Job Description
About the Team:
You'll collaborate with some of the brightest minds in engineering to design and integrate pioneering capabilities that shape the future of our mission. Our high-impact, cross-functional team delivers cutting-edge perception solutions for a variety of mission-critical platforms. We specialize in classical computer-vision algorithms-feature detection, stereo matching, optical flow-while also integrating modern AI techniques such as semantic segmentation and learned feature representations. Every solution is engineered with the strict hardware constraints of resource-limited processors in mind, including the ultra-low-power, radiation-hardened CPUs typical of space-borne systems.
About the Role:
We are seeking a motivated engineer to develop and support the end to end digital simulation platform. The ideal candidate will:
• Operate and update the simulation
• Conduct statistical analysis & uncertainty quantification via Monte-Carlo simulations, Design-of-Experiments (DoE), sensitivity testing, and algorithm-level error modeling
• Develop interactive dashboards, generate plots/reports for stakeholders, and tailor visual output for different audiences
• Define test cases, compare simulation results against analytical/ground-truth data, document V&V evidence, and support formal review packages
• Debug computer-vision algorithm performance in the simulation by debugging the underlying code and using visualizations to diagnose issues
Collaborate with embedded-hardware, optics, and systems teams to ensure the simulation reflects actual hardware behavior and integrates smoothly with downstream toolchains
Generally has 1+ years of related experience and may have a post-secondary degree or training in a related discipline.
Basic Qualifications
Skill Requirements:
• Proficiency in Python (including libraries such as NumPy, SciPy, Pandas, and Bokeh)
• Understanding of Statistical Methods (Monte-Carlo, basic uncertainty quantification)
• Ability to generate clear visualizations and communicate results to both technical and non-technical audiences
• Experience with Linux development environments and shell scripting
• Proficiency in C++, including the ability to read, maintain, and/or extend C++ codebase
Security Clearance / Work Authorization:
• To meet requirements of the program/customer, this position requires the selected employee to be a U.S. Citizen.
• Active Top Secret security clearance is necessary for consideration and is required prior to start.
Desired skills
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, Mathematics, or a related technical field (or equivalent professional experience) with 1+ year(s) of relevant experience
- Experience with MATLAB
- Foundational knowledge of core algorithms used in computer-vision and signal-processing (e.g., feature extraction, optical flow, SLAM, matrix factorization, optimization, linear-algebra routines)
- Docker - experience containerizing applications for reproducible builds and testing
- CI/CD pipelines - familiarity with GitLab CI or similar tools for automated testing and deployment
