We are seeking a highly skilled Map & Route Field Engineer to design and build next-generation in-vehicle mapping and routing systems. This role focuses on developing embedded software that integrates external map data providers into automotive platforms, enabling real-time navigation displayed on the vehicle’s centre console.
Unlike mobile or cloud-based mapping solutions, this position is deeply embedded within the vehicle ecosystem—requiring expertise in automotive-grade software, low-level APIs, and real-time data integration across vehicle systems.
