Job description Internationally recognized generalist engineering school of the IMT (Institut Mines-Télécom), leading French engineering school (Technological University), IMT Atlantique
aims to support transitions, train responsible engineers, and use scientific excellence to serve teaching, research and innovation. As part of the project "GNSS signal reception on multi-sensor antennas and jammer rejection," which aims to improve the robustness of GNSS reception systems (GPS, Galileo) against jamming and spoofing threats for ArianeGroup's needs, we are recruiting a post-doctoral researcher within our Mathematical and Electrical Engineering (MEE) department. Under the functional responsibility of Thierry CHONAVEL and Abdeldjalil AISSA EL BEY, and in collaboration with the project team and the company ARKANE, you will analyze the state of the art of jamming and spoofing threats affecting GNSS systems. You will be in charge of modeling and simulating realistic GNSS and interference signals by defining suitable antenna array geometries. Your missions will also include the design and implementation of spatio-temporal signal processing methods, comparing classical approaches with hybrid techniques integrating artificial intelligence. Finally, you will develop adaptive algorithms to ensure interference detection in dynamic environments and actively participate in the scientific dissemination of the results. Consult the detailed job description Job requirements ✔️ You have skills in signal processing (spatio-temporal, filtering, detection) and in modeling/simulation. ✔️ You have experience in scientific programming (Python, MATLAB, Julia, or equivalent) and a good knowledge of GNSS systems (GPS, Galileo). ✔️ You demonstrate scientific rigor, autonomy, and possess strong analytical and synthesis capabilities. You enjoy working in a team within a collaborative environment and have excellent writing skills as well as a high level of scientific English. 🎓 The ideal candidate must hold a PhD (obtained within the last 3 years) in signal processing, telecommunications, or a related field.
