What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior GNSS Engineer – Measurement Layer position at oneNav, Inc.?
Senior GNSS Engineer – Measurement Layer
Would you like to experience the thrill of working from the ground up on a first-generation product? Are you passionate about delivering the optimum design for multiple customers? Do you seek a position where your accomplishments matter? oneNav is building a next generation GNSS receiver that will shake up the industry. There will be opportunities to broaden your skill set in areas such as GNSS, various assemblers, RTL verification and firmware development. This position is based in Tampere, Finland with an established hybrid working environment.
Location: Tampere / Finland, remote/hybrid work
Employment type: Full-time
About The Role
We’re seeking a Senior GNSS Engineer to drive the architecture and development of our GNSS measurement layer—the critical foundation of positioning accuracy and robustness. You’ll own the design and implementation of sophisticated algorithms for signal tracking, acquisition, and interference mitigation that operate in real-world conditions: urban canyons, contested RF environments, and multi-constellation scenarios. This is an algorithm design and implementation role for someone who combines deep GNSS expertise with hands-on software engineering skills. You’ll architect solutions, write production code, and directly influence product performance.
Key Responsibilities
Deep GNSS measurement layer knowledge including:
oneNav is powered by a world-class group of GNSS innovators and engineers, bringing together leading talent from industry giants such as Qualcomm, Apple, Intel, SnapTrack, SiRF, and Trimble. Our team members have spent decades advancing the state of satellite navigation and mobile technology, contributing deep expertise in GNSS system architecture, multipath mitigation, advanced signal processing, ASIC development, and modern AI/ML techniques. Collectively, our engineers have authored more than 200 patents throughout their careers, underscoring a long history of driving breakthrough innovation in positioning technologies.
Backed by top-tier investors—including Norwest Ventures, GSR Ventures, and Google Ventures—oneNav combines technical excellence with strong industry support.
