GNSS Engineer

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.

GNSS Engineer

Overview

Daily life is underpinned by satellite navigation infrastructure, the global economy relies on GNSS and in the UK it is worth an estimated £13,622m per year, supporting everything from consumer applications, to transportation, to time sync for critical infrastructure. As these industries progress towards autonomy, the performance and security demands of their Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) systems are increasing beyond what GNSS can support, leaving a need for a cost-effective global solution.

Xona is seeking a GNSS Engineer to join our growing UK team. As a member of this team, you will collaborate with our navigation and software engineers in the support of the development and certification of next generation LEO GNSS downstream applications. You will plan and conduct GNSS testing across lab and field environments, working closely with partners and early customers to shape hardware selection and test design, and to rigorously evaluate and characterize performance across varying operational conditions.

Key Responsibilities include:

- Lab Testing & Simulation: You will test and verify GNSS receivers and simulators to ensure performance across both controlled setups and representative operational scenarios. You will be responsible for designing simulation activities and analyzing results from simulations and testing across commercial programs.

- Software Development: You will be supporting software development and engineering activities which may include algorithm development, test automation or Digital Signal Processing (DSP) for GNSS and Pulsar signals.
