Lead, Systems Engineering (Detection Algorithm Development)

The ideal candidate for this position has extensive knowledge of EO/IR image / video processing techniques that can be implemented in low size, weight, and power (SWaP) space systems. Candidate will provide direct contributions and act as a technical lead for algorithm development, analysis, integration into flight hardware, on-orbit troubleshooting, and future pursuits. Algorithm performance plays a key role in all stages of program life cycle. Candidate needs to be comfortable working with end customers to understand requirements and capabilities define and run trade studies to meet customer requirements. Candidate will also work closely with other systems engineers to define CONOPs, ICDs, and implementation requirements.
