What We Do

The Navigation Native team builds the high-performance C++ engine that serves as the "brain" of our Navigation SDKs. This library runs directly on end-user systems (on-board), powering everything from mobile apps to in-vehicle infotainment systems for partners like BMW, Porsche, and Zeekr.

We solve the fundamental challenges of movement: transforming noisy GPS/IMU data into precise map-matching, managing complex road-network graphs, supporting routes and alternatives, tracking progress along a route, and providing "Electronic Horizon" capabilities for ADAS. Our work happens at the edge, supporting location frequencies up to 10Hz and ensuring a seamless experience even in tunnels or dense urban canyons.

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.
