Job DescriptionSenior Signal Processing Engineer

Technology Positioning – Advanced R&D

We are looking for a Senior Signal Processing Engineer to join our Technology Positioning team. In this role, you will contribute to the long‑term evolution of u‑blox positioning technologies, working at the intersection of GNSS signal processing, receiver architecture, and advanced research topics. This position is ideal for an experienced GNSS engineer who enjoys combining deep technical work with strategic technology development, influencing future products and platforms across the u‑blox portfolio.

Your Role
As part of the Technology Positioning team, you will work on advanced GNSS and PNT concepts that span beyond a single product generation. You will collaborate closely with product R&D teams, system architects, and external partners to mature new technologies from concept to implementation.

Your responsibilities include:

Design and development of advanced GNSS measurement‑layer algorithms, including acquisition, tracking, and signal quality metrics

Exploration and prototyping of next‑generation GNSS and PNT technologies, such as multi‑frequency, multi‑constellation, LEO‑PNT, SoOP, and hybrid positioning concepts

Algorithm development and validation using Python / MATLAB, followed by implementation in embedded C/C++ for real‑time receiver environments

Performance analysis using simulations, lab measurements, and real‑world data

Contribution to receiver architecture and technology roadmaps, in close cooperation with system and product teams

Technical documentation, internal knowledge sharing, and support for technology transfer into product development

Depending on seniority, mentoring of other engineers and technical leadership within selected focus areas

Your Skills and Experience

MSc or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunication, Signal Processing, Computer Science, or a related field

Strong hands‑on experience in GNSS receiver signal processing, particularly at the measurement layer

Solid understanding of acquisition, tracking loops (DLL / PLL / FLL), data decoding, and their interaction with positioning engines

Experience in GNSS algorithm development for mass‑market or high‑precision receivers

Proficiency in embedded C/C++, with supporting skills in Python and/or MATLAB

Familiarity with embedded real‑time systems and modern software development practices is appreciated

Analytical, detail‑oriented mindset with a strong focus on quality and robustness

Ability to communicate complex technical topics clearly in English

Nice to Have

Experience with high‑precision GNSS (RTK, PPP, PPP‑RTK) or integrity‑related topics

Exposure to LEO‑PNT, SoOP, or hybrid PNT systems

Semiconductor or GNSS SoC development experience

Experience in technical leadership, mentoring, or cross‑team coordination

What We Offer

A technically challenging role with real influence on future u‑blox positioning technologies

Opportunity to work at the technology and research frontier, beyond single product cycles

Collaboration with highly skilled GNSS and signal processing experts across u‑blox

Flexible working model, including remote work options

Competitive compensation and benefits, including strong social security and work‑life balance

A professional, international environment with a strong engineering culture

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

Hybrid working model & flexible working hours

A strong learning environment and regular career discussions
