Swift Navigation (San Francisco, CA) - Full time, interns

Swift Navigation is a 9ish-person, high-accuracy GPS hardware startup based out of Lemnos Labs in San Francisco. We are venture funded, recently won the Qualcomm QPrize, and have a fantastic slate of paying customers.

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 compilers/tools for performance-critical embedded code generation.

We're currently looking for a __product-focused engineer__ interested in embedded systems prototyping but also in collaborating with many of our existing customers in research and industry to improve our main product (http://swiftnav.com/piksi.html). This role will be particularly important as we expand the availability of high-accuracy GPS into entirely new markets (UAVs, machine automation, agriculture).

For next year: __interns__, particularly anyone interested in getting some independent project experience with some of the projects above.

If you'd like to apply, send a note to jobs@swiftnav.com. iI you're awesome and really want to contribute in some other way not listed? Let us know! I'll also be happy to answer any questions at mookerji@swiftnav.com.
