• Conducts technical research and feasibility studies on new technologies, providing insight and recommendations to engineering management
• Represents Garmin among industry partners, peer groups and regulating agencies
• Contributes inventions, new designs, and techniques regarded as significant advances to the product and/or application development process
• Applies advanced theories, principles, and concepts in development of new principles and theories
• Utilizes knowledge of principles, forecasts new technology and provides business directions based on them
• Provides guidance and mentoring to less experienced software engineers in areas such as software methodology, cost analysis, and project management
• Mentors and provides guidance to less experienced software engineers (Software Engineer 1 & 2 & Senior Software Engineers)

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor’s Degree inComputerScience, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Math, Physics or related field AND a minimum of 14 years relevant experience OR an equivalent combination of education and experience
• Experience in positioning algorithms for consumer applications with a strong understanding of GNSS measurements and error sources, estimation techniques including least squares & Kalman filtering, blunder/fault detection, multi-constellation and multi-frequency, AGNSS, inertial navigation systems, inertial sensors, sensor fusion and other geomatic related topics.
• Proficient in software development and engineering with C/C++ for embedded, real-time environments
• Strong ability to use scripting languages (i.e. Python, Matlab etc.) or C++ to automate data analysis of large amounts of data to verify positioning algorithms
• Proven ability to explore and research technical algorithmic problems and implementing appropriate algorithmic solutions
• Demonstrate a successful track record in managing exceedingly complex problems and providing success solutions which are highly innovative and ingenious
• Experience with architecting solutions for multiple groups and/or disciplines
• Must be positive, detail oriented, organized, team oriented and a driven problem solver,multi-tasker, and self-starter with the ability to prioritize and lead in a fast paced, deadline-driven environment

Desired Qualifications
