Job description

Job Summary:
Quantum Space is a company focused on advanced optical payload and image processing applications. They are seeking an Image Processing Engineer III to serve as a principal technical authority, overseeing algorithmic deliverables and developing flight-ready computer vision algorithms for critical space missions.
Responsibilities:
• Technical Oversight: Serve as the primary technical point of contact monitoring a algorithmic development. Ensure deliverables meet rigorous mission requirements, timelines, and integration standards.
• Algorithm Development & Evaluation: Design, simulate, and evaluate advanced image processing and computer vision algorithms for real time object detection, tracking, and characterization.
• System Level Electro Optical (EO) Evaluation: Analyze and model sensor and optical system performance to determine feasibility and optimize hardware configurations for specific mission concepts.
• Algorithmic Transition & Scaling: Architect scalable algorithms that can pivot from initial point source tracking (Space Domain Awareness) to close range, resolved target processing (Rendezvous and Proximity Operations).
Qualifications:
Required:
• Master’s or Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, Optical Sciences, or a related technical discipline.
• Deep expertise in image processing, computer vision, and pattern recognition (e.g., edge detection, feature extraction, filtering, and multi-target tracking).
• Strong proficiency in modeling and simulation environments (such as MATLAB, Python, or C++).
• Experience with Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) sensor modeling, radiometric budgets, and optical system performance metrics.
• Proven experience managing technical milestones and requirements with external vendors or subcontractors.
• Familiarity with space-based operational domains, orbital mechanics, or satellite subsystem constraints.
• 8 to 12+ years of progressive experience in image processing and computer vision engineering, preferably within the aerospace, defense, or space systems industry.
Preferred:
• Experience processing or integrating Active Optical sensors like LiDAR for 3D cloud mapping or relative navigation.
• Experience implementing algorithms on constrained flight hardware (FPGAs, GPUs, or embedded systems).
Company:
Quantum Space provides data buy services, deploys spacecraft, and performs space logistics for partners. Founded in 2021, the company is headquartered in Rockville, USA, with a team of 11-50 employees. The company is currently Early Stage.
