  • Preparing technical resources and materials related to Pulsar-based PNT including contributing to white papers, internal reports, and technical documentation, leading detailed analysis on key GNSS research topics.

  • Partner with business teams on research driven customer demonstrations, including feasibility analysis, test plan development, onsite execution, and delivery of rigorous technical reports.

You Might be a Fit if:

  • You have a strong background in GNSS receiver design, in both measurement and position engine development.

  • You are comfortable operating in a dynamic, research-driven environment with shifting technical priorities.

  • You take initiative on complex technical problems and enjoy producing standalone research and analysis.

  • You have hands-on experience working with GNSS test equipment and conducting lab-based signal validation.

  • You can work effectively in a team environment, contributing to the development of state-of-the art solutions.

  • You communicate effectively through written reports and verbal presentations.

  • You are familiar with project management principles and can act as a contributor or collaborator without friction.

Requirements:

  • Master’s Degree or PhD in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Geomatics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or other relevant fields.

  • 2+ years of experience working in GNSS.

  • Experience with theoretical analysis of GNSS performance in various environments using Python, C, C++, or MATLAB.

  • Availability to support occasional rapid-turnaround technical assessments.

Desired Qualifications:

  • Experience writing and presenting technical content to both internal and external stakeholders.

  • Prior experience with GNSS timing and UTC traceability.

  • Experience with precision GNSS corrections modeling and application.

  • Theoretical understanding and practical experience with multipath characterization, reflection modeling, and signal-level or measurement-level mitigation techniques.

  • A demonstrated ability to work independently on targeted research projects.

  • Strong project management skills and ability to collaborate.

  • Experience with hardware testing, including field testing and GNSS simulators.

  • Experience with the practical use of Linux-based systems.
