[Hiring] Staff Systems Engineer @HIKINEX

Role Description

Our client is hiring a Staff-level engineer to lead a highly specialized team building cutting-edge, high-throughput signal processing systems that turn raw satellite radar data into SAR imagery, deployed on the ground and potentially on board spacecraft. Fully remote from the US; optional relocation to Vancouver later.

• Lead the definition, specification, technical risk management, integration, verification and validation of SAR processors, new and existing.
• Supervise interface control document development; ensure hardware and software components integrate into the larger ground or space segment.
• Coordinate trade-offs between theoretical algorithms and their implementation on the actual processor.
• Troubleshoot root causes of processing errors and artefacts in image products and find mitigations; optimize processing time toward near-real-time.
• Take part in mission design trade-off studies; mentor the team; advise senior management and new business pursuits.

Qualifications

• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Engineering Physics, Math or Physics (or equivalent).
• 12+ years in an engineering environment, including 5+ years on complex signal processing systems (radar, medical imaging, computer vision or similar) and 10+ years in a large product development or systems engineering environment.
• Solid grounding in high-speed, high-throughput data analysis and transmission design.
• MATLAB, Python or C++.
• Clear communicator to technical, sales, executive and customer audiences.
• US citizen or permanent resident.

Requirements

• SAR remote sensing (system design, operation, exploitation, calibration).
• Satellite SAR payload design and operations.
• FPGA or ASIC based system design.
• Geospatial data.
