What You'll Be Doing- Develop and use innovative techniques and tools for applications including image chain modeling, spectroscopy, computer vision, change detection and tracking, space domain awareness, lidar and 3D remote sensing, EO/IR remote sensing, product quality metrics, optics, calibration, and data simulation
- Design, perform, document, and present results of studies using deterministic and probabilistic numerical analysis techniques
- Advise government and internal Aerospace customers on operational and R&D remote sensing system performance
- Present and promote your work to contractors and customers to inform and influence key decisions and drive system requirements
- Build physics-based modeling code while collaborating with small teams to develop end-to-end system and performance modeling tools
What You Need to be Successful - Senior Project LeaderMinimum Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in a related STEM field, particularly Remote Sensing, Imaging Science, Astronomy, Physics, Mathematics, Atmospheric Science, Computer Science, Optical or Electrical Engineering, or a related STEM discipline
- 15 years of experience after bachelor's degree with remote sensing system modeling, simulation, design, data processing, calibration, characterization, phenomenology, or applications
- Scientific programming and version control skills, ideally C++, Python, and git
- Communication expertise, including technical briefings and simplifying complex technical topics
- Experience modeling and evaluating remote sensing systems
- Track record of leading technical teams and mentoring less experienced staff
- Willingness to travel approximately 10% of time
- Experience with modeling and simulation of electro-optical, visible, and/or infrared remote sensing systems including sensor performance figures of merit (e.g., SNR, Pd, Pfa)
- This position requires ability to obtain and maintain a Top Secret/SCI security clearance, which is issued by the US government. U.S citizenship is required to obtain a security clearance
How You Can Stand OutIt would be impressive if you have one or more of these:
- Advanced degree in a related STEM field, particularly Remote Sensing, Imaging Science, Astronomy, Physics, Mathematics, Atmospheric Science, Computer Science, Optical or Electrical Engineering, or a related STEM discipline
- Experience with
- image reduction pipelines (i.e., removal of bias, gain correction etc.)
- a variety of EO/IR imaging systems, such as panchromatic/visible, infrared, multispectral and hyperspectral, ultraviolet photography, motion detection systems, 3D
- LiDAR system modeling and performance metrics
- modeling atmospheric radiative transfer effects
- agile software development and Atlassian tools (Jira, Confluence)
- sensor hardware performance and evaluation
- synthetic scene generation (e.g., DIRSIG)
- Current and active Top Secret/SCI security clearance
