Job summary

Analog Devices, Inc. seeks a Navigation & PNT Expert to lead the design, development, integration, and validation of advanced navigation systems for defense, commercial, and space applications.

You will apply GNSS, inertial sensors, sensor fusion, and timing to deliver reliable real-world solutions while interfacing with hardware, software, autonomy, guidance & control, and systems engineering teams. The role can be conducted remotely from a home office in the United States.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Robotics, Computer Science, Physics, or related field.
• 10+ years of experience in PNT, navigation systems, or related domains.
• Strong understanding of GNSS (GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou) and augmentation systems (SBAS, RTK, PPP)
• Inertial sensors (IMUs), magnetometers, barometers, wheel odometry, etc.
• Navigation and sensor-fusion algorithms (EKF/UKF, error-state filtering, SLAM)
• Timing systems (oscillators, synchronization, clock modeling)
• Proficiency with MATLAB, Python, C/C++, ROS
• Experience with real-world data collection, calibration, and system testing
• Strong problem-solving ability and communication skills
• US Citizenship required

Responsibilities

• Design and develop PNT solutions, including GNSS-based systems, inertial navigation, vision-based navigation, and multi-sensor fusion architectures.
• Analyze and improve positioning, navigation, and timing performance under diverse operational environments (e.g., GNSS-denied, urban canyon, RF-challenged).
• Develop, tune, and validate navigation algorithms, including Kalman filters, tightly/loosely coupled fusion, integrity monitoring, and error-state modeling.
• Model and simulate PNT systems to predict performance, assess sensor trade-offs, and support system design decisions.
• Conduct GNSS signal analysis, including interference, spoofing detection, multipath characterization, and resilience enhancement.
• Lead integration and testing in laboratory and field environments using representative sensors and platforms.
• Support system architecture development, providing expert input on PNT requirements, interfaces, and performance budgets.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including hardware, software, autonomy, guidance & control, and systems engineering.
• Document and communicate findings, presenting test results, performance analyses, and recommendations to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
