TL;DR · Staff Hardware Engineer– GNSS Connectivity

As a Staff Hardware Engineer specializing in GNSS at our company, you will lead the definition and validation of Global Navigation Satellite System solutions for automotive connectivity and compute platforms. You’ll work closely with product management, systems engineering, RF teams, suppliers, and validation groups to ensure robust performance across various vehicle types. Your daily tasks include translating high-level requirements into detailed hardware specifications, collaborating on design reviews, evaluating GNSS chipsets and components, and developing test plans for conducted RF testing. Key skills required are a deep understanding of GNSS systems, experience with RF test equipment, and the ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams. This role demands expertise in automotive GNSS applications, coexistence issues between wireless systems, and knowledge of relevant EMC/EMI standards.

What you'll do

  • Define end-to-end GNSS hardware and system requirements for automotive connectivity modules.
  • Translate product-level requirements into clear engineering specifications for GNSS performance metrics.
  • Evaluate and select GNSS solutions, influencing supplier technology roadmaps to align with long-term strategy.
  • Develop schematics for GNSS signal chains, including RF front-end and filtering components.
  • Define and execute conducted RF test plans for GNSS, analyzing data for actionable design feedback.
  • Define end-to-end vehicle-level GNSS performance requirements and develop corresponding test cases.

What we're looking for

  • 10+ years of experience in GNSS and RF hardware design or validation.
  • Strong understanding of multiple GNSS systems (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou).
  • Proven ability to translate system requirements into detailed hardware specifications.
  • Hands-on experience with RF test equipment for GNSS performance testing.
  • Expertise in schematic design and PCB layout review for RF/GNSS circuits.
  • Knowledge of automotive EMC/EMI standards relevant to GNSS systems.
