Senior Acquisition, Tracking & Pointing Engineer

As a Senior Acquisition, Tracking & Pointing Engineer, you will lead the development of the pointing and tracking subsystem for our FSO laser communication terminal. You will design the algorithms and controls (both software and hardware). This is a hands-on role blending optics, sensors, and control theory – you’ll be architecting the pointing control loops, selecting sensors (cameras, trackers, IMUs), and coding or configuring the real-time control software/FPGA.

You will have broad autonomy to define the PAT architecture and will be the go-to expert for optical pointing and tracking, with the opportunity to grow a team as our FSO programs expand.

This role is on-site and will interface heavily with the optical, photonics, and modem teams to ensure an integrated design.
