Embedded Systems Engineer with Focus on GNSS Radio Signal Processing (Safety-critical Positioning Products)u-blox continues to expand its efforts in positioning technology with a focus on building positioning products for safety-critical applications such as autonomous road and airborne vehicle control and navigation. Hence, our Positioning Product Center is charged with ensuring that u-blox positioning products, not only remain at the forefront of positioning technologies, but also becomes a key player within high-integrity and safety-critical systems. As a new and fast-growing team within this organization, we are applying our best research and engineering capabilities to develop these new functionally safe, high integrity products. While satellite-based positioning technology is widely accepted and integrated within safety-relevant functions in aviation, we want to assign it also to safety-critical tasks within future mass-market applications such as highly-automated and autonomous vehicle control.Our vision is to develop a positioning technology that is so reliable, accurate, and easy to integrate, that it will become a natural part within systems requiring high-accuracy, integrity, and safety. Our positioning technology integrates GNSS satellite signals with sensors from the vehicle by means of sophisticated hardware and software. If you are looking to join a team that is building cutting-edge technology that will shape the future of autonomous vehicle control and navigation, this may be the opportunity you’re looking for.We are looking for a passionate Embedded Systems Engineer with Focus on GNSS Radio Signal Processing who is a quick learner, enthusiastic about safety-critical systems, and eager to contribute in building our new Safety-critical Positioning Systems Engineering and Development Team. The role is located in Tampere (Finland). There will be regular travel to other sites within Europe.

Your Responsibilities
