About The Position

We are seeking a Pointing & Tracking Systems Engineer to design, develop, integrate, and test precision pointing and tracking systems. The engineer will work across controls, estimation, sensing, software, electro-optical and electromechanical systems to achieve accurate and stable pointing and tracking of dynamic targets. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience developing closed-loop tracking systems and is comfortable taking systems from requirements and modeling through integration, test, and operational deployment.

Requirements

• B.S. degree in a STEM field in addition to 15+ years of experience with pointing, tracking, guidance, navigation, controls, gimbals, stabilized platforms or related systems.
• Strong understanding of control-systems fundamentals, including feedback control, stability, frequency response and dynamic modeling.
• Proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink, Python, or comparable tools.
• Experience analyzing real-world sensors and actuator data.
• Ability to troubleshoot complex multidisciplinary systems.
• Possess an active Secret security clearance (with ability to possess a Top-Secret clearance in the future)

Nice To Haves

• Experience leading a team of systems or EO/IR engineers.
• Experience with gimbaled or stabilized electro-optical systems.
• Experience with Kalman filtering, inertial navigation, target tracking or multi-sensor fusion.
• Familiarity with coordinate transformations, attitude representations, and kinematics.
• Experience with hardware-in-the-loop or real-time simulation.
• Experience taking a pointing/tracking system through integration and environmental or field testing.
• CAM/EV integrated product team lead experience.
• Strong leadership skills and experience directing and mentoring engineers on complex programs.
• Expert in effectively documenting, communicating, leading and working with a team on designs, results, reports, and presentations.
• Experience performing systems engineering activities across the development cycle (analysis/decomposition/derivation/allocation of requirements, system modeling & simulation, system design & development, system integration & test)
• Experience developing viable concept solutions, identifying and tracking technical risks, and leading technical teams
• Model based systems engineering experience with tools such as Magic Draw.
• Familiarity or experience with Agile Systems Engineering
• Active Top Secret (TS) or TS/SCI security clearance

Responsibilities

• Develop and implement pointing, tracking, and stabilization algorithms.
• Design closed-loop control systems for precision pointing mechanisms and platforms.
• Develop target acquisition, tracking, and pointing solutions using sensor measurements.
• Perform system modeling, simulation, analysis, and performance prediction.
• Develop and tune control loops, filters, estimators, and tracking algorithms.
• Integrate sensors, actuators, motion-control hardware, and embedded software systems.
• Analyze pointing accuracy, tracking error, stability, latency, jitter and system dynamics.
• Develop test plans and procedures and support hardware-in-the-loop, laboratory, and field testing.
