  • Develop EO/IR image processing algorithm chains from photon to warfighter output
  • Create payload performance models
  • Develop novel algorithms for sensing and tracking systems
  • Lead CONOPS and Design Reference Mission development
  • Collaborate with software and firmware teams to build simulation deployment platforms including hardware and software in the loop environments
  • Manage programme activities to ensure work products are on time and the proposed mission solution meets the customer requirement

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree with 9 or more years of related experience in aerospace systems design, analysis and/or operation
  • Experience modelling and simulating complex satellite systems using tools such as Matlab/Simulink, Python or C++
  • Experience with EO/IR optical systems and image processing algorithms
  • Experience in orbital mechanics and kinematic state estimation
  • US Person status required
  • Top Secret clearance required post start

Nice to have

  • 14 or more years of experience in satellite design and/or operation
  • Experience with government furnished image models such as ASSET, PRA Toolkit or AFSIM
