Summary

We are seeking a highly skilled Missile Seeker Systems Engineer to join the team in Huntsville, Alabama.

Contract Overview

Golden Dome is a national-level, whole-of-nation initiative in which you will play a critical role in advancing next-generation homeland defense capabilities. If you are seeking a fast-paced position focused on developing innovative solutions for the Space-Based Interceptor mission, this opportunity is designed for you.

Key Responsibilities

Missile Seeker Design & Integration:

Provide technical leadership for the design, development, and integration of kill vehicle subsystems, with an emphasis on advanced electro-optical (EO/IR) and and/or radio frequency (RF) missile seeker capabilities.
Evaluate state-of-the-art systems that meet mission-specific performance and sensitivity requirements.

System Requirements Development:

Define detailed engineering requirements, technical performance parameters, and mission-specific interfaces for EO, RF, and IR seeker payloads in compliance with Department of War standards.

Technical Analysis:

Conduct rigorous analyses on the performance of electro-optical, RF, and infrared Seekers within expected deployment conditions.
Evaluate missile seeker efficiency using advanced techniques such as RF signal propagation analysis, IR spectrum evaluation, and optical system calibration under varying environmental conditions.
Collaborate with materials, optics, and antenna design engineers to evaluate optimized systems for missile seeker performance

Test & Validation:

Lead Seeker subsystem testing campaigns, focusing on seeker component validation and calibration.
Oversee development of test plans and procedures for environmental testing (e.g., vibration, thermal vacuum, EMI/EMC) specific to EO/RF/IR systems to ensure operational performance under space conditions.
Evaluate sensor alignment, stray light analysis, and functional validation of EO and IR subsystems integrated with RF payloads.

Risk Management:

Identify, assess, and mitigate technical risks associated with seeker payloads, ensuring resilience and reliability through all mission phases.

Collaboration:

Work closely with multidisciplinary teams, including optical and RF engineers, materials scientists, Guidance Navigation & Control (GNC) specialists, software architects, and program managers, to ensure seamless integration of missile seeker technologies , including structural dynamics, thermal modeling, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) evaluation.

Documentation & Reporting:

Prepare detailed technical documentation, such as requirements specifications, test reports, and performance analyses, for EO, RF, and IR payload developments.
Present findings and progress metrics to internal and external stakeholders, demonstrating alignment with program objectives.

Required Qualifications

Technical Expertise:

Comprehensive knowledge of EO/IR Seeker design including imaging sensors, targeting algorithms, and missile seeker technologies.
Experience with space environment factors influencing seeker operation, such as radiation shielding, optical material durability, temperature regulation, and signal interference.
Familiarity with Department of War standards for space systems development.
Experience or knowledge of robust sensitivity and detection models for missile seeker performance.

Education and Experience:

Bachelors degree in Engineering, Physics, or a related technical field with 15 years of related experience; Masters degree preferred.
Demonstrated technical expertise in Seeker design and/or evaluation, development, integration, and testing.
Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and expereience with defense industry operations and/or military systems

Required Security Clearance:
