LiDAR Research Scientist

at  Intellisense Systems Inc

Intellisense Systems, Inc. innovates what seemed impossible. We are a fast-growing Southern California technology innovator that solves tough, mission-critical challenges for our customers in the aerospace and defense markets. We design, develop, and manufacture advanced products for ground, maritime, and airborne applications. Our products have been deployed in every extreme environment on Earth!
We are looking for an exceptional Research Scientist to join our Emerging Technologies team. The team works on cutting-edge optical sensor research involving innovative design, selection, and implementation of emerging optoelectronic components, as well as system integration, testing, and troubleshooting.
As part of the team, you will work alongside other experienced scientists and engineers to develop novel, cutting-edge solutions to several challenging problems. Understanding and experience with UV/VIS/IR active and passive components, optical, opto-mechanical, and opto-electronic system design, image processing, Lidar-based atmospheric remote sensing, EO/IR sensors, night vision, and electronics are desired. This is a hands-on research and development position with project management responsibilities.

• Lead new concept creation and architecture design, development, and implementation activities related to optical sensor systems development including performance simulation, field prototyping, and testing.
• Apply experience in the use of modern programming, modeling, and simulation tools (e.g. COMSOL, ZEMAX, Matlab/Simulink, C/C++, Python, LabVIEW, OpenGL and OpenCV libraries) to help develop new technologies.
• Familiarity with any atmospheric laser propagation simulation software is a plus.
• Work alongside engineering and research teams in researching, selecting, evaluating, and/or developing component/system and packaging for specific applications.
• Interact with government and non-government representatives to ensure customer requirements are fully understood and addressed.
• Lead/provide technical write-ups related to system, hardware, and software development on bids and proposals.
• MODTRAN (laser propagation software)
• Other duties as assigned by management.
