Description
We are seeking a Sensor Integration Engineer to support selection, characterisation, calibration, and integration of multi-modal navigation and localisation sensors for aerospace applications. This role operates at the intersection of electrical, mechanical, and software engineering, requiring the ability to work across disciplines and directly contribute to cross-functional engineering efforts.
Key Responsibilities:
- Support sensor integration activities from specification through production
- Develop and execute sensor characterisation and calibration procedures for IMUs, GNSS receivers, cameras, and other navigation sensors
- Contribute to sensor trade studies and selection processes
Collaboration:
- Work closely with electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and software engineering teams on electrical interfaces, power distribution, and signal conditioning, mounting solutions, alignment, and thermal/vibration considerations, software interfaces, drivers, data acquisition, and calibration implementation
- Participate in design reviews across EE/ME/SW disciplines, providing interdisciplinary perspective and coordination
Technical Contributions:
- Develop and execute test plans for sensor performance characterisation and validation
- Document sensor characteristics, trade studies, and integration requirements
- Develop or modify calibration scripts and data processing tools
- Support development of calibration procedures and tooling
- Debug issues spanning hardware-firmware-software boundaries
- Review and contribute to schematics, CAD models, and code as necessary
Requirements:
- BS in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Physics, or related field
- 1-4 years of relevant experience (new grads with strong cross-functional internship/project experience will be considered)
- Demonstrated ability to work across at least two of: electrical, mechanical, software domains
Desirable Qualifications:
- Experience with navigation or localisation sensors (IMUs, GNSS, cameras, altimeters, etc.)
- Exposure to sensor calibration or characterisation activities
- Basic proficiency with engineering tools such as Altium, NX, and Teamcenter
- Familiarity with embedded systems or real-time software
- Understanding of coordinate transformations or sensor fusion concepts
- Experience with automated testing or data acquisition systems
- Knowledge of aerospace environmental testing or standards
Offer Package:
- Pay within range listed ($110,000 - $170,000 a year) + Bonus + Benefits + Equity
