Original posting

Swift Navigation (San Francisco, CA) - Full Time Swift Navigation is a 10ish-person, high-accuracy GPS hardware startup based out of San Francisco. We are venture funded, recently won the Qualcomm QPrize, and have a fantastic slate of paying customers. Swift is currently looking to fill roles in embedded systems firmware engineering and business development, but are open to awesome folks more generally. We have a number of fun projects in-progress: RF/embedded design for satellite receivers, modeling/algorithm design for GPS estimation and control problems, functional programming (Haskell!) for platform infrastructure and performance-critical embedded code generation, and continuous testing/integration of complex firmware releases. In business development, you'll be responsible for driving direct sales, expanding the availability of high-accuracy GPS into entirely new markets in machine automation, such as precision agriculture, UAVs, mining equipment, and other autonomous or self-driving systems. If you'd like to apply, send a note to jobs@swiftnav.com. I'll also be happy to answer any questions at mookerji@swiftnav.com.
