The multiple redundancy position sensor device (100) intended for detecting the position of a shifter lever (20) in a shifter device (10), comprises a first magnetic sensor (200) and a second magnetic sensor (300) facing the first magnetic sensor (200), one of said sensors (200, 300) being a dual die magnetic sensor. A polarized magnet (400) is arranged between the sensors (200, 300) such that it can be rotated with at least one degree of freedom, whereby a signal based on the angular position of the polarized magnet (400) relative to the first and second magnetic sensors (200, 300) corresponding to a shifter lever position can be output to control a vehicle transmission.
