Job Description

Location:

Calgary (Canada) or any u-blox office (hybrid)

You will be one of the engineers with u-blox’s team expanding portfolio of high-precision positioning, working across team initiatives, collaborating with fellow engineers, and diving into algorithms. Your work will directly influence how industrial robotics and autonomous machines achieve centimeter-level accuracy worldwide.

If you are a GNSS craftsperson who combines deep algorithmic expertise across multiple markets using high precision positioning with the ability to mentor, influence roadmaps, and turn complex customer problems into elegant solutions – this is your playground.

We’re always interested in connecting with exceptional GNSS engineers. If your background is above or below the level described here, we still encourage you to apply – we’d love to talk.

• Act as a GNSS algorithms engineer to architect and develop positioning systems.
• Participate in next-generation initiatives in the field of high-precision GNSS positioning, and rapidly prototype, validate and develop production-grade systems.
• Support shaping and executing the technical roadmap with Product Owners and other engineers.
• Work in cross business unit teams to support end-to-end algorithm implementation and ensure overall product success.
• Collaborate with engineers across the business unit, scaling impact through engineering and teamwork excellence.
