Sep 10, 2024
Location:Lexington, MA, US
Company:MIT Lincoln Laboratory
The Advanced Electro-Optical Systems Group specializes in the rapid design and prototyping of innovative electro-optic systems that address challenges facing the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, NASA, and other U.S. government entities. The group maintains broad expertise in satellite systems, electro-optical and infrared sensors, charge-coupled devices, electronics, image processing, and low-size/weight/power optical communications systems. The vertically-integrated group leverages this core expertise to architect, design, prototype, and deploy hardware and software systems in support of mission needs. Emphasis is on working closely with end users to develop enabling concepts, then building and fielding integrated systems on responsive timelines. The group seeks self-motivated engineers and scientists with multidisciplinary skill sets and a passion for prototyping systems that address critical national needs.Job DescriptionWe are seeking highly motivated students with a passion for learning, exploration, and solving complex problems. Participants will contribute to ongoing research, hardware & software prototyping, and supporting operational systems critical to national security. Examples of past projects led by participants include:Software optimization of image processing algorithms for novel space systems
FPGA Implementation of a data serialization and laser modulation solution
High-fidelity software simulation of a stellar imaging system
Prototyping of a novel, sensorless, brushless DC motor control testbed and algorithm for precision pointing applications
Characterization of a neuromorphic camera and exploration of novel capabilities enabled by this type of sensor
Research into and modeling of reflectivity metrics for various space materials
Core Candidate RequirementsPursuing a degree in STEM or another relevant field
Prefer at least 2 years of undergraduate study (or equivalent) prior to employment
U.S. citizenship
Ability to obtain a Secret security clearance
Ideal Candidates will have experience with skills from any of the following sections:Embedded SystemsVHDL or Verilog
Simulation tools and frameworks (e.g., Modelsim)
Microcontrollers
Real Time Operating Systems such as Zephyr or FreeRTOS
Serial protocols such as SPI, i2c, PCIe, etc.
SoftwareProgramming Languages: C++, Rust, Python
Databases: SQL, Non-relational
Familiarity with version-control systems
Design concepts and patterns
Electrical Design & ValidationFamiliar with design tools such as Altium, Xpedition, or KiCAD
Circuit simulation
Familiar with benchtop testing equipment such as Oscilloscopes, Digital Logic, Spectrum, and Vector Network Analyzers
Controls, System Modeling, & SimulationDynamical systems modeling, using differential and/or difference equations
Mathematical tools, including linear algebra, Fourier analysis, Laplace and Z transforms, transfer functions
Continuous- and/or discrete-time signal processing
Classical and/or modern control theory (e.g., Bode plots, Nyquist stability criterion, LQR, Kalman filters, etc.)
Physics/OpticsRay and diffractive optics
Optical system design
Exposure to image processing techniques
Orbital mechanics
Selected candidate will be subject to a pre-employment background investigation and must be able to obtain and maintain a Secret level DoD security clearance.MIT Lincoln Laboratory is an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment and will not be discriminated against on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, veteran status, disability status, or genetic information; U.S. citizenship is required.Requisition ID:
