Senior Systems Engineer (NDA) (вакансія неактивна)

We are looking for a Senior Systems Engineer (Generalist) with broad expertise across multiple domains, including camera systems, radio communication, antenna tracking, sensor integration, and embedded software. This individual will play a crucial role in the integration, optimization, and performance enhancement of various UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) systems. The ideal candidate will bring a versatile background, capable of leading cross-functional teams to develop cutting-edge technologies while addressing the complexities of integrating diverse systems within a UAV platform.

Variants of Key Responsibilities:
Please note, we are looking for a generalist, hence why the list is so long. we do not need someone who is a master and expert in all of them but rather someone who understands the big picture and can connect the dots.

Camera Systems & Imaging:

• Lead the selection, integration, and optimization of camera systems for UAVs.
• Develop and maintain imaging pipelines to ensure high-quality, low-latency video streaming.
• Collaborate with hardware and software teams to enhance sensor performance, focusing on AI-driven image processing.

Radio & Antenna Tracker Systems:

• Design and develop radio communication systems, including antenna tracking solutions for UAVs.
• Implement embedded software for robust telemetry and control links.
• Optimize RF signal processing to ensure secure, interference-resistant data transmission.

Sensor Integration & Data Fusion:

• Lead the integration of diverse sensors such as IMU, LiDAR, GNSS, EO/IR into UAV platforms.
• Develop sensor fusion algorithms for accurate data synchronization.
• Contribute to real-time processing solutions and ensure seamless hardware/software interoperability across sensors.

Cross-Disciplinary System Design & Integration:

• Conduct trade studies, requirements analysis, and system performance assessments across multiple disciplines.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to design and optimize integrated systems that span hardware, software, RF, imaging, and sensor domains.
• Troubleshoot complex, system-wide technical challenges to improve performance and reliability.
• Develop test plans, execute validation strategies, and support system-level integration testing.
• Provide leadership and mentorship to junior engineers, fostering a collaborative and innovative work environment.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in systems engineering, with a strong background in UAV systems.
• Broad technical expertise across systems integration, including imaging, RF communication, antenna tracking, sensor fusion, and embedded software.
• Experience in designing and optimizing low-latency video streaming systems and AI-driven image processing pipelines.
• Strong background in RF signal processing and secure data transmission in UAV systems.
• Proficiency in sensor integration and real-time data processing, especially for systems involving IMU, LiDAR, GNSS, and EO/IR sensors.
• Familiarity with embedded software development for telemetry and control systems.
• Expertise in systems modeling, simulation, and trade-off analysis tools (e.g., MATLAB, Python).
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work on interdisciplinary technical challenges.
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with UAV systems, particularly in defense, aerospace, or high-tech industries.
• Familiarity with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and requirements management tools (e.g., DOORS, Jama).
• Experience in AI/ML techniques applied to image processing and sensor fusion.
• Proficiency in tools like MATLAB, Simulink, or similar for system analysis and design.
• Knowledge of industry standards and best practices in systems engineering and embedded systems.
