   who at QUIK reads all their info….this guy
   
   
   Thirty-Nine Associate Members
   Quicklogic
   
   from the dusty archives to reread
   
   
   
   Senior Staff Algorithm Engineer (Pedestrian and Hybrid Positioning)
   

   • Sunnyvale, CA
   • Full-time

   
   
   Job Description
   The senior staff algorithm engineer plays a key role in developing advanced Pedestrian Dead Reckoning (PDR) algorithms on QuickLogic’s sensor hub for smartphone and wearable. Strong algorithm development experience, with the ability to collaborate with multi-disciplined engineering teams, is required for success in this position.
   
   Key result areas for this position are: 
   
   
   
   

   • Develop, enhance and maintain advanced sensor algorithms focusing on Pedestrian Dead Reckoning (PDR) on QuickLogic’s smart-sensor CSSP products for mobile platforms

   • Key member of the team for full development cycle of sensor algorithm development: requirements and specifications, simulation, efficient implementation, system integration, optimization and testing

   • Responsible for developing data collection and testing methodology for sensor fusion and PDR algorithms. Provide guidance for the sensor data collection operation and sensor algorithm testing implementation

   • Support marketing, field, and engineering team in engagement with key customers to ensure successful integration, qualification and deployment of QuickLogic’s smart sensor into mobile platforms

   
   
   Key Activities/Tasks for these positions are:
   
   
   
   

   • Work closely with sensor hub architects and other team members for developing advanced Sensor fusion and PDR algorithms

   • The development activities include algorithm modeling and simulation, implementation using C and Assembly, performance tuning for various use cases, optimization for memory footprint and computation load

   • The development activities also include design and implementation of the testing method and apparatus for sensor fusion, inertial navigation and PDR algorithm. Design and implement the sensor data collection, visualization and annotation for sensor fusion and PDR algorithms and other algorithms.

   • The engineer will work closely with firmware, software and hardware team for system level design, implementation, integration, testing and deployment

   • In this role, the engineer will work with our partners, customers, and engineering teams for generating the technical requirements and generating the system and algorithm specifications for smart sensor CSSP products.

   • The engineer will support the teams and activities for key customer engagement to ensure key design wins and successful integration, qualification and deployment of the smart sensor CSSP products.

   Qualifications
   
   
   

   • MS with 10+ years in electrical engineering or computer science is required. PhD with 7+ years in electrical engineering or computer science is preferred
   • Expert level in algorithm development in the area of modern estimation theory, including Kalman filtering, automatic control and system theory, digital signal processing. Familiar with algorithm development tools such as Matlab and Simulink.
   • Experience in efficient implementation of floating point and fixed point algorithms in firmware, software and hardware.
   • Demonstrated ability to successfully complete complex R&D technology projects
   • Must be able to work in team environment

   
   
   The following experience is highly desired:
   
   

   • Prior experience in the following related areas: indoor positioning systems (using inertial sensors, magnetometers, and pressure sensor, as well as information from wireless local area network, IR and RF transponders, and ultra-wideband (UWB) networks, 2D and 3D active and passive imaging sensors, and map database), simultaneous localization and map database (SLAM), sensor fusion algorithm using motion sensors, user context and positioning system such as GNSSs, WiFi and BLE beacons, integrated personal navigation in the mixed indoor-outdoor environments, inertial navigation, and GPS
   • System architecture experience

   this was filled a loooong time ago. see how complex this thing is. if you talk to quick, ask around this topic.
   
   
   so this tiny little nugget is a nice find for me.
   
   Why? It answers how we can do this complex thing. They participate, they contribute, they listen, and they talk. Does NOT happen over night, but they have been at it for some time now.
   
   QUIK increasingly is a diversified investment. Sensory is a 10% diversification for me. This previously unknown membership-never spoken of- means they continue to work quietly, quietly but very hard on various compute intense algorithms. Stuff like this will just shine on the Eos.
   
   Thanks QUIK for your hard stinting effort on this Indoor location. Thanks for hiring this guy so loooooong ago.
   
   So to the forum. They have been at this a good bit of time now

   so lets take this snip from their formation
   
   
   The alliance promotes indoor positioning solutions that offer high-accuracy, low-power consumption,
   
   
   
   mobility, and usability for consumers and enterprises alike. Its work includes facilitation for pre-commercial pilot programs, business and use case verification, system architecture, and industry collaboration.
   
   
   Now they are probably already in a pilot 2nd gen, have some nice industry collaboration,
   gonna sleep better as this was like audio for me. SOOOOOOO important, and who would have the other pieces of the puzzle?
   
   The other members of inlocation. Sweet.
   
   this snip from that job…
   
   with the ability to collaborate with multi-disciplined engineering teams,
   
   i thought it was Quik teams,but it for the teams formed in this alliance?
   
   for a tiny biz Quik is doing very important stuff that most know nothing of.
   but the forum readers now know the rest of the story

   we are an associate member so what does that mean?
   
   
   Becoming a Member of InLocation Alliance
   There are three levels of ILA Membership:
   
   Charter Members can be elected to the Board of Directors and can vote in Working Groups.
   
   Contributor Members can vote for Board of Directors and in Working Groups.
   
   Associate Members can participate in Working Group s and other ILA events.
   
   
   So we know a lot. talk to the right people, and have for a while. IF this becomes ubiquitous, it can become another engine in a future Eos.
