Key Responsibilities

  • Implement systems engineering processes for electro-optic and imaging systems, including requirements definition, system design, implementation, and verification.
  • Develop system architectures by translating user needs into functional designs for sensor systems, optical assemblies, and image processing components.
  • Create detailed specifications, including System and Subsystem Specifications (SSS), Hardware Requirements Specifications (HRS), and Software Requirements Specifications (SRS).
  • Support system verification and validation through the documentation of test results and compliance reports related to optical performance and sensor accuracy.
  • Lead or contribute to cross-functional teams across optics, electronics, software, and mechanical engineering, addressing performance trade-offs and integration challenges.
  • Participate in Design Reviews (SRR, SDR, PDR, CDR) and Test Readiness Reviews (TRR), ensuring adherence to established engineering processes and checklists.
  • Compile and maintain comprehensive project documentation, including Concepts of Operation (CONOPS), Systems Engineering Management Plans (SEMP), and Test & Evaluation Plans.
  • Conduct market research to assess the electro-optics landscape, analyze emerging technologies, and identify competitive products.
  • Manage technical processes including risk management, configuration control, and design decision-making.
  • Prepare and present technical papers, proposals, and reports to internal and external stakeholders.
  • Provide mentorship, technical guidance, and task delegation to junior engineers or team members as appropriate.

 

Education & Experience

  • Master’s degree in Engineering or a relevant discipline related to Electro-Optics or Imaging Systems.
  • Minimum of 5 years’ experience in system engineering, with proven experience in electro-optical systems design, imaging sensors, and system integration for optronic applications.
  • Hands-on experience in creating systems specifications, managing development cycles, and validating optical performance.
  • Exposure to system lifecycle methodologies, such as the V-model or Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE).

 

Key Skills

  • Strong understanding of systems engineering processes and lifecycle management.
  • Technical expertise in imaging technologies, sensor systems, optical assemblies, and performance modeling.
  • Familiarity with system validation, optical testing procedures, and imaging calibration techniques.
  • Experience with MBSE methodologies and tools (e.g., SysML)
  • Proficiency in requirement management tools such as IBM DOORS
  • INCOSE Systems Engineering Professional (SEP) certification or equivalent.
  • Excellent communication, documentation, and stakeholder engagement skills.
