Location: Paris
Workplace: Onsite
Employment Type: Full time
Job Function: Solutions Engineering & Sales Engineering
Seniority: Mid level

Key Responsibilities

  • •Drive the architecture and implementation of navigation/PNT solutions for autonomous platforms.
  • •Develop navigation resilient to GNSS degradation, including jamming and spoofing (anti-jam/anti-spoof).
  • •Design multi-sensor fusion using GNSS, INS/IMU, RF, and vision, with estimation and filtering algorithms.
  • •Design test plans, run simulations and replays, and report findings versus performance targets.
  • •Collaborate across HW, software, EW, and ML teams on technical interfaces, system trade-offs, and documentation.

Key Requirements

  • •Strong mathematical background with good physical intuition.
  • •Experience with GNSS, INS/IMU, and navigation/estimation filters (e.g., Kalman filtering), especially in tightly-coupled architectures.
  • •Experience navigating in GNSS-denied or contested environments.
  • •Familiarity with RF and Electronic Warfare constraints, including GNSS jamming/spoofing.
  • •MSc in Engineering (aerospace, robotics, EE or related); PhD is a plus.
