Description: You will be the Electro Optical (EO) Systems Engineer for Lockheed Martin Advanced Programs in Orlando. Our team designs, develops, and fields cutting edge EO/IR sensor systems for space based platforms, supporting mission critical customers worldwide.
What You Will Be Doing
As the EO Systems Engineer you will lead the architecture, performance modeling, and algorithm development for a point source infrared sensor. You will collaborate with algorithm, software, hardware, and test engineers to turn requirements into a flight ready sensor solution. Your responsibilities will include:
• Defining sensor requirements and performing trade studies to balance performance, size, weight, and power.
• Building high fidelity system models and conducting radiometric and image enhancement analyses.
• Developing calibration algorithms that ensure accurate radiometric performance across the mission envelope.
• Creating and validating image processing algorithms to improve target detection and scene clarity.
• Working closely with cross functional teams (algorithm, software, hardware, test) to integrate and verify the sensor architecture.
• Generating technical documentation, including design reports, test plans, and verification results.
• Presenting technical findings and trade recommendations to internal stakeholders and external customers.
• Supporting test and evaluation activities, analyzing data, and refining models based on test outcomes.
