About the Company

TDK-Trusted Positioning is a world leader in sensor software solutions that enable navigation and positioning in areas where traditional wireless systems, such as GNSS, do not work. TDK-Trusted Positioning is focused on creating sensor software solutions that provide continuous, accurate and affordable navigation and context for smartphones, wearables, vehicles, drones, robots, or anything else that moves. Our vision is to provide positioning everywhere by sensing and fusion everything. Become part of the TDK-Trusted Positioning team and enjoy working on exciting leading-edge navigation technologies for a variety of platforms. We are looking for an energetic, self-motivated, and fast learning individual with the following background.

About the Job

We are seeking a Positioning Algorithm Developer with a background in geomatics engineering, computer engineering, electrical engineering, or computer science. The successful candidate will work in the Engineering team and design algorithms and software for navigation systems using multiple sensors and technologies. They should have experience in developing commercial positioning software algorithms.

The successful candidate will work in the engineering team and be responsible for:

Receiving broadly defined product requirements and conceptual ideas, and applying sound engineering principles to create a development plan to solve positioning problems for a wide range of use cases Defining performance targets and testing requirements for verifying new algorithms Providing reliable solutions to a variety of positioning problems using sound problem solving techniques Defining general approaches and specific solutions to state-of-the-art problems while applying extensive technical expertise and analysis Collaborating with colleagues on software and algorithm design approaches and implementations Researching problems, identifying error sources, and implementing appropriate algorithmic solutions to address positioning performance deficiencies Designing advanced positioning algorithms using GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) and IMU (Inertial Measurement Units) Designing, implementing, and documenting complex software applications using C and C++ for use in embedded systems Using Python to automate data analysis of large amounts of data to verify new and existing algorithms Contributing to peer reviews of software designs, algorithm designs and software
implementation
