Engineering Project Manager GNSS

Job Title: Engineering Project Manager GNSS (m/f/d)

Location: Höhenkirchen (near Munich)

Division: Trimble Advanced Positioning

You will join the Trimble development team in Höhenkirchen near Munich, Germany. We are Trimble's center of excellence for GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) precise positioning. The team is responsible for developing new and enhancing existing software solutions on the base of state-of-the-art technologies.
We are a highly international team that adapts quickly to new business requirements. We need people who are comfortable tackling new problems, innovating solutions, and interacting with our marketing team and end customers. You are creative, motivated, able to take responsibility and support the applications you create.

Your expectation:
Our GNSS precise positioning solutions are used by thousands of field users varying from cadastral surveying via steering of tractors to automated driving of cars. To provide the best positioning experience Trimble owns and operates a worldwide network of thousands of GNSS reference stations. We are extending our engineering team with new spirit and talent with a focus on the project management of our GNSS corrections services.

Your key responsibilities are:

• Support the engineering teams with schedules and focus. Manage feature planning to synchronize schedules; run projects for larger features.
• Create and maintain project dashboards for the teams and the stakeholders.
• Interface with the stakeholders to incorporate market feedback.
• Gather "hands on" experience to understand the products and discuss with the stakeholders.
• Manage release schedules, create release documentation and drive test plans.

To achieve:

• Highest accuracy and reliability: Our server software enables highly accurate GNSS positioning for a large number of field users all over the world. Our focus is on continuous improvement to achieve state of the art performance. In parallel we prepare cloud based services to take over functionality from the on-premise server application.
• Performance and robustness of the backend services: GNSS corrections need to be available in 1Hz real-time with high reliability.
• Availability all over the world: Our customers depend on the accuracy and on the availability of our correction services for their daily work. 100% up time delivering correct data is our ongoing motivation.
• State-of-the-art technology: Extending our current portfolio into highly scalable applications utilizing C#, .Net, ASP.Net, cloud services, Docker, Kubernetes as well as modern Pub/Sub Messaging systems and web based visualization.
• Effective data structures: Depending on the technology of the connecting device, like L-Band, IP, IoT or GSM - we need to provide different data formats for best performance regarding communication and monitoring.
• Hosted network services: With Trimble RTX and Trimble VRSNow we host our own services that need to be maintained and extended with specialized features.

Desired skills and experience:

• University degree in computer science, engineering, physics, mathematics, geoinformatics or similar technical discipline.
• Experience in project management and the adjacent tooling. Not only creating charts, but supporting the whole R&D team to achieve the goals in a predictable manner.
• A background in GNSS technology would be a benefit, but is not a must. As a center of excellence for high precision positioning we provide extensive training for our employees.
• Demonstrated understanding of project management methodologies like (MTA - Milestone Trend Analysis) to drive accountability and focus.
• Readiness for cross-team collaboration with other Trimble software engineering teams. Able to communicate with the customer companies to discuss technology and progress.
• Up to date with current trends and patterns going on in the world of cloud development as it changes rapidly.
