TL;DR · Software AI Tools Engineer, Sensing & Connectivity

Location Software AI Tools Engineer, Sensing & Connectivity joins the Sensing and Connectivity team to validate and advance next-generation location algorithms. This role sits at the intersection of algorithm development and quality engineering, focusing on a proprietary positioning stack that fuses GNSS, Cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth signals for features like Maps Navigation and Fitness applications. The engineer will design and deploy AI-native tooling and agentic workflows to accelerate validation processes, build data pipelines to curate location datasets, and develop end-to-end replay systems to measure reliability before mainline submission. Key technical requirements include proficiency in Python, experience with LLMs, prompt engineering, and agentic frameworks. Candidates should also possess skills in designing evaluation frameworks and quality metrics while navigating complex sensor-fusion architectures and multi-constellation GNSS operations to ensure high-quality positioning behavior across various hardware and platform environments.

What you'll do

  • Design and deploy AI-native tooling and agentic workflows to accelerate location algorithm validation.
  • Build agentic data pipelines to ingest, curate, and quality-check large location datasets.
  • Develop end-to-end replay systems to measure the reliability and behavior of stack changes before submission.
  • Define benchmarks and evaluation frameworks to measure model quality and real-world positioning performance.
  • Partner with hardware, app, and platform teams to ship AI-driven features from the ground up.
  • Own the quality bar for location features by integrating new AI capabilities into production products.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or equivalent experience.
  • Experience building and shipping ML or AI systems in production or through significant project work.
  • Hands-on experience with LLMs, prompt engineering, and agentic frameworks.
  • Experience designing evaluation frameworks, quality metrics, and test infrastructure.
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals with proficiency in Python and comfort across the stack.
  • Demonstrated ability to deliver end-to-end features against release schedules.
  • Understanding of A-GNSS protocols, multi-constellation GNSS operation, embedded ML systems, and sensor-fusion architectures.
  • Familiarity with distributed compute platforms and large-scale data infrastructure.
