About Trimble

Trimble is a globally recognized technology company that specializes in providing advanced solutions for positioning, mapping, and navigation. With a history spanning over four decades, Trimble is a pioneer in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology. Trimble empowers industries across the globe with accurate, reliable positioning solutions.

As a GNSS Test Engineer in our Quality Assurance team at Trimble, you will work with Trimble GNSS receivers and technologies, ensuring their positioning accuracy and performance meet specified requirements. You will collaborate with engineering teams from different business sectors, including surveying, construction, agriculture and automotive, and use Trimble products targeted for these areas. You will participate in the firmware release validation process, executing, expanding, and critically challenging test plans to ensure robust coverage beyond standard regression. You will use existing testing infrastructure and work on its further development and automation. Your role will be crucial in ensuring the quality and accuracy of our GNSS receivers and applications, which are integral to the success of our products and services.

Responsibilities

• Conduct comprehensive static, kinematic and field testing of Trimble GNSS receivers across various sectors (surveying, construction, agriculture, OEM), focusing on the accuracy and performance of the GNSS positioning engine.
• Drive the firmware release validation process: execute, expand, and critically challenge test plans to ensure robust coverage beyond standard regression.
• Analyze test data, generate ground truth and produce plots, statistics, and reports to assess GNSS receiver performance.
• Develop tools and monitoring solutions to automate and enhance testing processes.
• Work with Trimble proprietary tools designed for validation of GNSS data and receivers performance.
• Manage and maintain the GNSS Lab, test van and local CORS infrastructure, including RF distribution and network connectivity.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including hardware engineers, software developers, and product managers.

Qualifications

• Education: Degree in Geomatics, Surveying, or a related technical field.
• Experience: 2+ years of experience in a surveying company, GNSS equipment manufacturer, or similar.
• Surveying Expertise: Practical, hands-on experience with daily surveying workflows, including Total Station operation and establishing Geodetic Control Networks.
• GNSS Technical Knowledge: Deep understanding of Reference Systems, Datums, and precise positioning techniques (RTK, VRS, PPP, Post-Processing).
• Hardware Aptitude: Comfortable managing hardware in a lab (cabling, RF distribution) and maintaining field equipment (QA Van, rooftop antennas).
• QA Mindset: Ability to create new test strategies and critically challenge existing test plans. Ability to create and maintain detailed technical documentation, including lab setup guides, network diagrams, and result reports.
• IT & Networking: Solid understanding of basic networking (IP configuration), firewalling and file transfer protocols (FTP, SFTP). Familiarity with Linux is a plus.
• Scripting & Tools: Basic knowledge of Python (or similar) and data analysis tools. Willingness to learn and use AI-assisted coding tools for automation is required.
• Soft Skills: Ability to work effectively as part of an engineering team with minimal supervision in a fast-paced environment.

We offer

• The opportunity to join an R&D team focused on developing new software positioning products.
• A collaborative, international work culture with more than 100 colleagues from 30 countries and six continents.
• Hybrid job profile and flexible working hours.
• A long-term, secure position with equitable compensation.
