Graduate - Autonomous Systems Sensor Engineer

Are you looking for a career building deep expertise in a technical area critical to our national defense?

Do you wish to collaborate with and learn from some of the country’s top radio frequency, electro-optical and infrared sensor subject matter experts?

If so, our group is looking for newly graduating engineers, mathematicians, physicists, and scientists like you to join our team!

Our group provides critical technical contributions on state-of-the‑art sensors that integrate with guidance, navigation and control subsystems to form the heart of modern autonomous systems. We are an integral part of a multidisciplinary team whose vision is to ensure that the United States maintains a technological advantage on the world stage by leading the development and prototyping of advanced autonomous systems.

If you desire a rewarding career designing and evaluating advanced autonomous system sensors, we’d like to talk to you about joining our team! We are seeking candidates with academic backgrounds and interest in one or more of the following technical areas:

You will join a team of dedicated engineers, physicists, and mathematicians who develop innovative algorithms, create advanced simulations and perform hardware test and integration for evaluating autonomous sensor designs and tactical performance. Keys to your success will be the motivation and technical curiosity to tackle a breadth of sensor related challenges across a spectrum of legacy and state-of-the-art autonomous flight vehicles.

Our team is committed to developing exceptional talent and innovation. As part of our group, you will have an opportunity to grow your expertise across these technologies in an area of autonomous systems that you are enthusiastic about.

As a member of our team you will...

• Have the opportunity to conduct cutting edge sensor research, design, modeling, simulation and analysis while collaborating with adjacent technical domains in the development of next generation autonomous systems.
• Develop innovative ways of modeling, simulating, analyzing and predicting sensor performance in complex operational environments.
• Lab test sensor hardware and software to identify operational capabilities and limitations.
• Work closely with sensor subject matter experts who will train and mentor you on your path to attaining deeper technical knowledge and experience.
• Collaborate with a team of engineers and interact with government sponsors, including platform designers in multi-disciplinary optimization studies for early phase vehicle development.
• Have the opportunity to continue your education through a variety of educational opportunities such as technical short courses and graduate degree programs.

You meet our minimum qualifications the job if you...

• Have a Bachelor's or Master's Degree in an Electrical Engineering, Physics, Mathematics or a related field.
• Are passionate about creative problem solving and applying your skills to the design and development of our nation’s next generation sensor technologies critical to autonomous systems.
• Have academic background and interest in one or more of the technical areas listed above.
• Have classroom, project or internship experience in RF, EO and/or IR sensors.
• Are able to obtain an Interim Secret security clearance by your start date and can ultimately obtain a Secret level clearance. If selected, you will be subject to a government security clearance investigation and must meet the requirements for access to classified information. Eligibility requirements include U.S. citizenship.

You’ll go above and beyond our minimum requirements if you...

• Have classroom, project and/or internship experience working with sensors integrated with guidance, navigation and control systems and/or…
