About the role
- Xona is the navigational intelligence company bringing real-time, centimeter-level certainty to any device, anywhere on Earth.
- For Canada Roles: Successful candidates must obtain and hold a security clearance at the reliability status level, and pass security assessment for the Canadian Controlled Goods Program (CGP) and ITAR.
- We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
Responsibilities
- Developing and optimizing acquisition and tracking algorithms for our LEO PNT signals
- Analyzing signal designs and data modulation schemes, evaluating tradeoffs between receiver complexity and performance
- We're seeking a GNSS Receiver Engineer to join our Navigation Software team, where you'll work at the intersection of signal design and receiver implementation.
- You'll be instrumental in developing and validating the receiver architectures that process our novel LEO PNT signals from acquisition and tracking through measurement generation.
- you'll help shape how our signal-in-space design translates into real receiver performance, working directly with our Interface Control Documents (ICD) to ensure our modulation schemes, navigation message formats, and signal structures are implementable and optimized for precision.
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience with GNSS receiver development or signal processing
- Strong C++ programming skills with experience in real-time or embedded signal processing
- Hands-on experience with software-defined radio platforms (GNSS-SDR, GNU Radio, or similar)
- Experience with carrier and code tracking loop design (DLL, PLL, FLL)
- Familiarity with measurement generation-pseudorange, carrier phase, Doppler
- Experience with LEO satellite signals or high-Doppler tracking scenarios
- Familiarity with navigation message decoding and frame synchronization
- Experience translating ICDs into receiver implementations
- 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).
- Exposure to signal authentication or advanced modulation schemes (BOC, CSK, etc.)
