EO/IR Sensor Algorithm Engineer

Apply EO/IR phenomenology and C++ expertise to sensor algorithms for True Anomaly’s space-based missile defense systems near Denver or Long Beach. Work onsite where specified.

This engineer transforms multi-band infrared and visible imagery into physical object understanding. The work includes radiometric calibration, band registration, adaptive detection, PSF photometry, signature modeling, and nonlinear tracking. Algorithms progress from first-principles design through software- and hardware-in-the-loop verification and flight software integration.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop C++ processing for multi-band EO/IR imagery
• Implement calibration, registration, stacking, detection, and photometry
• Derive physics-based features from object signatures
• Analyze algorithm performance using Monte Carlo campaigns
• Validate algorithms with high-fidelity scene generation

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in physics or related engineering discipline
• Proficiency with C/C++ and Python
• Two-plus years developing image processing algorithms
• Two-plus years developing detection and tracking algorithms
• Real-world deployment experience with implemented algorithms

Use EO/IR calibration, phenomenology, C++, and statistical validation to advance trustworthy perception for space-based defense.
