📋 Description

• Oversee the complete lifecycle of SAR engineering for a SAR space mission.

• Take ownership of the mission's concept of operations and high-level specifications, including spacecraft budgets that inform the SAR payload.

• Drive technical solutions for both current and future SAR missions, focusing on beam mode design, mission concept formulation, and SAR image quality modeling.

• Manage mission-level risk, as well as integration, verification, and validation processes.

• Conduct design trade-offs involving spacecraft systems, coverage and access, SAR payload, SAR processor, and end-user applications.

• Oversee the commissioning, calibration, and initial operations related to SAR.

• Provide guidance to senior management and contribute to new business initiatives.

• Mentor team members to foster their professional growth.

⛳️ Requirements

• A graduate degree in Electrical Engineering, Engineering Physics, Mathematics, or Physics (or equivalent experience).

• Over 15 years of experience with radar, SAR, or similar active imaging systems, including hardware, processors, and/or data products.

• At least 10 years in a space systems engineering role or a similar complex systems environment.

• Experience in SAR remote sensing, encompassing system design, operation, applications/exploitation, and/or calibration.

• Excellent communication skills across technical, sales, executive, and customer audiences.

• Must be a US citizen or a permanent resident (due to export-control and Controlled Goods regulations).

• Preferred qualifications include: proficiency in MATLAB and Python; experience in satellite SAR payload design and operations; knowledge of space mission design (coverage and access, orbital dynamics); spacecraft design (thermal, power, pointing); and geospatial data expertise.
