Job description

GNSS Data Processing & Analysis

  • Process raw Multi-GNSS observations using precise point positioning (PPP), Post-Processed Kinematic (PPK), reduced dynamic, differential, undifferenced, and relative positioning techniques
  • Perform static, kinematic, and reduced dynamic Multi-GNSS data processing for ground-based, spaceborne, and airborne platform precise positioning and clock solutions including GNSS space vehicles, ground stations, and LEO geodetic satellites
  • Perform Multi-GNSS data processing in support of Earth Orientation Parameter (EOP) and reference frame solutions
  • Application and improvement of corrections for tropospheric delay, ionospheric delay, multipath, and other systematic error sources
  • Conduct integer ambiguity resolution to achieve centimeter-level positioning accuracy

Quality Assessment & Validation

  • Assess Multi-GNSS solution quality using statistical metrics, residual analysis, and independent validation datasets
  • Identify and mitigate systematic errors, outliers, and data gaps in Multi-GNSS observations
  • Compare Multi-GNSS-derived positions against ground truth and independent reference datasets
  • Document data quality issues and develop strategies for improvement

Integration & Geolocation

  • Integrate GNSS and IMU/INS data for precise platform positioning and attitude determination
  • Support geolocation of remote sensing data including laser altimeter measurements

Software & Tool Development

  • Develop, maintain, and improve GNSS data processing scripts and workflows using PERL, Fortran, C, Python, and similar languages
  • Work with Multi-GNSS processing software such as GIPSY-OASIS, BERNESE, and GEODYN
  • Automate data processing pipelines to handle large volumes of Multi-GNSS observations efficiently
  • Contribute to the development of data processing documentation and standard operating procedures

Collaboration & Communication

  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams including scientists, engineers, and project managers
  • Present technical results and findings to both technical and non-technical audiences
  • Contribute to technical reports, peer-reviewed publications, and conference presentations
  • Participate in field campaigns and provide on-site GNSS data collection support as needed

Requirements

  • Bachelor's (B.S.) degree in Aerospace Engineering, Geodesy, Geomatics, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, or a related field.
  • Minimum 5 years of experience in GNSS data processing and analysis.
  • Strong understanding of GNSS measurement models, error sources, and correction techniques.
  • Proficiency in at least one GNSS processing software package (e.g., GIPSY, BERNESE).
  • Experience with kinematic GNSS processing for spaceborne and airborne or mobile platforms.
  • Proficiency in Python, MATLAB, or C++ for data analysis and automation.
  • Familiarity with geodetic reference frames, coordinate systems, and datum transformations.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • U.S. Citizenship or Permanent Residency required., * Master's or Ph.D. in Geodesy, Geomatics, Navigation, Aerospace Engineering or a closely related field.
  • Experience with kinematic and reduced dynamic Precise Orbit Determination (POD) for spaceborne GNSS receivers.
  • Experience with precise positioning and clock solutions for GNSS space vehicles and ground stations.
  • Experience with Post-Processed Kinematic (PPK), Precise Point Positioning (PPP).
  • Experience with integer ambiguity resolution techniques.
  • Experience supporting airborne or spaceborne remote sensing missions.
  • Knowledge of satellite gravimetry and laser altimetry.
  • Familiarity with IMU/INS integration and tightly/loosely coupled GNSS/INS processing.
  • Active participation in the geodetic or GNSS research community (publications, conferences).
