The opportunity

The Space Imaging team is seeking a Systems Engineer to join our team. The Imaging Space team is responsible for system architecture definition, trade analyses, and modeling/validating system performance for spaceborne EO/IR systems.

What you'll do

  • Define system architectures via detailed trade studies and analyses.

  • Adapt or derive physics-based models of sensor system performance and derive: requirements based on those models.

  • Take ownership over the development of prototype sensor systems in a lab environment.

  • Support both laboratory-based and field-based experiments and demonstrations.

  • Engage technically with the hardware, software, and mission teams to define,: integrate, and deliver high performance systems to our customers.

  • Validate models against laboratory and real-world data.

What they're looking for

  • Knowledge of current and next-generation advanced sensing systems and platforms
  • Active and passive sensing domain experience (e.g., LiDAR, EO/IR, Radar)
  • Experience with laser systems, including opto-mechanical scanning and beam steering techniques.
  • Knowledge of electro-mechanical control systems, including their performance: requirements and verification methodologies.
  • Experience with LiDAR/Radar signal processing techniques, and knowledge of: their implementation on real-time embedded platforms (FPGA, MCU, etc.).
  • Experience with signature and/or scenario modeling/software packages (MODTRAN, SPIRITS, AFSIM).
  • Space domain experience (architecting sensors for operation in space environments)
