About the role
About the company
Our client is a defense technology company.
The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Own the integration, assembly and calibration of an imaging sensor package as a complete working system, from the first bench prototype through repeatable production units. You will drive quick hardware iteration cycles, partner with algorithm and opto-mechanical colleagues, and take charge of testing, qualification and supplier readiness.
What you'll do
- Integrate cameras, optics, compute, inertial sensors and power electronics into a compact sensor assembly, including packaging, harnessing and assembly.
- Build, bring up and calibrate units so that each one performs consistently.
- Run repeated cycles of build, field test, data analysis and redesign across several systems in development at the same time.
- Work with algorithm and opto-mechanical engineers to tune and refine the design based on test data.
- Own test procedures, environmental qualification and supply chain for the assembly.
- Automate repetitive tasks using Python and AI tools.
Requirements
What we're looking for
- A university degree in engineering, physics or a closely related discipline.
- Around 8 or more years of hands-on hardware engineering experience.
- A track record of quickly turning ideas into working electronics prototypes, using bench builds, fast fabrication and homemade test fixtures.
- Strong CAD and GD&T skills for fitting dense assemblies into tight spaces.
- Experience taking a complete imaging product from integration through to deployment in the field.
- Comfort working in a fast build-and-test cycle at an early stage of a product.
- Daily use of modern AI tools in your workflow.
- Ability to work fully on-site, with regular weekend travel to a test site and suppliers.
Bonus points
- Background in defense sensing hardware, including cooling, ruggedization and calibration.
- Experience designing, building, calibrating or analyzing sensor systems.
- Familiarity with qualifying hardware for harsh flight or airborne conditions.
