Job summary

Analog Devices, a global semiconductor leader, seeks a Navigation & PNT Expert to design, develop, integrate, and validate advanced navigation systems. The role focuses on GNSS, inertial sensors, and sensor fusion, translating system needs into robust real-world solutions.

The candidate will drive strategy across defense, commercial, and space applications, with the ability to work remotly from a home office. 25% travel may be required.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's/Master's/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 for simulation/analysis.
• Experience with real-world data collection, calibration, and system testing.
• Strong problem-solving 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.
• Develop, tune, and validate navigation algorithms (EKF/UKF, tightly/loosely coupled fusion, integrity monitoring).
• Model and simulate PNT systems to predict performance and support system design decisions.
• Conduct GNSS signal analysis, including interference, spoofing detection, multipath characterization, resilience.
• Lead integration and testing in lab and field environments with representative sensors and platforms.
• Support system architecture development with PNT requirements and performance budgets.
• Collaborate with hardware, software, autonomy, guidance & control, and systems engineering teams.
