Indoor Localization and Navigation Researcher

Project Description:

Indoor Localization, Tracking, and Navigation

Key Responsibilities: 

  • Basic research leading to the development of novel indoor localization and tracking methods, algorithms, and systems
  • Evaluate the performance of such methods, algorithms, and systems via modeling and simulation
  • Performance evaluation via the development of system prototypes, when warranted
  • Test and evaluation of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) indoor localization solutions
  • Literature survey of pedestrian navigation techniques in indoor environments
  • Assessment of the efficacy of 5G wireless technology and indoor localization techniques, particularly in the context of public safety scenarios
  • Read scholarly papers on indoor localization and understand their contributions and how the proposed systems work
  • Write code for modeling, simulation, and performance evaluation of indoor localization systems
  • Develop novel indoor localization systems
  • Publish the research results and make technical presentations on the work done
  • Ensure that results, protocols, software, and documentation have been archived or otherwise transmitted to the larger organization

Desired Qualifications: 

  • U.S. Citizen preferred
  • Ph.D in electrical engineering, computer science, or other related fields is preferred but not required
  • Knowledge of wireless communications, digital signal processing, and computer algorithms is required
  • Proficiency in programming languages such as C/C++, Python, and MATLAB is required, along with good computing skills
  • Strong oral and written communication skills
  • The ability to develop prototypes of indoor localization systems is a plus

Other Details:

  • Full-time: the participant is expected to work 40 hours a week
  • Location: the participant will work at the NIST Gaithersburg, MD and/or the Boulder, CO campus
  • Duration: this is expected to be a one-year position. Extensions are sometimes granted depending on the availability of funds.
