Job Description

About the Company

TDK Canada 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 Canada is focused on creating sensor software solutions that provide continuous, accurate and affordable navigation for vehicles, smartphones, wearables, drones, robots, or anything else that moves. Our vision is to provide positioning everywhere by sensing everything.

This position is on site in Calgary. Remote work is not available.

About the Job

We are seeking a software designer with a background in electrical engineering, computer engineering, geomatics engineering, or computer science. The successful candidate will work in the research and development team and design algorithms and software for navigation systems using multiple sensors. Those navigation systems are either portable navigation or vehicular navigation, and the multiple sensors are either from portable and wearable devices or from vehicles. Other tasks will include:

Developing modules for portable and vehicular navigation and their conversion to ANSI C code (and potentially C++) with optimization, modularization and maintenance.

Conducting research and development for enhancing the performance of vehicular navigation for autonomous vehicle and of portable navigation using portable and wearable devices for on-foot navigation or in-platform navigation (ex. in vehicle) for freely moving portable devices.

Conducting research and development related to positioning algorithms for portable and vehicular navigation using multiple sensors and absolute navigation systems such as GNSS/WiFi.

Development of data conversion/analysis/demo tools. Python and/or MATLAB are used.

Documentation of the different developed modules.
Strong English writing skills and ability to create/modify technical design documents, manuals and release notes.

Required Skills & Experience

Must have obtained a Bachelor (with at least 2 years of industrial experience in software development and/or the field of navigation), Master's degree, or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Geomatics Engineering, Computer Science or a related field of study.?
