Searching for new stars in the dark universe

In close collaboration with DLR GfR’s software developers, we are looking for a GNSS engineer that leads the technical evolution of NAVCAST, coordinating all development and validation activities.

This includes testing the new cloud-hosted processing environment, ensuring coherence across Phase, Code, Orbit, and Clock corrections, and adapting the service to meet UAV user performance requirements.

The position will include tasks such as

• Implement a Navcast processing environment hosted by a cloud infrastructure service provider contracted by DLR GfR (similar to the existing Navcast environment running on the Open Telekom Cloud)
• Make the existing Navcast service compliant to user performance requirements flown down by U-space customers
• Develop a PPP-AR/RTK algorithm and SSR/OSR/CSSR converter tools
• Support the implementation of INTEGRITY functionalities for Navcast (Protection Level computation) and a CSSR-based broadcast mechanism for all corrections
• Support the development of a User Terminal (algorithm + receiver) that integrates the outputs from point 3 and 4 into a mobile user device
• Support the End-to-End validation of the new service by generating test procedures, executing them and documenting the outcomes
• Contributions to other tasks as specified by project management.

Key Qualifications

• A strong background in GNSS Navigation and familiarity with the topic of Navigation INTEGRITY
• Experience with Software development methodologies
• Experience with Satellite Navigation technology and applications
• A profound knowledge of orbit determination and improvement, time transfer and precise point positioning (PPP/PPPAR/ PPP-RTK)
• The ability/willingness to become an expert for the core processing engines for Real-Time GNSS orbit (BERNESE) and clock determination (RETICLE), incl. Code and Phase Bias Estimations.
• Significant experience with Linux environments (hardware and software installations, shell scripting, network design, software debugging)
• Experience with programming languages like Fortran, Perl, Python or C/C++.
• Real-time software services and networking.
• Experience with the NAVCAST service would be considered a strong asset.

Working Location

This is a full-time position to be located at DLR premises in Munich, Germany with an expected start date as soon as possible.
