You will join Muon's calibration team to develop calibration and image processing for the unique multi-spectral infrared data captured by several instrument variations across Muon's IR missions. You will commission and calibrate the three FireSat satellites of the Initial Operating Capability constellation, then develop and lead a comprehensive calibration plan for the next-generation Space-Based Environmental Monitoring instruments. You will collaborate with the IR Instrument team on pre-launch calibration activities before transitioning to lead full on-orbit calibration efforts. Along the way you will write production-ready code, build and operate calibration pipelines, and continually learn new topics spanning measurement techniques, geospatial data engineering, and software engineering.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement radiometric calibration and image processing of the multispectral infrared imagery from Muon's FireSat mission
- Develop then execute the calibration program for the SBEM infrared camera
- Research and develop improvements to foundational data calibration and processing
- Implement and operate production pipelines for calibration and data processing
- Write production-ready code
- Work cross functionally within the team and across Muon to design, build, and maintain operational services from Muon's core remote sensing missions
- Learn new topics as needed such as measurement techniques, geospatial data engineering, software engineering, and customer domain-specific implications
Requirements
- PhD with 3+ years of industry experience; or MS with 6+ years industry experience; or BS +8 years industry experience
