Developer Relations Engineer – Terrestrial Positioning Service; TPS

General Summary

Qualcomm’s Terrestrial Positioning Service (TPS) is a cutting‑edge geolocation solution that delivers accurate, reliable, and scalable positioning for industrial and mobile applications—even in challenging signal environments. TPS leverages Wi‑Fi, cellular, and terrestrial beacons (including Bluetooth® Low Energy) to provide precise geolocation and way finding capabilities for asset trackers, handheld devices, payment terminals, and more. Its hybrid approach ensures robust positioning, whether alongside or independent of GPS, and is optimized for power efficiency and lightweight integration.

As part of Edge Impulse and Qualcomm’s Industrial IoT division, we are launching a Developer Relations initiative dedicated to TPS. This technical role is ideal for a software engineering background with strong communication skills, capable of creating sample apps, cloud integrations, and hands‑on technical content that enables developers to succeed with TPS. You will actively build and demonstrate how to use TPS across Android, Linux, embedded/RTOS, and other platforms.
