Your space-enabled career begins here

The Road Features Group, part of ADAS & ADS at TomTom, is the algorithmic engine behind the creation of highly accurate HD maps that enable lane-level navigation and autonomous driving. We build digital twins of road networks faster and more accurately than ever before. Using diverse data sources — including on-vehicle, aerial, and street-side sensors producing semantic 3D data — we extract road surfaces, drivable lanes, traffic behaviors, and physical structures.

Within this group, the Road Surface Graph (RSG) & Lanes team plays a pivotal role: turning massive-scale sensor and geospatial data into detailed drivable road and lane graphs. Our work blends computational geometry, classical computer vision, and large-scale data engineering to push the boundaries of mapmaking technology. Join us in setting new standards for mapping technology and making road feature extraction smarter and more efficient.

We are seeking a senior / mid-senior Applied Scientist with a strong foundation in software engineering, geospatial data analysis, and geometric computer vision techniques. In this role, you will design and productionize algorithms that transform diverse geospatial and sensor data into the road and lane graphs that power TomTom maps.

You will work across data-heavy pipelines and algorithm development, applying methods from computational geometry, computer vision, and graph inference to mapmaking problems at scale. This is a hands-on role where you will engineer production-ready solutions using cloud platforms (Azure, Databricks) and containerization (Docker), while collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver innovations in HD mapping.

Nice to have:

A competitive compensation package, of course.

Time and resources to grow and develop, including a personal development budget and paid leave for learning days, as well as paid access to e-learning resources such as O’Reilly and LinkedIn Learning.

Time to support life outside of work, with enhanced parental leave plus paid leave to care for loved ones and volunteer in local communities.

Work flexibility, where TomTom’ers, in agreement with their manager and team, use both the office and home to focus, collaborate, learn and socialize. It’s all about getting the best out of both worlds – we ask TomTom’ers to come to the office two days a week, and the remaining three are free to be worked in either location.

Improve your home office with a setup budget and get extra support with a monthly allowance.

Enjoy options to work from your home country and abroad for a set number of days each year, to visit family and friends, or to simply explore the world we’re mapping.

Take the holidays you want with a competitive holiday plan, plus an extra day off to celebrate your birthday.

Join annual events like our Hackathon and DevDays to bring your ideas to life with talented teammates from around the world.

Become a part of our inclusive global culture and have the chance to collaborate with a diverse community – we have over 80 nationalities at TomTom!

We are the ADAS & ADS Product Unit, leading the production of TomTom’s HD maps and ADAS technology.

In a diverse team of applied scientists, engineers, data scientists, and more, equipped with a broad array of expertise, you’ll collaborate on groundbreaking location-based technologies and applications.

More specifically, you’ll be at the forefront of the creation of advanced HD maps. You’ll also help update these in real-time, ensuring our maps are pushing the world forward instantly. These maps will then go on to empower the largest car manufacturers, transportation giants, and major tech companies around the world.

You’ll help people find their way in the world. In 2004, TomTom revolutionized how the world moves with the introduction of the first portable navigation device. Now, we intend to do it again by engineering the first-ever real-time map, the smartest and most useful map on the planet.

Work with a team of 3,700 unique, curious and passionate problem-solvers. Together, we’ll open up a world of possibilities for car manufacturers, enterprises and developers to help people understand and get closer to the world around them.

Our recruitment team will work hard to give you a meaningful experience throughout your journey with us, no matter the outcome. Your application will be screened closely and you can rest assured that all follow-up actions will be thorough, from assessments and interviews all the way through onboarding. To find out more about our application process, check out our hiring FAQs.

TomTom is where you can find your place in the world. Every day we welcome, nurture and celebrate differences. Why? Because your uniqueness is what makes you, you. No matter your culture or background, you’ll find your impact at TomTom. Research also shows that sometimes women and underrepresented communities can be hesitant to apply for positions unless they believe they meet 100% of the criteria. If you can relate to this, please know that we’d love to hear from you.
