We've been engaged by a fast-growing space situational awareness company to find an experienced Systems Engineer to lead the definition of active EO/IR system architectures from concept through flight test. Our client is building sophisticated space-based sensing systems that deliver actionable orbital intelligence. This is a rare opportunity to join early, help shape engineering culture, and take real ownership over payload systems that go to orbit.
The Role:
  • Define EO payload system architectures via detailed trade studies
  • Model sensor performance and derive system requirements
  • Own prototype sensor development in a lab environment
  • Perform hands-on radiometric/geometric characterization and calibration of flight hardware (collimators, integrating spheres, interferometers, laser trackers, etc.)Author Interface Control Documents (electrical, mechanical, thermal, optical)
  • Define on-orbit calibration sequences and support real-time operations
  • Lead small engineering teams from concept through delivery
  • What Our Client is Looking For:
  • BS+ in engineering or a hard science
  • Proven experience taking systems from concept through test and delivery
  • Strong foundation in optical test methods, grounded in the underlying physics
  • Experience with radiometry, MTF/PSF, boresight alignment, non-uniformity correction, and related payload analyses
  • Proficiency in MATLAB/Python; familiarity with MODTRAN, SPIRITS, or AFSIM a plus
  • Willingness to travel to test sites as needed
  • Must be able to obtain and hold a U.S. security clearance
Bonus Points:
  • Laser systems / beam-steering experience
  • Electro-mechanical control systems
  • LiDAR/Radar signal processing on embedded platforms (FPGA/MCU)
Optical modeling in Zemax or Code VOur client offers a competitive salary, benefits, and equity package, along with the chance to make a lasting mark on a mission-driven engineering team.
