Sensor Development Engineer information

What does a sensor development engineer do?

A Sensor Development Engineer designs, develops, and tests sensors that detect physical properties such as temperature, pressure, motion, or chemical composition. They work on creating new sensor technologies or improving existing ones for use in various industries, including automotive, healthcare, and consumer electronics. Their duties often involve collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, prototyping sensor devices, and ensuring the sensors meet performance and quality standards. Additionally, they may be responsible for troubleshooting and optimizing sensor systems to enhance efficiency and reliability.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a sensor development engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Sensor Development Engineer, you need a strong background in electrical engineering, physics, or materials science, often supported by a relevant degree. Familiarity with CAD software, circuit simulation tools, and experience with sensor-specific platforms or rapid prototyping equipment is typically required. Analytical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and effective teamwork are crucial soft skills for excelling in this role. These competencies are essential for designing, testing, and optimizing innovative sensor technologies that meet rigorous performance standards.

What are some common challenges faced by sensor development engineers during the prototyping phase?

Sensor Development Engineers often encounter challenges in balancing sensitivity, reliability, and cost when creating prototypes. It’s common to iterate through multiple designs to optimize sensor performance under real-world conditions, which requires close collaboration with electrical, mechanical, and software engineering teams. Additionally, integrating new materials or fabrication techniques can introduce unforeseen technical hurdles, making adaptability and problem-solving crucial skills during this phase.

What is the difference between Sensor Development Engineer vs Sensor Test Engineer?

AspectSensor Development EngineerSensor Test Engineer
Primary FocusDesigning and developing new sensor technologies and prototypesTesting, validating, and troubleshooting sensors to ensure quality and performance
Required SkillsSensor design, circuit integration, prototyping, CAD, and simulationTest procedures, data analysis, calibration, and quality assurance
Work EnvironmentResearch labs, R&D departments, product development teamsManufacturing facilities, testing labs, quality assurance departments
Industry UsageElectronics, automotive, aerospace, consumer devicesManufacturing, quality control, product validation

Sensor Development Engineers focus on creating and designing new sensors, while Sensor Test Engineers specialize in testing and validating sensor performance. Both roles are essential in the sensor industry, often working closely together to bring reliable sensor products to market.

This position reports to the Program area's LdSE and will provide day-to-day interface with Program Manager, program engineering leads, suppliers and the Customer. The position is responsible for all technical performance and risk reduction activities for the weapon/sensor system development effort from CONOPS and system trades to requirements and compliance, implementation, integration, and verification, including transition to production and design upgrades required for intended applications.

The LdSE must have the experience, drive, and demonstrated capability to lead a team of engineers of multiple disciplines to provide technical excellence and mission success. Experience in missile design, development, and testing is required. Knowledge in key technologies is also desired and includes GPS/sensor systems, processor architecture, aerodynamics, GNC, SigIP, data links, software design, and cyber security.

Experience leading a team to achieve successful demonstration of program development milestones such as Systems Requirements Review (SRR), Preliminary Design Review (PDR), Critical Design Review (CDR), system integration and test, and Functional Configuration Audit (FCA) is highly desired. Excellent oral and written communication skills are a must. The successful candidate will be required to communicate technical status and issues internally to program leadership, technical leadership and functional leadership as well as externally to the customer.

Experience coordinating or managing subcontractors and subcontract technical management is desirable. The position requires excellent leadership skills in previous assignments, including building relationships with team members, direct reports, and stakeholders. Significant/some travel may be required.

Basic Qualifications Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional engineering activities in support of EO/IR Sensor programs, including but not limited to CONOPS and trade studies, system analyses to bound requirements and finalize the architecture, configuration control of the technical baseline, verification planning and execution, affordability considerations, and risk and opportunity management. Experience required includes DoD tactical system development program experience, customer interface, requirements derivation/allocation, integration and test planning and execution, management of major subcontracts, understanding of Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) and their application, and participation in major design reviews. Desired Skills Familiarity with formal decision analysis methods.

Experience using Cameo or similar for system requirements and Architecture. Knowledge of the following technologies is desired: GPS, Processor or FPGA design, aeronautics, GNC, data links, software implementation, and program protection. Experience with Agile process and tools, such as JIRA or similar.

Experience with the entire program lifecycle from technology demonstrations to transition to production.
