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.
