Full job description
Meet the team
You’ll join the Traffic Control Features team within TomTom’s Automated Driving organization. The team builds the technology that turns real-world observations into reliable map information about traffic signs, traffic lights, stop lines and road markings.
You’ll work with applied scientists and software engineers to develop algorithms and machine-learning solutions that detect, position and connect these features to the right roads and driving directions. The goal is to deliver accurate, scalable map content that supports navigation and advanced driving experiences. TomTom measures these features using quality dimensions such as recall, precision, and road-relation accuracy.
