Swift Navigation is changing the way we navigate and understand the world. Trusted by major automotive OEMs, global industrial giants, and tier-1 technology platforms, Swift’s precise positioning solutions deliver centimeter-accurate GNSS (GPS) positioning to millions of devices worldwide. Our cloud-based software enables safer driving, optimized last-mile delivery, and new possibilities for robotics and automated systems. We are now leveraging this proven foundation to fundamentally upgrade the global mobile landscape, bringing high-accuracy positioning natively to consumer smartphones, enterprise fleets, and mass-market mobile hardware.
The Role
As the Product Manager for the Mobile Ecosystem, you will own the product definition, roadmap, and ecosystem strategy required to scale Swift’s location capabilities across global mobile platforms.
Working in a tight triad alongside Business Development, Product Marketing, and Engineering, you will focus on achieving product-market fit for early-stage mobile initiatives. Your mission is to drive our technology into native, device-level integrations that easily scale across hardware lines.
Key Responsibilities
- Native Integration Roadmap: Define product requirements for native, device-level activation of Swift’s positioning services via standard mobile operating system location APIs.
- Ecosystem Alignment: Partner with silicon vendors, device manufacturers, and major app developers to influence Swift’s roadmaps and ensure low-friction adoption.
- Segment Optimization: Build tailored product profiles and commercial requirements for both high-margin enterprise fleets (logistics, last-mile) and high-volume consumer mass-market devices.
- GTM Collaboration: Support the Business Development lead on technical evaluation units, early pilots, and proofs-of-concept, and the path to production with strategic global partners.
- Market Defense: Maintain an aggressive feature roadmap that outpaces proprietary alternatives and establishes Swift as the platform-neutral benchmark.
Qualifications
- Experience: 7+ years of product management and product marketing experience defining and shipping platform, deep-tech, or developer-facing products within the mobile or hardware landscape.
- Domain Knowledge: Solid understanding of the mobile positioning stack, location-based services (LBS), GNSS/GPS fundamentals, and/or mobile platform location frameworks (Android/iOS APIs).
- Ecosystem Fluency: Proven ability to navigate multi-sided markets, aligning incentives between chip design, hardware manufacturing, and app development.
- Core Skills: Excellent communication skills to bridge deep technical constraints with business strategy; comfortable with ambiguity and "0-to-1" product exploration.
Perks
- Flexible vacation days, competitive salary and stock options, employer-covered health insurance, 401(k), HSA.
- Stocked kitchen in our SF office, company events, catered lunches, tech talks, and learning and development budget for every employee.
- Growth and learning opportunities from a tech company environment include working closely with an international team of scientists, engineers, platform architects, programmers, and professionals.

What We Do
Swift Navigation, Inc. has been redefining GNSS positioning technology since 2012. What began as the industry’s first low-cost, high-accuracy, real-time kinematic (RTK) receiver has evolved into an ecosystem of GNSS positioning solutions for autonomous applications. The Starling® Positioning Engine is an integrated software solution for precise positioning while the Skylark™ Cloud Corrections Service delivers GNSS corrections across the contiguous U.S.—eliminating traditional geographical restrictions. Piksi® Multi and ruggedized Duro® and Duro Inertial RTK receivers deliver centimeter-level accuracy at an affordable price, making them ideal for commercial and industrial applications. Swift Navigation’s technology benefits a multitude of industries and applications—including autonomous vehicles, precision agriculture, robotics, rail, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and surveying. Swift Navigation is enabling a future of autonomous vehicles to navigate and understand the world. Its products deliver 100 times better accuracy than the GPS in a cell phone—at a fraction of the price of the competition. By optimizing inexpensive, off-the-shelf cell components with sophisticated software, Swift Navigation has built a reputation for defining a new category of GNSS systems as the industry’s first low-cost, high-accuracy RTK receiver. Swift Navigation is enabling a world where fields farm themselves, drones fly safely and autonomous transportation can take you home. Visit the company online at www.swiftnav.com.
