Research Algorithms Engineer

Description:

Hexagon’s Autonomy & Positioning division is looking for a GNSS Research Algorithms Engineer who is eager to join our Applied Research team. We are a high-tech engineering and manufacturing company that is committed to customer service excellence and continuous improvement. Are you a subject matter expert in positioning algorithms engineering and eager to play a key role in our applied research group? Do you want to solve our “what’s next” problems and develop capabilities of precise positioning including GNSS and augmentations? If so, we want to hear from you! Your strong theoretical understanding of estimation theory is required, along with your ability to identify excellent ideas, practically implement them, and explain how they work. You will work in a multi-disciplinary environment and collaborate with other positioning specialists in the company to create the full processing chain from signal in space to computed (precise) position.

 

Responsibilities
 

• Undertake research projects as directed and provide suggestions for pertinent areas of investigation based on your deep understanding of contemporary positioning challenges
• Innovate new ideas to improve GNSS positioning and offer a visionary view of opportunities
• Conduct theoretical analysis/derivations, write software to implement new or modified algorithms, devise and implement appropriate tests to prove performance, and document the process and the results
• Present your progress to management and peers
• Work as an individual contributor and you may coordinate a small team (3-5 people) on specific projects
   

Qualifications

Must-Have:
 

• M.Sc. in geomatics engineering, or related area
• Strong understanding of estimation and positioning principles
• Experience with RTK and/or PPP GNSS processing
• Programming capability in C/C++, with demonstrated experience in debugging and troubleshooting
• Innate curiosity, and a keen interest in all kinds of positioning
• Effective communication skills, both oral and written, and the ability to interface effectively and amicably with colleagues
