At Hayden AI, we are on a mission to harness the power of computer vision to transform the way transit systems and other government agencies address real-world challenges.
From bus lane and bus stop enforcement to transportation optimization technologies and beyond, our innovative mobile perception system empowers our clients to accelerate transit, enhance street safety, and drive toward a sustainable future.
What the job involves
As a Senior State Estimation Engineer at Hayden AI, you will be asked to derive and implement novel real-time pose estimation algorithms. Research, develop and implement algorithms to solve large-scale mapping. Collaborate with other engineers to develop algorithms for in-situ and in-factory multi-sensor calibration.
Responsibilities
Contribute to high impact, multidisciplinary projects across teams
Program and develop software in C++ and/or python
Derive and implement novel, real-time pose estimation algorithms
Research, develop and implement algorithms to solve problems such as large-scale mapping, probabilistic object tracking, online/offline sensor calibration and/or vision-based localization
Collaborate with deep learning, device, and cloud teams to improve overall system architectures
Provide mentorship to our junior engineers
Required Qualifications
Master of Science degree or the foreign equivalent in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Robotics, Machine Learning, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or a related field.

Retirement Support — A 401(k) plan with an employer match is repeatedly cited as a standard component of the package. The presence of a stated match suggests a more structured retirement benefit than many early-stage startups.
Hayden AI Insights
What We Do
Artificial intelligence is already impacting almost every aspect of our lives. But cities still rely on outdated technologies that are too expensive to scale and unable to deliver on their promise. As a result, streets are becoming unsafe, and cities are becoming unmanageable. Hayden AI was founded on the belief that by combining mobile sensors with artificial intelligence, we can help governments bridge the innovation gap while making traffic flow less dangerous and more efficient. Led by a team of experts in machine learning, data science, transportation, and government technology, we’ve developed the world’s first autonomous traffic management platform — simultaneously serving citizens and multi-agency missions to help cities become safer and more sustainable.
