๐ผ About This Role
You'll own RF geolocation algorithms for a commercial space-based system in active customer use. Your core impact will be analyzing real satellite data to drive systematic performance improvements through iterative, hands-on algorithm refinement. This role offers the rare opportunity to deeply understand and enhance a working production geolocation system from first principles.
๐ฏ What You'll Do
- Develop TDOA, FDOA, and AoA geolocation algorithms from first principles
- Analyze geolocation outputs against ground truth to identify systematic errors
- Model and characterize error sources including satellite ephemeris and propagation effects
- Translate algorithm improvements into specifications for production implementation
๐ Requirements
- Advanced degree (MSc or PhD) in electrical engineering, physics, or applied mathematics
- Strong mathematical foundation in estimation theory, linear algebra, and probability
- Proficiency in Python for prototyping, simulation, and data analysis
- Comfort with imperfect real-world datasets and iterative, data-driven development
โจ Nice to Have
- Direct experience with TDOA, FDOA, or AoA geolocation techniques
- Background in SIGINT, electronic warfare, or GNSS signal processing
- C++ reading proficiency for reviewing production implementations
