Mapbox is the only platform that equips organizations with the full set of tools to power the navigation of people, packages, and vehicles everywhere. More than 4 million registered developers have chosen Mapbox because of the platform’s flexibility, security and privacy compliance. Organizations use Mapbox applications, data, SDKs and APIs to create customized and immersive experiences that delight their customers.\nThe team is developing 3D Live Navigation, an advanced navigation system that enhances traditional maps by integrating high-resolution 3D lane models, real-time sensor data, environmental models, and dynamic lighting conditions. We are leveraging feedback from millions of vehicles and aerial imagery to create a detailed and immersive 3D navigation experience. Additionally, we are working on integration with in-vehicle sensors and ADAS to provide precise lane-level guidance, hazard warnings, and improved situational awareness, helping drivers navigate complex roads more safely and efficiently.\nLearn more: mapbox.com/blog/mapbox-3d-navigation\nWhat You'll Do\nDevelop real-time visualization of ADAS sensor data and HD lane-level navigation for Mapbox Navigation SDK, including implementation of simulation tools for testing various driving scenarios and sensor data playback.\n\nAssess minimum requirements for our automotive solutions and align them with reference platforms.\n\nWrite clean, fast C++ code to integrate various data inputs required for our automotive navigation system product offerings, or provide custom-tailored solutions as needed.\n\nImplement and collaborate on new rendering and navigation features.\n\nOwn full-stack development from data to navigation experience across various platforms and stacks.\n\nFine-tune the automotive navigation experience through profiling and debugging techniques to extract the best performance from customer platforms.\n\nWork with technical counterparts at customers and partners to discover requirements, provide implementation recommendations, and debug integrations.\n\nCollaborate with internal teams to ensure best practices for cross-platform API design and performance tuning for specific hardware and software combinations.\n\nImprove the product’s performance, stability, maintainability, and simplicity.\n\nWhat We Believe are Important Traits for This Role\nBroad experience in software development, customer engagements, and automotive compliance standards.\n\nStrong technical expertise (6+ years) in modern and embedded C++.\n\nProficient in rendering with a strong foundation in algorithms and performance optimization.\n\nStrong understanding of various ADAS features (ACC, LKA, etc.) and their corresponding visual representation in displays/HMI systems.\n\nSkilled in sensor fusion and various filtering techniques.\n\nExperienced with build systems like CMake and Gradle, and developing frameworks/developer tools.\n\nExcellent communication skills, capable of working effectively with distributed teams, customers, and partners (Fluent in English).\n\nNice to Have:\nAutomotive operating systems: AGL, AOSP, Android Automotive, QNX.\n\nAutomotive CAN bus experience.\n\nHD mapping domain knowledge (lane level geometry, road topology, map data formats).\n\nOrchestration: Yocto, Docker.\n\nCross-platform UI toolkits like Qt or Flutter.\n\nExperience in Kotlin, Shell Script, JavaScript, Python.\n\nWhat We Value\nIn addition to our core values, which are not unique to this position and are necessary for Mapbox leaders:\nWe value high-performing creative individuals who dig into problems and opportunities.\n\nWe believe in individuals being their whole selves at work.
