Design and specify satellite navigation payload systems, document requirements and interfaces, coordinate external contractors, manage development progress, and assess system risks and quality.
About this role
Based in the Future Space Systems Business Division, this role supports positioning products for future space infrastructure. It covers LEO-PNT, a low-Earth-orbit system intended to complement or replace GNSS, and LNSS, a lunar positioning system using weak GNSS signals for nanosecond-level time synchronization. The engineer works across receiver technology, payload integration, and orbit-time determination.
The work includes specifying satellite-mounted GNSS receivers, coordinating with suppliers, and evaluating GPS, Galileo, QZSS, and multi-frequency performance. It covers pseudorange, carrier-phase, and Doppler quality; C/N0, multipath, and cycle-slip analysis; GNSS-simulator verification; and interface design with timing-control systems. The role also develops ground-terminal receivers through signal-processing algorithms and software-receiver implementation, using Python, MATLAB, Windows, Linux, RF instruments, GitHub, and Git.
The stated foundation is deep expertise in GNSS receiver signal processing and positioning computation.
