(Fastwater Staffing) Staff Systems Engineer, Signal Processing / SAR Processor -Fully Remote

Our client is hiring a Staff-level engineer to lead a highly specialized team building cutting-edge, high-throughput signal processing systems that turn raw satellite radar data into SAR imagery, deployed on the ground and potentially on board spacecraft. Fully remote from the US; optional relocation to Vancouver later.

What you will do

Lead the definition, specification, technical risk management, integration, verification and validation of SAR processors, new and existing

Supervise interface control document development; ensure hardware and software components integrate into the larger ground or space segment

Coordinate trade-offs between theoretical algorithms and their implementation on the actual processor

Troubleshoot root causes of processing errors and artefacts in image products and find mitigations; optimize processing time toward near-real-time

Take part in mission design trade-off studies; mentor the team; advise senior management and new business pursuits

What you need

Degree in Electrical Engineering, Engineering Physics, Math or Physics (or equivalent)

12+ years in an engineering environment, including 5+ years on complex signal processing systems (radar, medical imaging, computer vision or similar) and 10+ years in a large product development or systems engineering environment

Solid grounding in high-speed, high-throughput data analysis and transmission design

MATLAB, Python or C++

Clear communicator to technical, sales, executive and customer audiences

US citizen or permanent resident

Nice to have : SAR remote sensing (system design, operation, exploitation, calibration); satellite SAR payload design and operations; FPGA or ASIC based system design; geospatial data.
