Research Fellowship Opportunity in the Directorate of Technology, Engineering and Quality. ESA is an equal opportunity employer, committed to achieving diversity within the workforce and creating an inclusive working environment. Applications from women are encouraged. Post Internal Research Fellow PostDoc in Radio Navigation This post is classified F2 on the Coordinated Organisations salary scale. Location ESTEC, Noordwijk, The Netherlands Our team and mission The Radio Frequency RF Systems Division provides expert support to ESA programmes in the RF system and technology domains, which include navigation, telecommunication, Earth observation and science. It contributes to the technological development of the Agency. It runs the associated laboratory facilities and manages the associated investments. The Radio Navigation Systems and Techniques Section covers radio navigation techniques and technologies, elements and subsystems capable of generating, receiving, exploiting and analysing the signals from the current and upcoming radio navigation systems GPS, Glonass, EGNOS, Galileo, Beidou, etc., including system design tools and navigation equipment. Emphasis is placed on the engineering aspects, the GNSS system and subsystem evolution, design and technological demonstrator prototyping, and specifically on navigation system design and tools, novel navigation techniques and equipment design and prototyping, onboard receivers and formationflying RF metrology. Fields of activitiesresearch Positioning and navigation have become essential functions in everyday life for professional and massmarket usage. This leads to a continuous extension of the user base phones, wearables, watches, etc., operating environments cities, indoor, etc. and improvement of performance accuracy, resilience, power consumption, etc. The field in which the selected research fellow will focus their activities is signal processing and navigation algorithms to enhance performance and resilience of PNT PositionNavigationTiming solutions in challenging environments multipath and nonlineofsight impairments, interference, etc.. There are two main activities which could be foreseen 1 The first activity will focus on the development of algorithms, in particular navigation algorithms, to enhance the accuracy of GNSS and hybrid GNSS solutions. The main focus shall be on terrestrial users and technologies. 2 The second activity aims at developing solutions combining the latest GNSS with the latest alternative and backup PNT technologies 5G landscape, signal of opportunity incoming from LEO satcoms, etc. to achieve seamless ubiquitous accurate positioning. For the aforementioned activities, development is meant in the broadest sense, covering the design, implementation and testing of solutions e.g. testing through laboratory and field campaigns.
