Senior Systems Engineer - EO/IR Processing

About the role

The Senior Systems Engineer – EO/IR Processing supports one of our premier programs by developing, modifying, and utilizing simulations to support the design, prototyping, integration, testing, and performance assessment of signal processing algorithms and models. They also collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to integrate algorithms into hardware and support development activities from program initiation through live-fire testing.

Responsibilities

• Apply advanced signal processing expertise to support the development, execution, and delivery of complex missile systems programs
• Develop, modify, and utilize simulations to support the design, prototyping, integration, testing, and performance assessment of signal processing algorithms and models
• Support engineering laboratory activities to test, verify, and validate sensor models and signal processing algorithm performance against system requirements
• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to integrate algorithms into hardware and support development activities from program initiation through live-fire testing
• Participate in design reviews, peer reviews, and technical briefings, communicating technical solutions to stakeholders across multiple engineering disciplines
• Mentor and provide technical guidance to engineers, fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing across the team

Requirements

• You must have typically a Bachelor’s Degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 5+ years of relevant prior experience
• Experience developing or applying signal processing techniques within the electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR), radio frequency (RF), sonar, or acoustic domains
• Experience programming in C or applying object-oriented programming principles using C++, C#, or Java
• Experience designing, implementing, testing, analyzing, and optimizing signal processing algorithms
• Active and transferable DoD Secret U.S. government-issued security clearance is required prior to start date, with the ability to obtain special program access after start. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance

Qualifications
