About the role

Senior Systems Software Engineer within the Location Team focusing on multi-component location systems that integrate inertial sensors, visual sensors, wireless radios, GNSS, and on-device processing. The role combines architecture design across hardware, firmware, and software with hands-on development, bringing up new hardware, and debugging complex cross-stack issues while emphasizing privacy and security.

Responsibilities

  • Help define the architecture of multi-component location systems spanning hardware, firmware, and software, and implement the interfaces that hold them together
  • Write, review, and maintain production-quality code in C++, Objective-C, and Swift for systems that ship to our customers
  • Design and implement how inertial, visual, and wireless sensing come together into a system that behaves as one
  • Integrate and bring up new hardware and software components, working through the problems that only surface on real devices
  • Weigh the tradeoffs between accuracy, latency, power, memory, and reliability, and bring partner teams along with your reasoning
  • Debug complex issues across the full stack, where the root cause could sit anywhere from the sensor to the application
  • Take new technologies from early prototype through evaluation and into production, fusing them with our existing capabilities
  • Collaborate with silicon, hardware, firmware, and algorithms teams from first concept through shipping
  • Build the tooling and instrumentation that let us characterize how a system really behaves, with data rather than intuition
  • Participate in evaluating new signals and technologies as our platforms continue to evolve

Qualifications

  • At least 7 years of hands-on C++ or Objective-C programming experience, or in a comparable modern systems language such as Rust, with coding central to your day-to-day work
  • Experience designing and implementing complex systems built from multiple hardware and software components with tight interaction between them
  • Deep experience at the hardware/software boundary: sensors, radios, cameras, firmware interfaces, drivers, or timing and synchronization
  • A track record of taking a system from concept to production, including integration and bring-up you performed yourself
  • Know how to debug complex systems where the root cause is not localized
  • Deep understanding of software design paradigms and software development best practices
  • Excellent collaboration and communication skills
  • A passion for programming and building things
  • BSc in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience. MSc in a relevant field a plus.
