Senior Software Algorithm developer at Topcon, working on cutting-edge location-based solutions. Focused on developing advanced algorithms for high-precision positioning systems using GNSS technology.
Responsibilities
Research, design, and develop advanced algorithms for centimeter-level precise positioning using GNSS measurements, with a focus on PPP and RTK techniques.
Enhance and optimize correction services (e.g., Topcon correction service) based on State Space Representation and real-time correction data.
Integrate additional sensor data (INS, visual odometry, etc.) to improve reliability in challenging environments.
Develop and validate precise ionosphere estimation methods using network interpolation and advanced mathematical models.
Collaborate with DevOps and software engineering teams to ensure seamless integration of algorithms into production services and hardware.
Conduct comparative research on state-of-the-art approaches, prepare technical reports, and present findings to stakeholders.
Analyze requirements, clarify objectives, and develop optimal solutions with complexity assessment.
Prototype solutions using high-level languages (Python, Matlab), with subsequent porting to embedded systems (C++).
Debug and support developed algorithms on embedded platforms; create diagnostic tools for post-processing logs and simulation of positioning issues.
Evaluate performance, conduct quality control, and perform error analysis using automated and manual testing frameworks.
Participate in CI/CD workflows (TeamCity, Bitbucket/GitHub, Jira) for continuous integration and deployment of algorithmic modules.
Collaborate in cross-functional teams, including hardware, QA, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Kubernetes).
Requirements
Master’s or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Radio Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
Deep expertise in radiolocation/radionavigation and GNSS algorithm principles.
Proven experience in developing GNSS and precise positioning algorithms (RTK, PPP).
Strong background in inertial navigation systems and sensor fusion.
Advanced knowledge of Kalman filtering, estimation theory, and error modeling.
5+ years of experience developing applications in C++ (Windows, VC++, MSVC).
Experience with Python (5+ years preferred) or Matlab for prototyping and testing.
Familiarity with Java for integration tasks is a plus.
Experience with version control (Git, Mercurial, SVN), CI/CD, code quality, and refactoring.
Experience with cloud platforms (AWS), containerization (Kubernetes), and monitoring tools (Grafana, Prometheus, Loki) is highly desirable.
Intermediate or higher English proficiency.
Excellent C++ programming skills.
Benefits
Flexible work arrangements
Professional development opportunities
