Swift Navigation — Multiple Positions — Full Time — San Francisco — Onsite
Swift Navigation (https://swiftnav.com) is building next-generation GPS technology for universal high-accuracy positioning for machine automation and data collection across a wide variety of industries and applications in autonomous transportation, robotics, and unmanned aerial vehicles. Our ~50 person group in SOMA is venture-backed and we have an exciting slate of customers!
Our work is very interdisciplinary and all roles require strong problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills. See full descriptions and apply at https://jobs.lever.co/swift-nav
- Estimation / GNSS Engineer — Algorithm design, mathematical software development, and system integration for our next-generation receivers through a full feature development pipeline. (C, C++, Python, statistics, linear algebra, estimation theory / kalman filtering / optimization)
- Software Engineer, Internal Infrastructure — Collaborate with hardware and firmware teams to create software infrastructure and tools for prototyping, testing, validating, and benchmarking algorithms on our current and next-generation receivers. (functional and imperative programming - language-agnostic, but Python experience preferred, AWS)
- Network Product Manager — PM experience focused on developing geospatial/satellite navigation software products, and sensor network infrastructure. Track record of successful product delivery from inception through launch. BA/BS or higher in a relevant technical field and preferably experience in geodesy, geospatial mapping, or distributed sensor networks.

Swift Navigation — Software Engineer — Full Time — San Francisco — Onsite
Swift Navigation (http://swiftnav.com) is looking for a backend/generalist software engineer to work with us on inch-accurate GPS receivers by contributing to our internal test infrastructure and tools. You will work with a small team to push the state of the art in satellite navigation technology, making high-accuracy positioning ubiquitous and easy to use across a wide variety of and applications in unmanned aerial vehicles, robotics, and autonomous transportation.
Candidates should have experience with software engineering in a production environment, Python for data analysis (Numpy/SciPy/Pandas) and scripting, AWS, and experience or interest in working with hardware.
Please apply at https://jobs.lever.co/swift-nav/faeeedb6-fcd0-46af-b5ba-f136...
Email Margaret ([email protected]) if you have any questions. Please do not send email if you are just submitting an application. Apply at via the lever.co link above.
Satellite navigation is a rich problem space! Our ~50 person group in the SOMA neighborhood of San Francisco is spread across analog/RF/digital hardware design, statistic/estimation/controls, functional programming, and web infrastructure. Our work is highly interdisciplinary with an environment emphasizing effective communication, collaboration, openness (http://github.com/swift-nav) and inclusion with a flexible working policy.

Here's a paper from last summer on how Pixar is doing the computations for global illumination more efficiently with a "multiresolution radiosity caching method." http://graphics.pixar.com/library/RadiosityCaching/paper.pdf
I don't know much about graphics but maybe some of you will find it illuminating (no pun intended....)
