Responsibilities

The individual will be given a unique opportunity to work on a very high-performance team that has developed technology in the advancement of Space Domain Awareness (SDA). The individual will take part in working on advanced concepts, design, development, delivery, integration and test, verification and validation of system hardware and software, and maintenance of a network of Raven class telescope systems.

This position performs a variety of engineering work in the development of an operable system capable of meeting requirements within imposed constraints including mass, cost and schedule. Designs and/or researches subsystem interfaces to ensure that subsystems are integrated and work together to form a viable complete system. Performs functional analysis of a system to ensure it meets performance criteria and mission constraints and to feed the analysis results back to the subsystem development teams. Prepares design sketches and general equipment design of simple parts, subsystem interfaces, system layouts, etc. Performs relatively simple engineering and mathematical formulas and computations. Prepares analysis of technical data and information resulting from tests, studies, analysis, etc. Assists other technical personnel in the preparation of technical reports, graphs and charts. May participate as a member of a team; primary contact is immediate supervisor. Performs all other duties as assigned.

Other responsibilities include:

• Conceiving, designing, analyzing, simulating, overseeing, and assessing complex performance at the Raven system level.
• Ensuring the delivery of complex algorithms and software to system integration and test.
• Developing and implementing detailed test and verification plans from the subsystem.
• Validating and documenting the performance of these systems prior to delivering them to the customers.

Qualifications

This position requires a Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering or related technical discipline with a minimum of 0-3 years of related experience.  Additional years of experience will be accepted in lieu of degree.

Requirements include

• A strong technical background in the areas of modern guidance, estimation and control with application to aerospace systems
