Principal Navigation Software Engineer

Technology Positioning – Advanced R&

D
We are looking for a Principal Navigation Software Engineer to join our Technology Positioning team. In this role, you will contribute to the long‑term evolution of u‑blox positioning and PNT technologies, working at the intersection of GNSS positioning algorithms, system architecture, and advanced PNT concepts, spanning both mass‑market (SPG) and high‑precision (HPG) positioning domain

s.
This position is ideal for an experienced GNSS engineer who enjoys deep technical work while also contributing to technology strategy and future product directions across the u‑blox portfol

io.
Your

RoleAs part of the Technology Positioning team, you will work on advanced positioning and PNT concepts that influence both short‑ and long‑term technology roadmaps. You will collaborate closely with GNSS signal processing teams, system architects, embedded software teams, and external research partners to bring new positioning technologies from concept stage into production‑ready soluti

ons.
Depending on experience and seniority, the role can be shaped toward technical ownership of key algorithmic areas or broader technical leadership and cross‑team influ

ence.
