Job description

The Aerospace Corporation is the trusted partner to the nation's space programs, solving the hardest problems and providing unmatched technical expertise. As the operator of a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC), 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. When you join our team, you'll be part of a special collection of problem solvers, thought leaders, and innovators. Join us and take your place in space.
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. We guide our Department of Defense, intelligence community, and civil clients to enhance national productivity and security and tackle the most critical missions. Bring your intelligence and creative spirit and join us at MPD!
The Sensor Modeling and Simulation Department (SMSD) supports all aspects of advanced remote sensing system development: designing and assessing the performance of optics and electro-optical focal plane arrays, modeling the end-to-end sensing system, simulating target scenes and atmospheres, developing innovative data processing and computer vision algorithms, and producing simulated data products for new applications.
The selected candidate will be required to work full time on-site at our facility at Chantilly, VA
What You'll Be Doing
  • Develop and use innovative techniques and tools for applications including image chain modeling, spectroscopy, computer vision, change detection and tracking, space domain awareness, lidar and 3D remote sensing, EO/IR remote sensing, product quality metrics, optics, calibration, and data simulation
  • Design, perform, document, and present results of studies using deterministic and probabilistic numerical analysis techniques
  • Advise government and internal Aerospace customers on operational and R&D remote sensing system performance
  • Present and promote your work to contractors and customers to inform and influence key decisions and drive system requirements
  • Build physics-based modeling code while collaborating with small teams to develop end-to-end system and performance modeling tools

What You Need to be Successful - Engineering Specialist
Minimum Requirements:
  • Bachelor's degree in a related STEM field, particularly Remote Sensing, Imaging Science, Astronomy, Physics, Mathematics, Atmospheric Science, Computer Science, Optical or Electrical Engineering, or a related STEM discipline
  • Eight years of experience after bachelor's degree with remote sensing system modeling, simulation, design, data processing, calibration, characterization, phenomenology, or applications
  • Scientific programming and version control skills, ideally C++, Python, and git
  • Communication expertise, including technical briefings and simplifying complex technical topics
  • Experience modeling and evaluating remote sensing systems
  • Willingness to travel approximately 10% of time
  • This position requires ability to obtain and maintain a Top Secret/SCI security clearance, which is issued by the US government. U.S citizenship is required to obtain a security clearance

In addition to the above, the minimum requirements for Sr. Engineering Specialist:
  • Twelve years of experience after bachelor's degree
  • Track record of leadership and mentorship
  • Experience with modeling and simulation of electro-optical, visible, and/or infrared remote sensing systems including sensor performance figures of merit (e.g., SNR, Pd, Pfa)

How You Can Stand Out
It would be impressive if you have one or more of these:
  • Advanced degree in a related STEM field, particularly Remote Sensing, Imaging Science, Astronomy, Physics, Mathematics, Atmospheric Science, Computer Science, Optical or Electrical Engineering, or a related STEM discipline
  • Experience with
    • image reduction pipelines (i.e., removal of bias, gain correction etc.)
    • a variety of EO/IR imaging systems, such as panchromatic/visible, infrared, multispectral and hyperspectral, ultraviolet photography, motion detection systems, 3D
    • LiDAR system modeling and performance metrics
    • modeling atmospheric radiative transfer effects
    • agile software development and Atlassian tools (Jira, Confluence)
    • sensor hardware performance and evaluation
    • synthetic scene generation (e.g., DIRSIG)
    • Current and active Top Secret/SCI security clearance
