OverviewFrom our Ann Arbor, MI office,
Research Engineers will participate in multi-disciplinary, collaborative teams and contribute to the development of state-of-the-art remote sensing solutions and surveillance technologies. Relevant sensor types include electro-optic/infrared and active/passive radar imaging systems. Projects will include the development of advanced sensor concepts to exploit new and unique phenomenology, and the associated design and validation activities.
You will make leading-edge contributions to existing programs and help to shape the direction of future research efforts. You will have the opportunity to develop into a Principal Investigator, designing new research paths, supervising research staff, and interacting with research sponsors to fund new program directions. Most programs are executed in small, highly collaborative groups.
Responsibilities- Work with an interdisciplinary team developing algorithms for exploitation of sensor data in geospatial contexts.
- Formation and analysis of imagery products, development of advanced signal processing tools for image understanding and imagery exploitation, and the integration of data from multiple sources to enhance understanding.
- Programming, algorithm development, design and execution of Electro-Optic and/or radar computational models & simulations, and analysis of results.
- Participate in laboratory work, collecting and analyzing sensor data.
- Additional tasks include defining software and system interfaces, system integration and testing, and field support to experiments and demonstrations. Anticipated work products include written reports and preparation and delivery of presentations and project
Qualifications- Ph.D. degree in a relevant field; or Masters in related field with 3 years experience or Bachelors in related field with 5+ years of related experience.
- U.S. Citizenship with ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government security clearance required.
- Ability for occasional travel associated with meetings and/or data collections
Desired Skills:- Experience associated with radar, imaging sensors, image processing, and signal/data processing applications.
- Experience with software development in C and/or C++ and algorithm implementations in Python/MATLAB.
- Experience with Unix/Linux operating system
- Solid analytical ability.
