Spacekinetic Signal Chain Processing Engineer responsible for design, integration, and qualification of optical processing systems for spacecraft and payload technologies. Develop and validate image and signal processing algorithms for space payloads.

Responsibilities

We are seeking a Signal Chain Processing Engineer to own the design, integration, and qualification of optical processing systems for our spacecraft and payload technologies. This is a hands-on role for an engineer who has built optical processing systems in early architecture, design, testing, and on-orbit operations.
Job Responsibilities:
Select, develop, and evaluate processing techniques, optimizing calibration, background suppression, signal augmentation, target detection, geolocation, and multi-target and multi-sensor tracking
Leverage end-to-end data exploitation and analytics knowledge to validate novel image and signal processing algorithms
Apply end-to-end knowledge of data exploitation and data analytics to develop verification and validation of new image and signal processing algorithms and inform trade studies to optimize performance of space payloads
Craft innovative, multi-phenomenon solutions, specialized visualizations, and analytical reports for company leadership
Develop alignment, calibration, metrology, and automated test methods to characterize optical performance.
Analyze test data, diagnose optical performance issues, lead anomaly investigations, and implement corrective design actions.
Partner with mechanical, electrical, software, systems, manufacturing, and supplier teams to deliver manufacturable, flight-ready hardware and software.
Bachelor’s degree in Optical Engineering, Physics, Imaging Science, Mathematics, Electrical and Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
4+ years of relevant experience in EO/IR imaging, image or signal processing, computer vision, object detection and tracking, remote sensing, or optical sensor systems.
Experience developing detection, localization, computer vision, and tracking algorithms and their application to real or simulated imagery data.
