Computer Engineer-Autonomous Space Sensing
Job OverviewThis announcment will be accepting candidate submissions until September 15, 2023.
The primary responsibility of this position is to design, develop, and test innovative methods for autonomous expert decision-making by integrated, distributed satellites tasked with sensor collection, constellation-level command and control, moving object track handoff and state estimation/fusion/path prediction.
A focus of this position is to develop an autonomous testbed to evaluate optimization methods for utilizing dynamically configurable sensors and sensor networks for space-based surveillance.
In addition to developing strategies for autonomous sensing, processing, and decision-making, this position conducts technical efforts that analyze, validate, and assess the quality and latency of disparate sensor data sets and derived information for dissemination to non-space nodes.
This position works closely with an advanced electro-optical and infrared (EO/IR) sensor concepts team and a data analytics team that are developing state-of-the art space-based surveillance technologies.
For this position, education or experience in the following areas is helpful and desired:
deep learning, autonomy algorithm design and optimization, moving object detection algorithms, predictive neural networks, remote sensing, space architectures, space scenario simulation and visualization.
The selected candidate would have opportunity to communicate progress to audiences both verbally at technical conferences and in writing for high-impact scientific journals.
Candidate would lead or contribute to drafts and revision of technical reports, papers, articles, presentations and summaries on R&D activities and related efforts.
