About the role

  • We're looking for a Navigation Algorithms Engineer to join our Ground Software team.
  • This role is a great fit for someone with a solid foundation in statistics and estimation who wants to apply it to real satellite navigation systems.

Responsibilities

  • Estimation Pipelines: Collaborate on and help validate Precise Point Positioning (PPP) algorithms and other estimation pipelines across the navigation stack.
  • Collaboration & Growth: You'll collaborate closely with our navigation engineering team to ship early-stage prototypes and develop them into core pieces of our production pipeline
  • Collaborate on and help validate Precise Point Positioning (PPP) algorithms and other estimation pipelines across the navigation stack.

Requirements

  • Familiarity programming in both C++ and Python.
  • Internship, academic research, or project-based experience with navigation, estimation, or signal processing is welcomed in place of industry experience.
  • Familiarity with GNSS receiver internal mechanics or the GNSS signal processing chain.
  • Familiarity with GNSS data formats (RINEX, SP3, RTCM).
  • Familiarity with orbital mechanics, reference frames, and time systems.
  • For U.K. Roles: To comply with U.K. regulations, this role requires Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) checks, and successful candidates must be eligible to obtain UK Security Clearance (SC).
