Your Opportunity
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.

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.
