Top Secret/Sci Aerospace Engineer
The Aerospace Corporation is a trusted partner to the nation's space programs, solving the hardest problems and providing unmatched technical expertise. We are broadly engaged across all aspects of space- delivering innovative solutions that span satellite, launch, ground, and cyber systems for defense, civil and commercial customers. Join us and take your place in space. Mission Payloads Division
At the Mission Payloads Division (MPD), we are pioneers in remote sensing systems that guide our country's space enterprise. Our talented and dynamic people create and flourish in electronics, sensors, radar, artificial intelligence (AI), and advanced data network domains. We boldly advance technology through our research and development and then forward to demonstration and integration. With innovative laboratories and prototyping, MPD delivers groundbreaking results. Advanced Sensor Engineering Department
The Advanced Sensor Engineering Department (ASED) is a multi-disciplinary group of engineers and scientists actively engaged in supporting current and future generations of remote sensing systems of national importance. While members of ASED have a core competency area, they are all willing to work, learn, and engage in methodologies and efforts outside of this core competency to support a wide range of efforts and activities. Work Model
Full Time on site with occasional work from home opportunities. What You'll Be Doing
Supporting the design, development, and characterization of EO/IR collection capabilities through modeling, analysis, and laboratory capabilities Designing, developing, demonstrating testing capabilities for laboratory and field testing Implementing, developing, and/or assessing image processing and data analysis techniques for EO/IR data sets Work with team junior and senior staff across Aerospace and multiple customers on technical studies as both contributor and leader What You Need To Be Successful - Engineering Specialist
Bachelor's in Physics, Astronomy, Remote Sensing, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Imaging Science, Optical Engineering, or another related discipline Six to eight or more years of relevant experience working with EO/IR systems including data analysis, modeling, characterization, design, and/or performance assessments Experience implementing laboratory experiments relating to characterization of optical components, focal planes, and/or radiometric characterization Proficiency with programming environments and languages for developing flexible analysis, modeling, and testing capabilities including Matlab, Python, and/or C/C++ This position requires the ability to obtain and maintain a TS/SCI security clearance, which is issued by the U.S. government. U.S. citizenship is required to obtain a security clearance Additional Requirements for Senior Engineering Specialist
