About this role
Senior Navigation Engineer Washington, DC Who we are Helsing develops artificial intelligence-enabled capabilities to protect and defend democracies. We are growing our US operations, cultivating an ambitio u s and committed team of mission-driven professionals to apply their skills to solve challenging problems. The role Autonomous UAS depend on precise, resilient Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) to execute their missions. In the modern battlefield, GNSS is one of the most heavily contested signals in the electromagnetic spectrum, subject to sophisticated jamming and spoofing threats. As a GNSS and Navigation Engineer, you will own one of the most mission-critical capabilities for our long-range uncrewed platforms: their ability to know where they are and where they are going, even when the adversary is doing everything possible to deny that knowledge. You will design, develop, and integrate assured PNT solutions for UAS, with a focus on anti-jam and anti-spoof architectures. You will own GNSS performance end-to-end, from antenna selection (including CRPAs) through receiver integration (SAASM, M-Code) to sensor fusion with inertial and vision-based navigation systems. You make pragmatic decisions on when to integrate available solutions and when to develop new capabilities that ensure our platforms remain effective in GNSS-degraded and denied environments. Working closely with avionics, flight controls, RF, and systems engineering teams, you will be the key to ensuring our long-range UAS can navigate reliably, accurately, and securely through the most contested environments. The day-to-day - Design and develop resilient GNSS and navigation architectures for UAS, including multi-constellation, multi-frequency receivers and anti-jam/anti-spoof
