Job Description

US CITIZENSHIP REQUIRED

Are you looking for an opportunity to impact climate change? Are you curious about unlocking the secrets to our universe? Do you want to play an important part in our nation s security? In beautiful Colorado, we support DoD, NASA, and NOAA customers by designing sensing system electronics for challenging space, air, and ground environments. We are looking for an electronics architect with expertise in focal plane subsystem technologies who can help craft photons-to-bits capabilities enabling high performance signal chain solutions for a wide variety of remote sensing applications.

The Engineering, Science and Analysis (ESA) Strategic Capabilities Unit comprises the technical talent and organizational leadership that enables the successful delivery of high-impact discriminating technologies for our customers missions. Our collaborative, cross-functional teams are committed to innovation, integrity, continual learning and strong execution.

What You'll Do:

• Develop electronics for focal plane subsystem technologies and architectures for space and airborne electro-optical instruments that meet marketing and customer requirements.

• Provide technical expertise for key IR, VIS, and UV focal plane subsystem trades involving detector selection, electronics, onboard processing, and packaging.

• Support cross functional teams and suppliers to create, influence and define discriminating electronics architectures based on mission needs.

• Implement metrics to evaluate concepts and designs that represent mission utility for our customers.

• Promote leading edge technologies for IRAD, future products and business opportunities.

• Provide subject matter expertise to resolve hardware anomalies at the system level and determine root cause and corrective action.

• Identify and mitigate technical risks early in the design phase.

• Document and present analysis, findings, and design to peers, internal management, and DoD, NASA, and NOAA customers.

• Expertise in Space-based EO signal chain analysis and design.

• Hands-on experience testing and modeling focal plane performance characteristics (dark current, read noise, SNR, etc.).

• Subsystem I&T proficiency (EO characterization, FPA packaging, electronics testing, requirements verification).

• Demonstrated mastery of low noise design techniques at both a circuit card and sub-system level.

• Working knowledge of printed circuit layout techniques for high frequency, low noise circuits.

• Advance knowledge in analog simulation tools.

• Experience with high-speed digital and low noise analog circuitry including high speed Analog to Digital Converters, Transimpedance Amplifiers and both active and passive filters.

• Ability to communicate complex concepts to widely varying audiences.
