Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Design, build, and operate the ground infrastructure and mission operations for a commercial GNSS constellation. Responsibilities include mission planning, flight dynamics analysis, and the development of mission operations software and data pipelines.
Requires a BS or MS in Aerospace Engineering or a related field, with a PhD preferred. Candidates must be U.S. Persons with proficiency in flight dynamics tools and programming languages like Python or C++.
GPS is a ubiquitous global utility in modern society; 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 today’s GPS insufficient for tomorrow’s safety-critical and high-precision applications.
TrustPoint is developing a fully commercial next-generation GPS service to provide significant performance, security and reliability improvements for GPS users. Our work includes both the development and launch of orbiting satellites along with the software needed to provide better accuracy, faster positioning, and both anti-spoof and anti-jam advanced 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 $260B annual GNSS Hardware, Software and Data Services market is ripe for disruption and TrustPoint intends to lead that revolution with our commercial infrastructure and services.
With locations outside Washington DC and in Silicon Valley, TrustPoint is currently seeking a Full Time Satellite Operations Engineer to join the team and help design, build, and operate the ground infrastructure required for our commercial Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) constellation. You will be responsible for mission planning, mission operations software architecture, constellation management, and flight dynamics as we grow from initial launch to a fully operational service. You will also support broader TrustPoint engineering needs including flight software development and data processing pipelines. As an early hire with deep academic preparation, significant upward mobility will be available to this individual given strong performance, including technical lead and senior engineer roles in the coming years.
The selected candidate will be competitively compensated with salary, equity (stock options), and standard benefits.
