We are seeking a Systems Design Engineer to support the
development of a Multi-spectral
Imaging (MSI) payload , working across
system architecture, opto-mechanical design coordination, and
electronics interfaces. This role is intended for an
early-career engineer with strong fundamentals, sound
engineering curiosity, and the willingness to learn quickly in
a multidisciplinary hardware environment.
The position will
involve close collaboration with optics, opto-mechanics,
camera electronics, firmware/FPGA, integration, and testing
teams. The engineer will support the translation of mission
and payload requirements into practical subsystem definitions,
interface understanding, design coordination, and verification activities.
This is a hands-on
systems role suited to someone who is eager to learn,
comfortable asking questions, and capable of independently
working through technical problems with guidance from senior engineers.
- Support system and subsystem design activities for the MSI payload
across optics, opto-mechanics, electronics, and interfaces.
- Assist in translating payload requirements into subsystem-level design
inputs, interface definitions, and engineering documentation.
- Work with optics and opto-mechanical teams to understand alignment,
packaging, structural interfaces, tolerances, and integration constraints.
- Support coordination with electronics teams to understand detector
interfaces, control electronics, signal paths, power architecture, and basic
embedded hardware concepts.
- Contribute to system budgets, trade studies, and engineering analyses
related to performance, packaging, interfaces, and integration.
- Assist in preparing and maintaining technical documentation such as
requirements notes, interface descriptions, design summaries, review material,
and test support documents.
- Participate in subsystem integration, lab bring-up, troubleshooting, and
validation activities.
- Support engineering reviews, design discussions, and follow-up actions
across multidisciplinary teams.
- Help identify design issues, interface gaps, and integration risks
early, and escalate them appropriately.
- Learn to evaluate technical trade-offs across optics, mechanics,
electronics, and system-level requirements under the guidance of senior
engineers.
