Description:
We are seeking an experienced GNSS Engineer to join our team, focusing on the development and enhancement of advanced GNSS solutions for mission-critical applications. The ideal candidate will bring extensive experience in GNSS system design, testing, and optimization, with specialized expertise in anti-jamming and anti-spoofing techniques. This role involves leading high-stakes projects to deliver robust, accurate, and secure GNSS-based systems capable of performing in contested and challenging environments.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design and develop GNSS receiver systems (hardware and software) for high-precision applications, including autonomous vehicle navigation, geodetic surveying, and critical infrastructure timing synchronization.
- Develop and optimize signal processing algorithms for GNSS signal acquisition, tracking, and interference suppression, ensuring performance under adverse conditions.
- Implement positioning algorithms such as Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) and Precise Point Positioning (PPP) to achieve centimeter-level accuracy in real-world scenarios.
- Integrate anti-jamming techniques (e.g., adaptive beamforming, null steering) and anti-spoofing measures (e.g., signal authentication, spoofing detection algorithms) to protect GNSS systems from interference and deception attacks.
- Lead field testing and validation campaigns, including simulations and real-world tests to evaluate system performance under jamming, spoofing, and multipath conditions.
- Analyze GNSS data to mitigate errors from multipath effects, ionospheric/tropospheric delays, and radio frequency interference (RFI).
- Collaborate with hardware, software, and systems engineering teams to integrate GNSS solutions into platforms like unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or precision agriculture systems.
- Drive project milestones, such as the delivery of a multi-constellation GNSS receiver resilient to spoofing for various .
- Mentor junior engineers and contribute to technical proposals for new GNSS projects.
Required Skills and Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical/ Electronics Engineering, Geomatics, Aerospace Engineering, Space Sciences / Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) or related field.
- Minimum of 5 years of direct experience in GNSS engineering, including at least 3 years focused on anti-jamming and anti-spoofing techniques.
- Proven track record of projects/ research papers such as: 1. Developing a GNSS receiver with adaptive filtering to counter jamming. 2. Implementing spoofing detection algorithms especially for a timing synchronization system in critical infrastructure.
- Expertise in signal processing techniques, including space-time adaptive processing (STAP) and multi-antenna interference mitigation.
- Strong programming skills in C++, Python, and MATLAB for algorithm development, simulation, and data analysis.
- Hands-on experience with GNSS simulation tools and RF test equipment to replicate jamming/spoofing scenarios.
- In-depth knowledge of GNSS receiver architecture, RF front-end design, and antenna systems optimized for multi-frequency signals (e.g., L1, L2, L5).
- Familiarity with GNSS standards and formats (e.g., NMEA, RTCM, IS-GPS-200) and multi-constellation systems (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou).
- Experience in sensor fusion, combining GNSS with IMUs or other sensors for enhanced reliability in urban or obstructed environments.
- Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to lead complex technical projects from concept to deployment.
