WHAT CHALLENGE WILL YOU BE TAKING ON?

This role will focus on the development of the analog processing chain (front-end) for GNSS receivers, including requirements definition, architecture design, component selection, integration, prototype development, and experimental validation through hardware testing.

• Define and analyze the technical and functional requirements of RF systems.
• Design RF system architectures, identifying the required functional blocks and their interfaces.
• Select and integrate commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components, such as oscillators and ADCs.
• Design and develop prototypes of the analog processing chain (front-end) for GNSS receivers.
• Define, plan, and execute functional tests to verify compliance with system requirements.
• Perform hardware integration and validation activities, identifying issues and proposing technical solutions.
• Use laboratory equipment for prototype characterization and verification, carrying out measurements and analyzing results.
• Prepare system technical documentation, including specifications, architecture descriptions, interface definitions, test procedures, and validation reports.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams in the integration of electronic and RF systems.

WHAT DO WE NEED IN OUR TEAM?

For this position, we are looking for a candidate with at least 2 years of experience in RF hardware systems development.

• University degree in Systems Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Telecommunications Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience in systems engineering, including requirements definition, system design, functional architecture, and interface definition.
• Experience in the design and integration of electronic systems based on commercial off-the-shelf components.
• Experience in the definition, preparation, and execution of hardware functional tests, as well as requirements verification activities.
• Hands-on experience using laboratory equipment for hardware testing and characterization, such as oscilloscopes, signal generators, spectrum analyzers, and multimeters.
• Ability to analyze experimental results, identify integration issues, and propose technical solutions.
• Experience in preparing technical documentation, including requirements specifications, design documents, test procedures, and validation reports.

• Knowledge of the analog reception chain for GNSS signals.
• Familiarity with CRPA (Controlled Reception Pattern Antenna) technology.

WHAT DO WE OFFER?

• Hybrid working model and 8 weeks per year of teleworking outside your usual geographical area.
• Flexible start and finish times, and intensive working hours Fridays and in summer.
• Personalized career plan development, training and language learning support.
• National and international mobility. Do you come from another country? We can offer you a relocation package.
• Competitive compensation with ongoing reviews, flexible compensation and discount on brands.
