Research Engineer (LWIR Perception & UAV State Estimation)

Job Title: Research Engineer (LWIR Perception & UAV State Estimation) University-Level Unit: College of Design and Engineering Faculty/Department-Level Unit: Electrical and Computer Engineering Employee Category: Research Staff Location_ONB: Kent Ridge Campus Posting Start Date: 22/04/2026 Job Description A Research Engineer position is open at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, National University of Singapore (NUS). The Research Engineer will work closely with the Principal Investigator (PI) on the project on Long-Wave Infrared (LWIR) Imaging for Autonomous Navigation. The position focuses on developing robust perception, state estimation, and odometry algorithms using LWIR (thermal) imaging for UAVs operating under degraded visual conditions, such as low illumination, smoke, fog, and texture-sparse environments. The Research Engineer will design and implement LWIR-based odometry and thermal-inertial state estimation frameworks, including m...
