Commercial Program Manager

Xona is the navigational intelligence company bringing real-time, centimeter-level certainty to any device, anywhere on Earth.

With Pulsar – the world’s most advanced PNT satellite infrastructure in Low Earth Orbit – Xona will offer a future-proof, backwards-compatible global positioning system optimized for absolute precision, superior power, and robust protection.

The U.S. defined global navigation with GNSS (GPS) over 50 years ago, supporting everything from consumer applications, transportation systems, and time synchronization for critical infrastructure. After nearly two decades, however, the performance and security demands of such navigation systems are increasingly beyond what GNSS can support. Xona Space Systems was founded in 2019 to address these threats through its space-based low Earth orbit (LEO) constellation. Xona’s vision is straightforward: make satellite navigation dramatically more accurate, secure, and available.

In June 2025, Xona launched its first production class satellite, shaping the next era of navigational intelligence by bringing unmatched accuracy, affordability and resiliency to industries across timing, consumer IoT, defense, construction, agriculture, mining, mass mobile, and automotive.
