Key responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and test software solutions for Trustpoint's proprietary Payload and advanced electronics systems.

  • Evaluate system and test electrical and software performance using hardware‑in‑the‑loop environments.

Job description

Join TrustPoint and Build the World’s First Commercial GPS System in Space

GPS is a ubiquitous global utility in modern society; knowing one’s location is critical for government, commercial, and personal applications. Still, today’s solutions for determining location are inaccurate, slow, unencrypted, and susceptible to jamming and spoofing. These shortcomings make GPS insufficient for tomorrow’s safety‑critical and high‑precision applications, a problem TrustPoint intends to solve.

TrustPoint is developing a fully commercial next‑generation GPS service to provide significant performance, security and reliability improvements for GPS users. This includes better accuracy, quicker Time to First Fix, and anti‑spoof and anti‑jam capabilities. The improvements will support US Government position and timing service resiliency as well as enable next‑generation commercial applications like drone delivery, self‑driving cars, urban air mobility, and augmented reality. The $260B annual GNSS Hardware, Software and Data Services market is ripe for disruption and TrustPoint intends to lead that revolution with our commercial infrastructure and services.

The Position

TrustPoint is currently seeking a Full Time Embedded Software Engineer to join the team and will be responsible for implementing electrical components into hardware and firmware needed for our commercial Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS).

  • Support the Space and Ground Segment Operations team in system commissioning, operations automation, anomaly investigation and mitigation.
  • Test software in simulation and hardware‑in‑the‑loop environments, including the development of comprehensive unit and regression tests.
  • Must have worked on CI/CD utilizing tools such as gitlab‑runner, bitbucket pipelines or jenkins.
  • Must have knowledge of one scripting language such as Python, Shell scripts etc.
  • Must have knowledge of one build tools such as Make, Bitbake, Cmake, Meson, etc.
  • Travel up to 20%
We’d Like to See…
  • Have worked directly in the Space Payload Systems, designed and developed Flight/Mission Software and integrated software used in different subsystems.
  • Have worked in the software development of GNSS, GPS and PNT solutions or application of positioning solutions. Have designed and implemented device drivers and kernel drivers in linux or RTOS.
  • Experience with FPGAs, Hardware RTL, SDR development.
