Job description

  • Define and own the end-to-end GNSS receiver software architecture, including acquisition, tracking, measurement engine, navigation, and positioning stack.
  • Lead architectural decisions for low-power, high-performance GNSS chipsets, balancing performance, power, and silicon constraints.
  • Translate product requirements into scalable, modular, and maintainable software architectures.
  • Drive design trade-offs across algorithm complexity, hardware acceleration, and system constraints.
  • Design and optimize advanced algorithms for GNSS acquisition and tracking (multi-constellation, multi-frequency), Positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT), Multipath mitigation and interference suppression, Snapshot and ultra-low-power GNSS techniques.
  • Lead development of next-generation techniques such as Assisted GNSS (A-GNSS), Hybrid positioning (GNSS + Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/IMU), LEO-PNT and emerging navigation paradigms.
  • Oversee implementation of GNSS algorithms in embedded C on RTOS / bare-metal systems, FPGA with focus on performance optimization, high-volume silicon deployment.
  • Mentor and guide engineers, contractors in GNSS algorithms and embedded development. Set technical direction and promote engineering best practices, design standards and lead technical reviews, architecture discussions, decision-making processes.
  • Cross-Functional collaboration with product management to shape feature roadmap and differentiation strategy. Present technical concepts and results to internal and external stakeholders, including leadership teams and customers.

Requirements

  • Master's or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Signal Processing, or related field.
  • 10+ years of experience in GNSS, wireless communication systems, or signal processing.
  • Proven track record in GNSS system design and product development.
  • Deep understanding of the GNSS signal processing chain, including acquisition, tracking, measurements, and navigation.
  • Strong expertise in embedded C/C++ development on RTOS or bare-metal platforms.
  • MATLAB and Python for modelling and algorithm development.
  • Experience with full chip/product lifecycle, from concept to production.
  • Strong understanding of low-power embedded system design and optimization.
  • Excellent communication, presentation, and technical leadership skills., * Experience in GNSS software architecture ownership for commercial products.
  • Knowledge of multi-constellation and multi-frequency GNSS systems (GPS, Galileo, BeiDou, GLONASS).
  • Experience with RF front-end integration, calibration, and lab validation setups.
  • Familiarity with FPGA prototyping and ASIC design flows.
  • Knowledge of SDR (Software Defined Radio) systems.
  • Knowledge of wireless technologies (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, IoT positioning).
  • Knowledge of sensor fusion and hybrid positioning systems.
  • Knowledge of LEO-PNT, GNSS-R, or emerging navigation technologies.
  • Knowledge of high precision positioning.
  • Demonstrated experience in leading teams or mentoring engineers.
