We study the optimization landscape of low-tubal-rank tensor sensing through a balanced factorization. Under a tubal restricted isometry condition, we establish a quantitative strict-saddle landscape with no spurious local minima for arbitrary Fourier multi-rank profiles. We further show that the local geometry depends on the Fourier-slice ranks rather than the tubal rank alone. Uniform ranks yield quadratic growth transverse to the solution orbit, whereas nonuniform ranks produce quartically flat directions through hidden frequency-wise overparameterization, even when the factor width equals the exact tubal rank. Numerical experiments illustrate the global optimization behavior and the contrasting local geometries.
