What We Do
The Navigation SDK team builds frameworks and applications that power navigation everywhere. Customers of our SDK include automotive, logistics and consumer apps on Android, iOS and Linux, small and large. Our developers build apps and navigation experiences that top the App Store and Play Store rankings, and we are constantly working together to help them build what’s next, whether that’s an Augmented Reality app, an AI powered experience, a popular consumer app, or an autonomous driving experience. As AI becomes embedded in modern engineering workflows, we value engineers who can thoughtfully integrate AI into design, development, and decision-making. Our interview process will include discussion of how you use AI in your engineering workflow.
