They both make sense but "pose" is usually used to refer to a position you stay in without moving, while "position" could mean that you are moving. "Pose" also suggests something that's a little more intentional and something done for its own sake, like something you would do in front of a camera or an audience.
Both sentences sound like you are standing or sitting awkwardly just so that you can get a signal, but "position" is probably the more correct word to use here. Of course, if you are standing in a position that looks like you were posing for a picture, and someone asked you why you were doing that, then "pose" would be correct here, even if you didn't do it for that reason.
