What is a GNSS?

A GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) job involves working with satellite-based positioning, navigation, and timing technologies. Professionals in this field develop, maintain, and improve GNSS systems for applications such as surveying, mapping, transportation, and autonomous vehicles. They may work with GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, or BeiDou systems to ensure accurate and reliable location-based services. Roles can range from software development and signal processing to hardware engineering and data analysis, depending on the industry and specialization.

What does a GNSS specialist do?

A typical day for a GNSS specialist often involves setting up and calibrating GNSS receivers in the field, collecting and analyzing geospatial data, and troubleshooting any signal or hardware issues that arise. You may collaborate closely with surveyors, civil engineers, and data analysts to ensure precise location measurements for construction, mapping, or research projects. Office hours might be spent processing field data, preparing technical reports, and staying up to date with the latest GNSS technologies. This blend of hands-on technical work and data analysis offers a dynamic, challenging role for those who enjoy both fieldwork and problem-solving.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the GNSS position?

To thrive in a GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) specialist role, you need strong knowledge of satellite-based navigation, geodesy, and signal processing, typically supported by a degree in geomatics, engineering, or a related field. Expertise with GNSS receivers, data analysis software such as GIS, and familiarity with surveying or positioning systems are important, and certifications like ASPRS or similar may be an asset. Attention to detail, analytical thinking, and effective problem-solving skills are crucial soft skills for diagnosing and troubleshooting signal issues. These competencies are key to ensuring accurate positioning information and maintaining reliable geospatial data critical to various industries.

Full-time

Re-posted 15 days ago

Job description

Xona is the navigational intelligence company bringing real-time, centimeter-level certainty to any device, anywhere on Earth.
With Pulsar - the world's most advanced PNT satellite infrastructure in Low Earth Orbit - Xona will offer a future-proof, backwards-compatible global positioning system optimized for absolute precision, superior power, and robust protection.
Xona is seeking an analytical and self-driven GNSS engineer with a passion for solving technically complex problems in satellite navigation. The ideal candidate thrives in fast-paced, research-heavy environments, and can confidently work independently and collaboratively to deliver mission-critical insights. As a member of the product team, the chosen candidate will be expected to conduct deep-dive analyses on cutting-edge timing and positioning systems, participating in live-sky demonstrations as well as analytical and theoretical studies involving topics related to LEO-PNT and its wide range of applications- from reliable timing for critical infrastructure to battery power optimization on IoT/handheld devices. If you're experienced in both the theory and hands-on application of GNSS technologies, we'd love to hear from you.
Key Responsibilities Include:
  • Designing and conducting live-sky test campaigns showcasing Pulsar capabilities to
  • Assisting the execution of time-sensitive novel LEO PNT-related analyses to support ongoing and future company objectives.
  • Preparing technical resources and materials related to PULSAR-based PNT.
  • Contributing to white papers, internal reports, and technical documentation, leading detailed analysis on key GNSS research topics.

You Might be a Fit if:
  • You have a strong background in GNSS systems engineering, in both measurement and position engine development.
  • You are comfortable operating in a dynamic, research-driven environment with shifting technical priorities.
  • You take initiative on complex technical problems and enjoy producing detailed, standalone research and analysis.
  • You have hands-on experience working with GNSS test equipment and conducting lab-based signal validation.
  • You can work effectively in a team environment, contributing to the development of state-of-the art solutions.
  • You communicate effectively through written reports and verbal presentations.
  • You are familiar with project management principles and can act as a contributor or collaborator without friction.

Requirements:
  • Experience with theoretical analysis of GNSS performance in various environments using Python, C, C++, or MATLAB.
  • Availability to support occasional rapid-turnaround technical assessments.

Desired Qualifications:
  • Master's Degree or PhD in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Geomatics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or other relevant field.
  • 4+ years of experience working in GNSS.
  • Experience with the practical use of Linux-based systems.
  • Experience writing and presenting technical content to both internal and external stakeholders.
  • Prior experience with GNSS timing and UTC traceability.
  • Experience with precision GNSS corrections modeling and application.
  • A demonstrated ability to work independently on targeted research projects.
  • Strong project management skills and ability to collaborate.
  • Experience with hardware testing, including field testing and GNSS simulators.
