Senior Research Scientist
Intellisense Systems, Inc. is a fast-growing Southern California technology innovator that solves tough, mission-critical challenges for customers in the aerospace, defense, and commercial markets. We design, develop, and manufacture advanced products for ground, maritime, and airborne applications. We are looking for a Senior Research Scientist with a proven track record of identifying and solving challenging science problems to join our Emerging Technologies team. Responsibilities
The team works on cutting-edge optical sensor research involving innovative design, selection, and implementation of emerging optoelectronic components, as well as system integration, testing, and troubleshooting. As part of the team, you will work alongside other experienced scientists and engineers to develop novel, cutting-edge solutions to several challenging problems. Understanding and experience with UV/VIS/IR active and passive components, optical, opto-mechanical, and opto-electronic system design, image processing, Lidar-based atmospheric remote sensing, EO/IR sensors, night vision, and electronics are desired. This is a hands-on research and development position with project management responsibilities. Solve challenging science and engineering problems in the field of optics and photonics through critical thinking, developing new concepts, and application of new methods. Develop system architectures, perform modeling and simulation, develop prototypes, conduct experiments, and demonstrate innovative technologies that are focused on optical sensor systems. Apply experience in the use of modern programming, modeling, and simulation tools to help develop new technologies. Familiarity with any atmospheric laser propagation simulation software is a plus. Work alongside with engineering and research teams in researching, selecting, evaluating, and/or developing component/system and packaging for specific applications. Interact with government and non-government representatives to ensure the customer requirements are fully understood and addressed. Lead/provide technical write-ups related to system, hardware, and software development on bids and proposals. Other duties as assigned by management. Requirements
