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:
1. Design and development of advanced GNSS measurement‑layer algorithms, including acquisition, tracking, and signal quality metrics
2. Exploration and prototyping of next‑generation GNSS and PNT technologies, such as multi‑frequency, multi‑constellation, LEO‑PNT, SoOP, and hybrid positioning concepts
3. Algorithm development and validation using Python / MATLAB, followed by implementation in embedded C/C++ for real‑time receiver environments
4. Performance analysis using simulations, lab measurements, and real‑world data
5. Contribution to receiver architecture and technology roadmaps, in close cooperation with system and product teams
6. Technical documentation, internal knowledge sharing, and support for technology transfer into product development
7. Depending on seniority, mentoring of other engineers and technical leadership within selected focus areas
Your Skills and Experience
8. MSc or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunication, Signal Processing, Computer Science, or a related field
9. Strong hands‑on experience in GNSS receiver signal processing, particularly at the measurement layer
10. Solid understanding of acquisition, tracking loops (DLL / PLL / FLL), data decoding, and their interaction with positioning engines
11. Experience in GNSS algorithm development for mass‑market or high‑precision receivers
12. Proficiency in embedded C/C++, with supporting skills in Python and/or MATLAB
13. Familiarity with embedded real‑time systems and modern software development practices is appreciated
14. Analytical, detail‑oriented mindset with a strong focus on quality and robustness
15. Ability to communicate complex technical topics clearly in English
Nice to Have
16. Experience with high‑precision GNSS (RTK, PPP, PPP‑RTK) or integrity‑related topics
17. Exposure to LEO‑PNT, SoOP, or hybrid PNT systems
18. Semiconductor or GNSS SoC development experience
19. Experience in technical leadership, mentoring, or cross‑team coordination
What We Offer
20. A technically challenging role with real influence on future u‑blox positioning technologies
21. Opportunity to work at the technology and research frontier, beyond single product cycles
22. Collaboration with highly skilled GNSS and signal processing experts across u‑blox
23. Flexible working model, including remote work options
24. Competitive compensation and benefits, including strong social security and work‑life balance
25. A professional, international environment with a strong engineering culture
What are your perks?
26. A multicultural and international company with over 60 different nationalities
27. Project-based activities working with colleagues across the globe
28. A start-up and innovation mindset while in the process of scaling-up processes and efficiencies
29. Hybrid working model & flexible working hours
30. A strong learning environment and regular career discussions
