Navigation engineer

WHAT CHALLENGE WILL YOU BE TAKING ON

This is an exciting opportunity to work on innovative UAV and resilient navigation technologies contributing to projects that push the boundaries of autonomous systems and next-generation positioning navigation and
timing capabilities.

Working closely with our UAV team within the assured and resilient Positioning navigation and timing division. Youll take
control algorithms from concept to flight working with open-source flight stacks alongside GMVs in-house software to
make aircraft that fly well in the real world.

Alongside the UAV work youll have the opportunity to contribute to the diverse work of the division. Our mission is to
ensure that position and timing is available and reliable everywhere and every time. We work on multi-sensor fusion
positioning using space signals of opportunity advanced modelling and simulation AI tools interference detection and
