Los Angeles, United States Trust Point Inc. Full time

Join TrustPoint and Build the World's First Commercial GPS System in Space

GPS is a ubiquitous global utility in modern society and knowing one's location is critical for government, commercial, and personal applications. Still, today's solutions for determining location are inaccurate, slow, unencrypted, and susceptible to jamming and spoofing. These shortcomings make heritage GPS and other government owned systems insufficient for tomorrow's safety-critical and high-precision applications, a problem TrustPoint intends to solve.

TrustPoint is developing a fully commercial next-generation Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) to provide significant performance, security and reliability improvements for GPS users. This includes better accuracy, quicker Time to First Fix, and anti-spoof and anti-jam capabilities. The improvements will support US Government position and timing service resiliency as well as enable next-generation commercial applications like drone delivery, self-driving cars, urban air mobility, and augmented reality. The over $100B annual GNSS Receiver market is ripe for disruption and TrustPoint intends to lead that revolution with our microsatellite based commercial infrastructure and innovative positioning and timing services.

The Position

With locations outside Washington DC and in Silicon Valley, TrustPoint is currently seeking a full time Mission Systems Engineer to join our engineering team, lead customer programs, and help design, develop, and test a state-of-the-art GNSS high-accuracy positioning commercial system. Our system consists of a constellation of micro satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and a network of ground stations, which jointly provide secure high fidelity Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) signals. The Mission Systems Engineer is primarily responsible for leading commercial and government customer programs, and applying systems engineering tools and best practices to the design and development of our infrastructure, including the space and ground segment for the purpose of high precision time and position solutions. In addition to technical system and product development, they will lead customer interactions and participate in preparation of deliverables and execution of design reviews, integration and test events, and other program milestones.

The Mission Systems Engineer will be expected to research and advise on the state of GNSS industry best practices, tools, and products, as well as derive, implement, and verify the Space, Ground, and User Segment requirements specific to one or more commercial and government programs.. As an early hire, significant upward mobility is expected for this individual, including Manager, Director and VP level positions.
