Senior Sensor Engineer

What you'll do

• Own sensor hardware integrations end-to-end from requirements through architecture, block diagrams, and simulation.
• Evaluate performance of multiple sensing modalities including RF/radar, electro-optical/infrared, and acoustic arrays.
• Develop verification and validation strategies for perception to determine the best sensors for specific missions.
• Integrate sensor hardware with effector, autonomy, and Lattice teams to enable closed engagements.
• Lead the development and integration of both first-party and third-party sensor technologies.
• Act as a technical authority on airborne sensing when engaging with vendors, partners, and customers.

What we're looking for

• Must have 5+ years of relevant experience and a B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent.
• Demonstrated depth in multi-modal sensor architecture and the physics governing different sensing modalities.
• Ability to manage complex systems through design, integration, test, and production phases.
• Experience specifying and verifying sensing performance quantitatively, including detection, false alarm characterization, and range analysis.
• Must be authorized to work in the United States.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
• Experience with environmental qualification of military systems such as MIL-STD-810 and MIL-STD-461 (preferred).
• Experience with distributed sensor networks, AFSIM modeling, or common communication buses (preferred).
