Scientist, Missile Defense Systems Engineer (Detection Algorithms)
L3Harris Technologies, Fort Wayne, Indiana, United States, 46804
Scientist, Missile Defense Systems Engineer (Detection Algorithms)
Location: Fort Wayne, IN
Schedule: 9/80 (Every other Friday off)
L3Harris Technologies is seeking a Systems Engineer to support a growing missile warning/missile defense business. The ideal candidate has extensive knowledge of EO/IR image/video processing techniques that can be implemented in low size, weight, and power (SWaP) space systems. The role requires direct contributions and leadership for algorithm development, analysis, integration into flight hardware, on-orbit troubleshooting, and future pursuits.
Essential Functions
Lead development of image and video processing algorithm solutions for space-based EO/IR systems.
Lead analysis of image and video processing algorithms in support of system-level trade studies, requirement compliance, and system characterization.
Perform modeling & simulation activities to accurately model Earth observing EO/IR systems in LEO, MEO, and GEO.
Support systems engineering trade studies, CONOP development, and modeling/simulation efforts.
Expertise in implementing custom and OpenCV-based image/video processing algorithms in FPGAs, GPUs, or embedded systems.
Utilize Python, C/C++, or VHDL.
Perform rapid complex trade studies assessing a variety of algorithms to achieve optimal performance.
Develop and improve instrument documentation, processes, and test procedures. Support concept of operation development and requirements analysis, decomposition, and generation at various levels of the system.
Support requirements traceability and development of test plans to cover requirements.
Support integration and test of electro-optical/infrared systems and related hardware/software.
Provide support to engineering in developing technical specifications, interface control documents, test plans and procedures, and test conformance to specifications.
Support engineering in the verification of compliance to requirements and validate performance behavior.
Qualifications
Bachelor’s Degree in engineering and a minimum of 12 years of prior relevant experience, or Graduate Degree and a minimum of 10 years of prior related experience, or in lieu of a degree, minimum of 16 years of prior related experience.
10+ years experience in systems, software, FPGA, or related embedded systems development.
Expertise in Python, C/C++, or VHDL.
Active DoD Secret clearance required.
Preferred Additional Skills
Active Top Secret clearance is highly desired.
Proficiency in Python and MATLAB.
Experience as part of a multi-discipline technical team developing embedded software/firmware.
Ability to read/write C/C++ software.
Strong interpersonal and communication skills.
Experience with data analysis, modeling, and simulation (MATLAB/Python).
Experience with estimating and managing costs and integrating end-to-end systems in EO/IR, RF, or space payload and spacecraft bus subsystems.
Familiarity with program management, cost account management, integrated product teams.
Strong background in mathematics or physics.
