Description
LEAD IMAGE PROCESSING ENGINEER Digantara is a leading Space Surveillance and Intelligence company focused on ensuring orbital safety and sustainability. With expertise in space-based detection, tracking, identification, and monitoring, Digantara provides comprehensive domain awareness across regimes, allowing end users to have actionable intelligence on a single platform. At the core of its infrastructure lies a sophisticated integration of hardware and software capabilities aligned with the key principles of situational awareness: perception (data collection), comprehension (data processing), and prediction (analytics). This holistic approach empowers Digantara to monitor all Resident Space Objects (RSOs) in orbit, fostering comprehensive domain awareness. Digantara is looking for a talented and experienced Lead Image Processing Engineer to develop cutting-edge image processing pipelines for Space Situational Awareness (SSA) applications across ground- and space-based hardware systems, integrating astrometry and photometry. WHY US: A requirement-driven, deployment-first engineering culture built on ownership where your work doesn’t just ship, it launches on Digantara’s satellites. IDEAL CANDIDATE: Someone with demonstrated expertise in leading the design, development, and deployment of end-to-end image processing pipelines for camera or telescope operations. RESPONSIBILITIES • Advance, optimize, maintain, and scale image processing pipelines (including astrometry, photometry, and AI/ML models) across hardware systems. • Ensure competitive performance metrics to achieve state-of-the-art detection capabilities for both onboard space and ground-based systems. • Ensure algorithm robustness in compliance with space and defence standards through rigorous testing, enhancing reliability for mission-critical applications. • Extend image processing algorithms to support additional requirements, including IR systems and control systems for pointing and tracking applications. • Implement standardized documentation and development processes across the team, including algorithm design, Git-based version control, and deployment procedures. • Collaborate closely with embedded and software teams to deploy flight-ready algorithms for ground and onboard processing systems.Required Qualification • Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph. D. degree in Electronics, Computer Science, Astronomy, or any relevant field. • 8+ years of research or industry experience with strong expertise in image processing algorithms, computer vision, and AI/ML models. • Proficiency in high-level programming languages such as Python. • Demonstrated experience leading teams, with strong problem-solving skills and a proven ability to deliver pipelines that meet defined requirements. PREFERRED SKILLS • Deep understanding of computer vision, AI/ML models, and attitude determination and control algorithms. • Strong understanding of adaptive and optimization methods to enhance accuracy and computational efficiency. • Hands-on experience implementing robust and scalable image processing pipelines. • Expertise in algorithm performance quantification, and continuous improvement, and Git repository management. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS • Ability to work effectively in a mission-focused, operational environment. • Critical thinking skills with the ability to make independent decisions. • Interpersonal skills to collaborate within a diverse and dynamic team culture. • Maintain a regular and predictable work schedule. • Verbal and written communications skills as well as organizational skills.
