GPS Engineer Cyber Security
About The Position
The Geo-GPS Spoofing Cybersecurity Specialist serves as a subject matter expert on GNSS vulnerabilities, RF signal analysis, and anti-spoofing countermeasures. The role works with engineering, threat intelligence, and red-team operations to simulate attack scenarios, strengthen hardware and software architectures, and develop real-time detection systems for location-based spoofing. The position focuses on protecting critical infrastructure, aerospace systems, maritime navigation, and enterprise location-based services from electronic attacks. It is a full-time role in the Cyber Security / Threat Intelligence / PNT Security department, with a remote-first culture and access to lab facilities.
Requirements
- At least 4 years of hands-on experience in cybersecurity, RF engineering, or wireless communications security, specifically focused on GNSS/GPS technologies.
- Deep understanding of GNSS architectures, including GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou, and their signal structures.
- Proficiency with software-defined radios such as USRP, HackRF, or BladeRF, and tools such as GNURadio.
- Experience with sensor fusion, including combining GPS with IMUs, wheel odometers, or computer vision, for navigation resilience.
- Strong proficiency in Python, C++, or MATLAB for data analysis, signal processing, and automation.
- Familiarity with cryptographic protocols, secure boot, and hardware security modules (HSMs).
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Cybersecurity, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Must be a US citizen.
Nice To Haves
- Experience securing critical infrastructure, autonomous vehicles, or defense systems.
- Familiarity with commercial anti-spoofing modules or civil tiered authentication services such as Galileo OSNMA.
- Relevant certifications such as CISSP, OSCP, or specialized RF/wireless security credentials.
Responsibilities
- Investigate emerging GPS/GNSS spoofing, meaconing, and signal-jamming techniques affecting mobile, IoT, aviation, and maritime assets.
- Design and implement PNT anti-spoofing and authentication mechanisms, including cryptographic signal authentication and multi-sensor data fusion.
- Conduct controlled RF spoofing simulations and penetration tests in laboratory and field environments to evaluate system resilience.
- Build monitoring tools and algorithms that detect anomalous location shifts, signal-power discrepancies, and clock drift in real time.
- Partner with software and hardware engineering teams to integrate security best practices into product lifecycles.
- Deliver technical briefings and threat intelligence reports to executive leadership and enterprise clients.
Benefits
- Health, dental, and vision insurance with 100% premium coverage options.
- 401(k) matching program.
- Remote-first work environment with access to state-of-the-art lab facilities.
- Annual stipend for conferences, certifications, and technical training.
- Competitive compensation package commensurate with experience.
- Equity.
