More about this role

GPS is a ubiquitous global utility in modern society; knowing one’s location is critical for government, commercial, and personal applications. Still, today’s solutions for determining location are unencrypted, susceptible to jamming and spoofing, and too often are both inaccurate and slow. These shortcomings make GPS insufficient for tomorrow’s safety-critical and high-precision applications, a problem TrustPoint intends to solve.

TrustPoint is developing a fully commercial next-generation GPS/PNT system to provide significant performance, security and reliability improvements for our users. Our system will provide users with better accuracy, faster Time to First Fix (TTFF), solid anti-jam and anti-spoof capabilities, and will support US Government position and timing service resiliency along with next-generation commercial applications like drone delivery, self-driving cars, urban air mobility, and augmented reality. The $260B annual GNSS Hardware, Software and Data Services market is ripe for disruption and improvement, and TrustPoint intends to lead that revolution with our commercial infrastructure and services.
