Xona is building the next generation of satellite navigation — a high-performance, resilient alternative to GPS powered by a commercial constellation of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites. We are on a mission to unlock a new era of autonomy, advanced mobility, and infrastructure resilience by delivering precise, secure, and robust positioning services to the world.

We’re not here to incrementally improve GNSS. We’re here to redefine it from the ground up.

Xona is seeking an experienced and driven Integration & Test Lead for its R&D team who will be responsible for building and leading a world class test team to execute any and all testing required for Xona’s PULSAR service and payload hardware. You’ll have full ownership over building out test capabilities and ensuring the efficient delivery of Xona payloads through V&V. Additionally, you will provide strategic oversight for integration planning and operations of Xona’s production floor.
