Systems Engineer, Space Imaging
Job description
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.
In this role, you will be responsible for defining active EO/IR system architectures. You will perform radiometric performance modeling as well as laboratory, ground, and flight testing. To predict real-world performance, you will also model atmospheric and environmental effects for land, sea, and air targets. You will leverage your analyses to inform system-level architectural trades.

Job responsibilities
- 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.
- Coordinate and communicate with both external & internal stakeholders with varying degrees of technical background.
Job requirements
- Model development and validation in one or more domains relevant to remote sensing
- Ability to decompose complex systems into functional parts, with clearly defined interfaces and requirements for each.
- Experience in system design and development from initial concept through test and delivery to customer.
- Strong laboratory skills (rapid prototyping, design of experiments) and familiarity with opto-electrical test and measurement equipment.
- Willingness to travel to test sites, as needed.
- Must be able to obtain and hold a U.S. security clearance.
- Knowledge of current and next-generation advanced sensing systems and platforms
- Active and passive sensing domain experience (e.g., LiDAR, EO/IR, Radar)
