We are looking for experienced engineers with extensive background in C++ software development to join our navigation engine development team. Our team thrives on cooperation and is committed to implementing an innovative range of navigation software products.
The TomTom Navigation Product Unit is responsible for delivering software components for TomTom’s Connected Navigation products such as portable navigation devices (Sat Nav), in-dash automotive systems, Android and iOS navigation applications; as well as our online assets like the Location Based Services platform which powers routes.tomtom.com and developer.tomtom.com. The foundation of these products is our industry leading navigation engine NavKit. NavKit provides a cross platform implementation of the complex domain logic and algorithms for routing, guidance, 3D map visualization, location search and map matched positioning that is required in a navigation application. Besides being a key enabler for our own products, NavKit is also distributed in the form of a software development kit. With the NavKit SDK, business partners may develop their own navigation application by building on TomTom’s expertise in the navigation domain. Our business partners are among the biggest automotive and smartphone manufacturers in the world. Together we are tackling future challenges for the next generation of connected cars and highly automated vehicles (aka self-driving cars). Our recently released, all new TomTom GO is one of our NavKit-powered products and we’re extremely proud of it.

We develop NavKit in a lean-agile software development approach using methodologies from the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe). Through the Agile Release Train we deliver NavKit releases on a regular basis – bringing new functionality to the market quickly that immediately reaches millions of consumers and makes the result of our work rewardingly tangible.
Within the NavKit organization we are looking for a Senior C++ Software Engineer, ideally with experience in developing and implementing software for on- and off-board navigation systems, to work on our map access and searchsoftware. The experience (and future opportunities) may include complex algorithm development, optimization for embeddeddevices, solving scalability issues when dealing with huge amounts of static and dynamic map and traffic data, efficiently serving a rapidly increasing user base, developing a variety of novel algorithms on road networks and providing the best possible user experience to delight our customers. The navigation field is highly interesting and provides plenty of technical challenges, which will surely keep you and your team members engaged. Together you are tasked to drive innovation and to make our NavKit map access and search component best in class.
