Advance LEO-PNT signal processing at ÉTS in downtown Montreal, designing waveforms and positioning algorithms for the SAPPHIRE research project.
As a postdoctoral fellow, you will serve as a scientific anchor within a multidisciplinary team involving ÉTS, MDA Space, and Safran Trusted 4D. Your work will develop communication-navigation convergence for Aurora’s LEO satellite constellation. The project combines DVB-S2X, D2D, 5G/6G NTN interoperability, SDR testbeds, and hardware-in-the-loop validation. You will advance technologies toward TRL 5 while supporting GNSS-free PNT and emergency-management scenarios.
Key Responsibilities: Design timing-enhanced DVB-S2X waveforms and synchronized D2D data frames
Develop Doppler, ToA, TDoA, FDoA, and PDoA algorithms
Model oscillator drift and implement Kalman filtering




Validate hybrid SDR receivers in laboratory conditions
Coordinate work packages, mentor students, and prepare publications
Requirements: Ph.D. earned within five years in a related field
Background in satellite navigation, communications, or estimation
Hands-on SDR and experimental laboratory validation experience
Programming proficiency in Python, MATLAB/Simulink, or C/C++
Fluent French and solid scientific communication skills
Apply your LEO-PNT, SDR, synchronization, and estimation expertise to SAPPHIRE’s satellite communications research at ÉTS.
