$140k - $180kUrban Sky
Salary: $140,000 - 180,000 per year Requirements:
- Experience developing complete camera and imaging systems, from sensor through downstream consumer
- Working knowledge of image-processing pipelines, including debayering, calibration, and correction, and CUDA or other GPU-accelerated processing
- Experience with optical calibration and characterization, including distortion modeling, vignetting correction, and MTF or sharpness measurement, and implementing related pipeline corrections
- Familiarity with motion and temporal compensation techniques such as registration, stabilization, and temporal filtering for imaging from moving platforms
- At least 5 years of embedded firmware development in C/C++ for embedded Linux, bare-metal, or RTOS systems
- Hands-on experience deploying software on NVIDIA Jetson or comparable embedded Linux/SoC platforms
- Deep experience transferring high-rate data over PCIe, including drivers, DMA, and endpoint or root-complex operation
- Strong grounding in networking, data routing, and command-and-control infrastructure
- Strong hardware debugging skills and ability to work from schematics
- Preferred: IR or thermal imaging, including non-uniformity correction and radiometric calibration
- Preferred: GStreamer, V4L2, or other imaging and video pipeline frameworks
- Preferred: Computational imaging, such as super-resolution, stacking, or HDR
- Preferred: Defense imagery and metadata standards, including MISB/KLV or STANAG, or defense and mission-critical development experience
- Preferred: FPGA workflows or high-speed serial interfaces such as SerDes, Aurora, or MIPI
- Preferred: Experience with optics and optical hardware
- Preferred: Multi-sensor and multispectral fusion, including co-registering and combining imagery across sensors and bands
- Must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident
- Must be able to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance; an active clearance is a plus
- Must live near Denver, Colorado, or be willing to relocate; this is an onsite role at our Denver headquarters
- Must be able to travel for field events, exercises, and customer engagements
- Lead embedded firmware for our EO and IR payloads, including sensor bring-up, driver development, and edge computing on NVIDIA Jetson platforms
- Integrate cameras and sensors over PCIe, MIPI/CSI, and USB, and develop board-support packages for custom carrier boards, system-on-modules, and companion microcontrollers
- Own the CUDA-based L0 image-processing pipeline at the edge, applying debayering, white balance, gamma, and camera and lens correction to raw frames before encoding
- Develop IR processing, including non-uniformity correction, bad-pixel replacement, and radiometric calibration
- Build multi-frame super-resolution and related computational imaging capabilities
- Implement KLV/MISB imagery metadata so every frame includes accurate pointing, position, and time information
- Design high-throughput vehicle data paths, particularly PCIe, and routing infrastructure for imagery, telemetry, and command-and-control across satellite, tactical-radio, and IP links
- Optimize latency, throughput, and determinism while balancing pipeline computation with onboard machine-learning workloads using shared CUDA resources
- Connect payload firmware with the gimbal and motion-control stack, using pointing and autonomy commands from the broader payload software architecture
- Develop and maintain EO/IR optical calibrations, including lens-distortion modeling, vignetting and flat-field correction, and MTF or sharpness characterization, to ensure repeatable image-quality measurement across cameras and flights
- Implement motion and temporal compensation, including frame-to-frame registration, stabilization, and temporal filtering, to improve imagery from a moving platform
- Support field events, exercises, and customer engagements
