results
• Partner cross functionally to ensure requirements flow down, system integration readiness, and technical documentation needed for smooth transition to low rate production
• Maintain configuration control, support engineering change processes, and prepare prototypes and early production IMUs for external evaluation and qualification
Required Qualifications:
• Bachelors, master’s or Ph.D. in relevant field
• 5+ years hands on experience owning sensor development, including prototype bring up, hardware/firmware integration, performance validation, and schematic-level hardware design and debug
• Experience managing production and test documentation as well as requirements validation and artifact production
• Strong understanding of inertial sensor performance (bias, noise, stability) and their interaction with filtering and compensation algorithms
• Experience with IMU test equipment (vibration systems, shock testers, rate tables, centrifuges, thermal chambers) and test automation/instrumentation interfaces
• Proficiency with MATLAB, Python, LabVIEW, or similar for data analysis and automation
• Strong hardware fundamentals (analog, digital, mixed signal, power)
• Working knowledge of microcontrollers/SoCs, ADCs/DACs, and serial interfaces (I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, Ethernet)
Preferred Qualifications:
• Experience owning IMU or MEMS development, including prototype bring up, hardware/firmware integration, and performance validation
• Hands on experience with GNC integration, test and evaluation
• Experience with Xilinx Vivado, UltraScale architectures, or ASIC platforms
• Experience with schematic design tools like Altium Designer
Special Requirements:
US citizenship with the ability to obtain and maintain a US Government security clearance
