Role summary

Seeking an Embedded Software Engineer with 3+ years of experience to design, develop, and optimize C/C++ code for motion sensing and positioning algorithms. The role involves enhancing software performance, tuning algorithm parameters, and building data analysis tools. Responsibilities include contributing to navigation techniques like pedestrian/vehicular navigation, dead reckoning, sports activity tracking, and GNSS-based positioning, as well as advanced methods like PPP and RTK. The engineer will collaborate cross-functionally, document technical findings, and support customer engagements. A Master's degree in a related engineering field is required, with a PhD being preferred. Proficiency in C/C++, Kalman filtering, GNSS/MEMS integration, sensor fusion, and development tools like Git is essential.

Job Description

  • Design, develop, and optimize C/C++ code for motion sensing and positioning algorithms within embedded software solutions.
  • Enhance software performance by improving code efficiency, reducing footprint, and optimizing CPU and memory utilization.
  • Fine-tune algorithm parameters to meet customer requirements and improve key performance indicators (KPIs).
  • Build and maintain tools to support data analysis and performance evaluation.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with internal and external teams to deliver high-quality product outcomes.
  • Document and present detailed technical reports covering algorithms, software performance, and testing results.
  • Contribute to algorithm development in areas such as pedestrian and vehicular navigation, dead reckoning (DR), sports activity tracking, and GNSS-based positioning in challenging environments.
  • Work on advanced navigation techniques including precise GNSS solutions like PPP and RTK to enhance system accuracy and performance.
  • Travel domestically and internationally as needed to support customer engagements and collaborate with global teams.

Requirements

  • Master’s degree with 3+ years of experience, or PhD (preferred) in Electrical Engineering, Geomatics, Applied Physics, Aeronautical Engineering, or related fields.
  • Strong experience in embedded software development using C/C++, with prototyping skills in Python or MATLAB.
  • Hands-on expertise in motion sensor software, Kalman filtering, GNSS/MEMS integration, and sensor fusion techniques.
  • Proficiency with development tools such as Jira, Gerrit, and Git.
  • Ability to analyze complex systems, identify issues, and drive performance improvements.
  • Strong debugging and problem-solving skills.
  • Familiarity with Vision-Inertial Odometry (VIO) is a plus.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
  • Self-motivated, quick learner, and capable of working independently as well as collaboratively in a team environment. #IT
