Position: Test Automation Engineer (Geo Positioning Project)
Company: Sigma Software
Category: QA Automation
Experience required: 2y
English level: intermediate

**Project**

The goal of the project is to develop a multi-component system, which is capable of determining a user device's geographical location in the operator's network with sufficient accuracy and relay this information to other commercial or emergency applications.

The system can calculate the position of the device by using information accessible on the device itself and by querying the mobile network for location information. The GPS coordinates are then transferred for the proper application. The product implements 3GPP and OMA standard interfaces therefore network operators are able to use it in their standard mobile networks.

The project will unite multiple positioning algorithms under the hood, and will allow to use 2G/3G/LTE/WCDMA, etc. networks as a communication layer, as well as to perform geo positioning in hard-to-reach planet areas (e.g. rescue operations in mountains, forests, deserts, etc.).
