About the Role

Our client, a deep-tech space startup, is building a next-generation global LEO-PNT (Positioning, Navigation, and Timing) satellite constellation from India. They're looking for a highly motivated GNSS Receiver Engineer to join their core team.

In this role, you will design, simulate, test, and optimize new LEO-PNT signals, and develop GNSS receiver functions such as acquisition, tracking, and decoding to generate accurate PVT outputs. You'll work where signal design, system engineering, and performance validation meet, making sure the system holds up against noise, Doppler, and interference. You'll use SDR tools like GNU Radio and MATLAB to build and evaluate receiver performance, and your work will feed directly into the core architecture of the constellation.

Key Responsibilities

Design and validate advanced GNSS/PNT signal structures for LEO satellites

Implement GNSS receiver blocks: acquisition, tracking, and navigation message decoding

Develop and optimize PLL, DLL, and FLL tracking loops

Perform Doppler search and code phase estimation

Simulate and analyze signal performance under multipath, interference, and jamming conditions

Validate acquisition, tracking, and decoding algorithms, and optimize them for compatibility and interoperability

Work with hardware, mission design, and GNSS teams to integrate signal design into payload and receiver platforms

Support prototype implementation and testing, including software receivers, SDRs, and hardware-in-the-loop setups

Stay updated on global GNSS and LEO-PNT advancements, standards, and regulations

Required Skills & Experience

Strong knowledge of signal processing for GNSS receivers





Hands-on experience with acquisition and tracking algorithms

Proficiency in MATLAB, Python, or C/C++

Understanding of modulation techniques (BPSK, QPSK, BOC)

Familiarity with SDR tools like GNU Radio and Octave

Ability to process IQ data and build receiver pipelines

Knowledge of performance metrics (C/N₀, SNR, tracking accuracy)

Good to Have

Prior work on GNSS/PNT signal processing and knowledge of LEO-PNT systems

Experience in SDR implementation and real-time receiver development

Knowledge of error correction coding, interference mitigation, and anti-jamming/anti-spoofing techniques

Experience with hardware testing and validation, FPGA/DSP implementations, or software-defined receivers

Ability to debug the full pipeline: Signal → Acquisition → Tracking → PVT

Comfort working across signal design, system architecture, and hardware teams
