Job description

We are looking for a highly motivated GNSS Navigation Engineer to join our team at VyomIC, where we are building the next-generation Global LEO- PNT(Positioning, Navigation, and Timing) satellite constellation from India.

In this role, you will be responsible for developing robust and high-precision navigation solutions, including PVT estimation algorithms, signal processing pipelines, correction models, navigation message frameworks, and resilient positioning techniques for LEO-based systems.

You will work at the intersection of GNSS engineering, navigation algorithms, signal processing, and system architecture, helping define the core navigation intelligence of VyomIC’s constellation.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop advanced PVT (Position, Velocity, Time) algorithms for LEO-PNT systems.
• Develop and optimize:
• Doppler-based positioning and velocity estimation
• Carrier-phase processing techniques
• Navigation filtering and estimation pipelines
• Develop and implement correction techniques for:
• Ionospheric errors
• Tropospheric errors
• Perform system-level simulation and modeling of GNSS signals.
• Support development of high-accuracy positioning services such as:
• PPP (Precise Point Positioning)
• Differential correction frameworks
• Hybrid GNSS + LEO positioning approaches
• Perform system-level simulation and modeling of GNSS and LEO-PNT signals.
• Analyze signal robustness under:
• Interference
• Jamming
• Spoofing
• High-dynamic LEO conditions
• Build simulation and validation environments for navigation performance evaluation.
• Conduct performance analysis for accuracy, integrity, availability, continuity, and convergence.
• Collaborate with hardware, mission design, and GNSS team to ensure seamless integration of signal design into payload and receiver platforms.
• Support prototype implementation and testing, including software receivers, SDRs, and hardware-in-the-loop setups.
• Stay updated with the latest global GNSS and LEO-PNT advancements, standards, and regulatory requirements.

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong background in digital communications, signal processing, satellite navigation systems, Estimation theory
• Hands-on experience with GNSS signals (GPS, Galileo, NavIC, etc.),
• Strong understanding of:
• Navigation measurements
• Doppler and pseudorange processing
• Navigation coordinate frames and timing systems
• Proficiency in MATLAB, Python, or C/C++ for simulation and algorithm development.
• Familiarity with simulation tools (MATLAB/Simulink, GNU Radio, etc.).

Preferred Skills & Experience

• Prior work on GNSS/PNT signal processing.
• Knowledge of PPP/PPP-RTK systems, LEO-PNT systems.
• Knowledge of interference mitigation, and anti-jamming/anti-spoofing techniques.
• Experience with hardware testing, FPGA/DSP implementations, or software-defined receivers.
• Ability to work in cross-functional teams bridging signal design, system architecture, and hardware realization.

Why Join Us

• Build the future of global navigation - Be the part of the revolution, work on a mission that redefines how the world connects, navigates, and operates in the new age.
