Integrity Algorithms Engineer

Swift Navigation is hiring. We’re the market leader in automotive precision GNSS and have been awarded programs for a total of more than 10 million ADAS-enabled and autonomous vehicles worldwide across 20+ automotive OEMs & suppliers as well as multiple mobile handset OEMs. 

Our product line includes an end-to-end safety critical solution composed of a correction service (Skylark) and a positioning engine (Starling) offering both high-accuracy and high-integrity to our automotive users. 

Skylark is a 24/7 GNSS corrections service that allows for centimeter-level navigation - safely. Skylark consists of a global GNSS station network, redundant data center architecture, and state of the art monitoring algorithms to ensure 99.9% guaranteed availability and fewer than 1 failure per 1,142 years of driving. To give you a sense of our scale, we process and continuously monitor the integrity of 1.4 billion satellite signals per hour.

Starling is a positioning engine that delivers safe and precise positioning. Starling combines high-accuracy GNSS algorithms, advanced sensor fusion to maintain best-in-class positioning performance in the most challenging environments and integrity algorithms to provide a high-confidence upper bound of the positioning error of our automotive user. Starling is integrated into millions of production vehicles currently operating on the road.

We’re looking for an outstanding Integrity Algorithms Engineer to work on the core of our end-to-end safety-critical products. You will be working to push the state of the art in satellite navigation technology, designing safe and high-accuracy algorithms within Swift correction service engine, GNSS engine or sensor fusion engine. As part of the Integrity team within the Automotive BU, you will contribute to our safety-critical products. Your contributions will span across system level integrity strategy, algorithms design trade-off, algorithms development as well as associated system and validation tools definition.
