Jobs at Advanced Navigation

Lead development and characterization of inertial sensor technologies for navigation systems. Responsibilities include designing sensor tests, developing calibration techniques, analyzing performance data, selecting third-party sensors, and integrating sensors across product lines. The role requires multidisciplinary expertise spanning physics, electronics, software, MEMS or related sensor technologies, and inertial navigation systems.

Designs and deploys electronic and mechanical test systems for production and incoming inspection. Responsibilities include developing bed-of-nails PCBA testers, automated pass/fail analysis, test reporting, mechanical jigs and fixtures, software interfaces, ERP data integration, and automated test-data logging. The role collaborates with electronic, embedded software, and mechanical design teams to ensure product testability, supports lifecycle management, and drives continuous improvement across manufacturing systems.

Own system and product ecosystem architecture across hardware and software, from system-wide design through component level. Collaborate with product management, software, product engineering, and supply chain teams to create reusable, scalable designs aligned with product requirements, supply resilience, cost constraints, external interfaces, and development frameworks including NIST and AUSDEFCON. Drive architectural consistency, rapid iteration, continuous improvement, and effective communication across multidisciplinary teams.

Own full-cycle talent acquisition for engineering, manufacturing, robotics, mechatronics, electronics, sales, product, and customer success roles. Partner with leaders to define hiring needs, build targeted sourcing strategies, identify hard-to-find technical and commercial talent, manage candidate pipelines, and deliver a strong candidate experience. Use recruiting data to improve performance and efficiency while sourcing and assessing candidates for high-tech, consultative, and strategic selling environments.

Develop embedded C/C++ real-time software for navigation products, collaborating with product, hardware, and engineering teams. Responsibilities include software design, hardware bring-up, diagnostics, factory testing, manufacturing support, standards compliance, production releases, and component-level project ownership. The role requires embedded systems and microcontroller experience, with desirable expertise in FreeRTOS, STM32, Linux, MATLAB, Python, FPGA-based SoC platforms, and Yocto.

Develop embedded C/C++ real-time software for navigation products, collaborating with product, hardware, and engineering teams. Responsibilities include hardware bring-up, factory testing tools, diagnostics, manufacturing infrastructure, regulatory compliance, product design, deadline ownership, and production-quality software delivery. The role requires expertise in embedded systems, microcontrollers, low-power electronics, FreeRTOS, STM32, Linux, and the full product development lifecycle.

Lead global partner program strategy and governance: design partner models, onboard and enable partners, manage CRM/PRM infrastructure, report program performance, acquire and manage strategic channel relationships.

Design and validate fit-for-purpose navigation system architectures and configurations for strategic commercial and defense customers. Lead technical discovery, proofs-of-concept, and integration with Advanced Navigation products, mentor application engineers, support sales with technical authority, and inform product roadmap while managing customer relationships and program lifecycle.

Own sales operations processes including forecasting, incentive/commission administration, pipeline analysis, revenue KPI dashboards, sales process optimization, annual operational readiness, and cross-functional data alignment to improve GTM efficiency and revenue outcomes.

Lead structuring, pricing and approval of complex, high-value commercial deals end-to-end. Improve quote-to-cash processes and CRM/CPQ configuration, enforce governance and compliance, enable sales with pricing policy and training, and provide reporting and forecasting insights to commercial leadership.

Own end-to-end commercial and technical success of the INS product family: P&L, market requirements, roadmap, NPI, and lifecycle. Lead cross-functional HW/FW/SW trade-offs, stage-gate execution, technical discovery with customers, prioritize engineering fixes, and partner with Marketing to drive revenue, profitability, and customer alignment.

Lead product analytics for robotics and navigation products: own telemetry pipelines, produce dashboards and OKRs, model ROI, inform product discovery, synthesize field data into prioritized feature requests, and collaborate cross-functionally to shape the roadmap.

The Head of Navigation Solutions leads the navigation product vertical, driving strategy, resource allocation, and team performance while overseeing R&D, market adoption, and stakeholder collaboration.
