What You’ll Do

• Perform link budget analysis and modeling of GNSS and communication links;
• Analyze and simulate Controlled Reception Pattern Antennas (CRPAs) for anti-jam and anti-spoofing;
• Develop and simulate RF system models for satellite navigation and positioning applications;
• Evaluate and implement advanced signal processing techniques to improve accuracy and resilience;
• Integrate COTS GNSS antennas and receiver modules into embedded systems and products;
• Plan and execute laboratory testing of GNSS antennas and receivers, including validation and debugging;
• Collaborate across disciplines to ensure successful integration into UAV and defense platforms;
• Document technical findings, test results, and design decisions in a clear and structured way.

Requirements

What You´ll Need

• Deep knowledge of satellite-based Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) systems across space and ground segments;
• Expertise in at least one GNSS standard such as GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, or BeiDou; multi-system experience is highly valued;
• Strong understanding of RF receiver architectures and signal chains for navigation;
• Solid background in signal processing techniques including filtering, tracking, and interference mitigation;
• Thorough understanding of radio wave propagation effects such as multipath and fading;
• Strong grasp of antenna theory, including CRPA systems for anti-jam and anti-spoofing;
• Proficiency in Python for RF system modeling, signal analysis, and simulation workflows;
• Hands-on experience with GNSS jamming and spoofing scenarios is a strong plus.
