Job details

Software Development Engineer II, C++, Navigation and Positioning

Mapbox is the leading real-time location platform for a new generation of location-aware businesses. Mapbox is the only platform that equips organizations with the full set of tools to power the navigation of people, packages, and vehicles everywhere. More than 4 million registered developers have chosen Mapbox because of the platform’s flexibility, security and privacy compliance. Organizations use Mapbox applications, data, SDKs and APIs to create customized and immersive experiences that delight their customers. 

What We Do

We work at the core of a Navigation SDK product owning turn-by-turn navigation, route progress and electronic horizon management and support for ADASIS protocol. We get users from point A to point B effectively matching them on roads as accurately as possible taking into account different input like GNSS, road curvature and IMU signals. Members of our Navigation team become deeply familiar with routing and map-matching data structures and algorithms. It is a crucial part of our positioning service which allows turning GPS signals and additional available data into position on a road graph. Poor signals, a wide range of devices, urban areas and multi-level roads, clouds can get in the way of users who expect us to position them quickly and accurately. To tackle all these uncertainties we are working not only on improving our algorithms and approaches but also on collecting and processing data to better understand the real world. Our navigation engine is built using C++ for performance and flexibility, with the same core engine powering our server-side APIs

Customers like BMW, Rivian, GM, Toyota, Doordash are using our SDK as a core part for their navigation and entertainment systems.

  • Design and develop new tools and instruments for solving positioning problems

  • Thinking through the best ways to solve particular technical challenges within existing technological and business constraints

  • Writing clean, fast code to implement new features and improve existing functionality

  • Implementing real time algorithms running on low power embedded hardware devices as well as mobile platforms

What We Believe are Important Traits for This Role

  • Curiosity, enthusiasm, eagerness to solve challenging technical problems in the navigation and positioning space using emerging technologies

  • Strong in C++, algorithms and performance optimization

  • Eagerness to work with real-time map-matching and sensor fusion algorithms for positioning using GNSS, IMU, and other sensors

Nice to Have Traits for This Role

  • Experience with cross platform c++ development, including Mobile and embedded platforms

  • Experience with development for functional safety domains

  • Experience with working with positioning and/or ADASIS domains
