But we also know how to enjoy the ride. Our culture is a unique blend of curiosity, team spirit, and a touch of unconventional charm. It’s fast-paced, fun, and grounded in a sober sense of purpose and perspective. Whether we’re deep in design reviews or sharing laughs over lunch, we’re building something meaningful together. At Qualinx, you’re not just contributing to a ground-breaking technology, you’re helping shape a team that’s redefining what it means to work in deep tech.
Job Description
Design and optimize algorithms for GNSS acquisition, tracking, and measurement engines to achieve best-in-class performance.
Implement and validate algorithms on embedded platforms using C in real-time operating systems.
Develop simulation models (floating-point and fixed-point) to analyze system performance and guide design decisions.
Create robust software tools in MATLAB and Python for algorithm development, testing, and automation.
Develop hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test frameworks to continuously verify and validate firmware performance.
Monitor and safeguard GNSS system performance during algorithm development and integration phases.
Document and present technical findings clearly to internal teams and external stakeholders.
Contribute to continuous improvement by following and enhancing company software engineering best practices
Job requirements
Qualinx is looking for a result-driven and conscientious GNSS Engineer. Someone who thrives in an environment where your proactive and can-do attitude is highly appreciated. The ideal candidate for this role must have:
