TL;DR · Scientist, Systems Engineering (Detection Algorithm Development)

Scientist, Systems Engineering (Detection Algorithm Development) serves as a technical lead focused on developing image and video processing algorithms for space-based EO/IR systems. The role involves performing trade studies, modeling and simulation of Earth observing systems in LEO, MEO, and GEO orbits, and defining concepts of operation and interface control documents. The successful candidate will implement custom and OpenCV-based solutions on FPGAs, GPUs, or embedded systems to meet specific requirements for low size, weight, and power space hardware. Technical expertise required includes Python, C/C++, or VHDL, along with proficiency in tools such as NumPy, SciPy, scikit-learn, PyTorch, CV2, and CUDA. The position addresses the technical challenge of processing Overhead Persistent InfraRed imagery and phenomenology to ensure system characterization and requirement compliance for complex space-based electro-optical and infrared systems.

What you'll do

  • Lead the development of image and video processing algorithms for space-based EO/IR systems.
  • Implement custom and OpenCV-based algorithms on FPGAs, GPUs, and embedded systems.
  • Conduct modeling and simulation activities to characterize Earth observing systems in LEO, MEO, and GEO orbits.
  • Perform complex trade studies using tools like NumPy, SciPy, scikit-learn, PyTorch, and CUDA.
  • Develop technical specifications, interface control documents, and test procedures for hardware and software integration.
  • Translate customer requirements into system capabilities through analysis and requirement decomposition.
  • Manage the integration and testing of electro-optical/infrared systems to ensure compliance with specifications.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree with 12 years of experience, a graduate degree with 10 years of experience, or 16 years of experience without a degree.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a secret clearance.
  • At least 5 years of experience in Python, C/C++, or VHDL.
  • Professional experience implementing image/video processing algorithms in FPGAs, GPUs, or embedded systems.
  • Strong background in mathematics or physics (preferred).
  • Experience developing embedded software or firmware (preferred).
  • Ability to read and write C/C++ software (preferred).
  • U.S. citizens.
