Senior Signal Processing Engineer, Space

8+ years of experience designing, implementing, and testing signal processing algorithms for EO/IR sensors or similar sensing modalities in aerospace or defense systems

Proven expertise in EO/IR sensor phenomenology including noise characteristics, detection theory, SNR analysis, resolution limits, and environmental effects

Strong proficiency with signal processing techniques including detection algorithms, filtering, and measurement generation from sensor data

Proficiency in algorithm development and coding with demonstrated experience transitioning algorithms to production environments

Experience with modeling, simulation, and testing workflows including physics-based modeling, Monte Carlo analysis, or hardware-in-the-loop environments

Demonstrated technical leadership experience with ability to mentor engineers and drive technical direction

In this role, you will be responsible for leading the development discrimination algorithms that separate threats from non-threats, decoys, and debris using EO/IR sensor data for space and missile defense missions.

You will design signal processing pipelines including detection, feature extraction, image processing, and develop advanced decision logic to enhance classification performance.

This will require deep expertise in signal processing for EO/IR sensors, classification algorithms, detection theory, and proficiency in algorithm development.

If you are someone who loves the challenge of extracting signal from noise, thrives on building algorithms that work in contested and degraded environments, and wants to see your work protecting forces against emerging threats in space, then this role is for you.

Lead the development of discrimination algorithms for EO/IR sensors that classify and distinguish threats from decoys, debris, and clutter in real-time operational environments

Design and implement signal processing pipelines including detection algorithms, feature extraction, image processing, and measurement generation from sensor data
