About the Role
As a Sensor Systems Engineer, you will architect the physical perception systems for STARK's platforms, focusing on integrating EO/IR cameras, IMUs, and Lidar. You will manage the hardware lifecycle from defining optical specifications to debugging electrical interfaces, aiming to deliver optimized, ruggedized sensor payloads that push Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) limits.
Responsibilities
- Evaluate and manage technical relationships with external sensor and optics suppliers, reviewing complex datasheets to ensure components meet strict mission parameters.
- Define core optical specifications (e.g., focal length, Field of View, MTF) leveraging a deep understanding of optical physics and system-level requirements.
- Own the end-to-end physical and electronic integration of EO/IR cameras, IMUs, lenses, and gimbals into our platforms.
- Use C++ code to interface directly with sensor SDKs and ensure robust data flow to the embedded compute modules.
- Script hardware tests, automate optical lab equipment, and analyze sensor data pipelines utilizing C++ and Python.
- Execute intrinsic and extrinsic calibration routines to align IMUs with optical axes.
- Navigate complex design trade-offs with cross-functional teams to balance optical resolution against strict weight, thermal, and power constraints.
Requirements
- A degree in Electrical Engineering, Optical Engineering, Mechatronics, Physics, or a closely related field.
- Deep understanding of applied optics, including lens selection, camera architectures, sensor formats, and radiometric performance.
- Experience handling hardware suppliers, vetting vendor specifications, and driving technical procurement decisions.
- Strong foundational knowledge of imaging systems (EO and IR cameras) and Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs).
- Proven hands-on experience using hardware diagnostic tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters) to debug low-level hardware issues.
- Practical programming experience writing C++ for hardware interfacing and Python for test automation.
- Eligible to obtain and maintain the appropriate security clearance required for this position.
