This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United States.

📋 Description

• Provide comprehensive oversight of SAR engineering throughout the complete lifecycle of a SAR space mission.

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

• Spearhead technical solutions for both current and prospective SAR missions, encompassing beam mode design, mission concept design, and SAR image quality modeling.

• Direct mission-level risk management, integration, verification, and validation processes.

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

• Manage the SAR aspects of commissioning, calibration, and initial operations.

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

• Mentor team members to foster growth and development.

⛳️ Requirements

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

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

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

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

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

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

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