Job Description
The Aerospace Corporation is the trusted partner to the nations space programs solving the hardest problems and providing unmatched technical expertise. As the operator of a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC) we are broadly engaged across all aspects of space delivering innovative solutions that span satellite launch ground and cyber systems for defense civil and commercial customers. When you join our team youll be part of a special collection of problem solvers thought leaders and innovators. Join us and take your place in space.
At the Mission Payloads Division (MPD) we are pioneers in remote sensing systems that guide our countrys space enterprise. Our talented and dynamic people create and flourish in electronics sensors radar artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced data network domains. We boldly advance technology through our research and development and then forward to demonstration and integration. With innovative laboratories and prototyping MPD delivers groundbreaking results. We guide our Department of Defense intelligence community and civil clients to enhance national productivity and security and tackle the most critical missions. Bring your intelligence and creative spirit and join us at MPD!
The Integrated Sensor Design and Analysis Department (ISDAD) resides within the Electronics and Sensors Division (ESD) is a worldclass engineering and scientific leader in electronics and remote sensing systems. Our expertise in design modeling simulation and analysis are augmented by sophisticated inhouse laboratories and enable unique approaches to solving the hardest technical problems.
Work Model: This is a full time position offering a hybrid work model that combines 4 regular onsite workdays and remote flexibility as the business needs allow.
What Youll Be Doing
Supporting the Department of Defense especially the Space Force Space Systems Command (SSC) and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) on a wide variety of projects from rapiddevelopment prototypes through Class A satellites and from preproposal phases through onorbit support.
Leveraging commercial government sponsored and inhouse software tools to perform rigorous modeling and simulation of earth remote sensing space object detection and tracking absolute and relative radiometry wavefront propagation and sensing diffraction effects stray light and thermal selfemission for the performance analysis and prediction of passive electrooptical sensor systems including visible and infrared radiometers imagers hyper and multispectral imaging radiometers.
Supporting the development of new remote sensing concepts with modeling and simulation including the development of technical performance requirements and in the assessment of proposed designs.
Working independently and collaborating with senior staff and department management to solve challenging technical problems.
