u-blox is the leading provider of Global Satellite Navigation System (GNSS) solutions. To strengthen our HPA Technology Team, we are seeking a Research Engineer with strong mathematical and AI/ML expertise to work on next-generation solutions for GNSS, navigation, perception, and control systems. You’ll work alongside world-class experts, contributing to cutting-edge algorithms, robust positioning engines, and AI-enhanced sensing and control solutions for wearables, IoT, robotics, and automotive applications.
This position can be located in Reigate, UK or Tampere, FI.
Your Responsibilities
* Design, develop, and validate advanced algorithms for GNSS and multi-sensor navigation, including sensor fusion with IMUs, cameras, and LEO-PNT signals.
* Apply AI/ML methods (e.g., deep learning, factor graph optimization, probabilistic inference, reinforcement learning) to tackle challenges in positioning, perception, and control systems.
* Explore and prototype robust and resilient navigation solutions against multipath, interference, and spoofing in complex environments.
* Contribute to perception-driven navigation: integrate visual, inertial, and GNSS cues into unified frameworks for enhanced accuracy and integrity.
* Collaborate on control system design where reliable location/perception data directly influences path planning, decision-making, and actuation.
* Conduct mathematical modelling, statistical analysis, and performance evaluation of algorithms under real-world scenarios.
* Implement algorithms in Python/C++/Matlab for deployment in embedded, edge, and cloud platforms.
* Work closely with cross-functional teams (hardware, embedded software, AI research, and application domains) to bring concepts to high-TRL prototypes and products.
Your Skills and Experience
* M.Sc. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, Applied Mathematics, or related fields.
* Strong mathematical expertise and proven research experience in AI or machine learning
* Hands-on experience with GNSS, navigation, or positioning systems (multi-constellation, multi-frequency, integrity monitoring).
* Proficiency in machine learning frameworks such as TensorFlow and PyTorch
* Strong programming skills in Python and preferably in C and C++
* Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
What are your perks?
* A multicultural and international company with over 60 different nationalities
* Project-based activities working with colleagues across the globe
* A start-up and innovation mindset while in the process of scaling-up processes and efficiencies
* A strong learning environment and regular career discussions
