About Forterra At Forterra, we are unleashing autonomy at scale to transform the battlefield. Backed by SoftBank VF.
About the role
Forterra is a fast-growing company at the early stages of growth. Consistent with this fast growth, members of our Navigation team must be resourceful, rigorous, and eager to take ownership of hard technical problems. The Navigation Engineer role will require strong fundamentals in estimation and C++ to work within a large, real-time codebase, with a singular focus on helping Forterra deploy its technology into operational settings. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Be a key member of Forterra's small, dynamic Navigation team
- Take responsibility for well-scoped pieces of the navigation stack that directly affect how our vehicles perform in the field
- Work on GNSS processing. Contribute to carrier-phase techniques such as TDCP, dual-antenna heading and RTK, and to the integrity, jamming and spoofing monitoring that decides when GNSS can be trusted
- Prove that it works. Capture vehicle data, run deterministic replays and regression metrics, inject faults, and report results against clear pass/fail tolerances
- Support calibration and field testing. Help estimate and verify sensor lever arms and mounts, characterize sensors, and debug navigation issues from real vehicle logs
- Build safety-relevant outputs. Implement the health status, warnings and output interfaces that fault- Number of headcount you want to hire? management and safety functions depend on

About the role
The Forterra navigation team seeks a Navigation Software Engineer to help build and validate the localization systems that let our autonomous vehicles know where they are, reliably and in every environment. This spans the full navigation stack: real-time sensor-fusion filters that combine IMU, GNSS, radar and wheel odometry; GNSS processing, including carrier-phase techniques and integrity monitoring; sensor calibration; and the assured localization that must keep working when GNSS is degraded or denied. The Navigation team partners closely with the autonomy, safety, perception and vehicle integration teams to turn research-grade estimation into software that runs on fielded vehicles.
