Overview Garmin Canada has exciting opportunities for full-time Software Engineers who have a hunger for solving real-world problems with embedded systems. Exciting things happen at the boundaries between disciplines. Where data science and engineering meet, you will be pushing the boundaries of industry leading algorithms that help people beat yesterday. In this role, you will be responsible for creating, productizing and maintaining new algorithms for fitness sensor products such as heart rate monitors, and cycling sensors. This team’s primary source of expertise in designing and implementing algorithms based on a range of sensor data that translate athlete dynamics into user-facing metrics. Examples of core algorithms developed and maintained by this team include IMU-based metrics like running power, and step speed loss. The team also develops and maintains Garmin’s EKG-based heart rate for chest straps. As a member of this team, you will take new fitness sensor metrics from concept through to productization. Essential Functions In our engineering team focused on algorithms for embedded systems, you will: Design innovative algorithms and prototype them in python Research and develop new algorithms and methods to leverage next generation hardware. Develop embedded software solutions, primarily in C or C++, to be used throughout Garmin’s fitness sensor products Participate in project planning, including providing technical input to product development plans and concept documents Collaborate in peer code reviews and technical assessments in areas of expertise, providing comments and suggestions to support software designs and new technologies Mentor less-experienced Software Engineers and interns, providing technical expertise and guidance Basic Qualifications Relevant Bachelor’s Degree with a cumulative GPA greater than or equal to 3.0 Relevant industry software engineering experience, which must include: Signal processing experience including digital filtering and spectral analysis Proven ability to develop innovative and creative solutions for complex problems Proficiency in writing software in C/C++ on embedded processors Experience collaborating in a team-based development environment, including code reviews and technical design discussions Proficiency with designing well-architected software systems and modules that support new technology or improve capability / performance of existing functionality Demonstrated desire to produce software that “just works” through in-depth testing Desired Qualifications: Experience using AI‑assisted development tools (e.g., script generation, refactoring, test creation) to improve development efficiency and code quality. Understanding of human biomechanics including kinematics and kinetics. Experience modeling and extracting metrics from physical systems Experience developing software on microcontrollers for small consumer electronic devices Experience working on multiple simultaneous development projects Experience debugging complex problems on embedded systems Interest and ability to learn other coding languages as needed Experience working on an Agile software team Proficient in using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multi meters, and debuggers to design, test and validate embedded systems Excitement to create and deliver products and features for Garmin’s running and cycling customers EEO Statement Garmin Canada is an equal opportunity employer. Qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, colour, ancestry, place of origin, religious beliefs, gender, gender identity, gender expression, age, physical disability, mental disability, marital status, family status, source of income, and sexual orientation.

Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.
144.883Jobs

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
