Tomorrow.io provides a weather intelligence platform that delivers actionable forecasting and atmospheric insights for operational decision-making. Backed by Space Capital.
About the role
In this role, you will work at the intersection of optical engineering, imaging systems, spacecraft engineering, and atmospheric science. You will help translate mission and scientific objectives into instrument requirements, support payload performance analysis and verification, and contribute throughout integration, test, launch, and operations.
What they're looking for
- 4-7+ years of hands-on engineering experience developing, integrating, testing, or operating EO/IR, imaging, optical payload, airborne sensing, or comparable electro-optical systems
- Strong fundamentals in imaging system performance, including detector behavior, radiometry, signal-to-noise ratio, MTF, and image-quality concepts
- Experience with one or more of the following: imaging sensors, detectors, optical assemblies, electro-optical hardware, focal plane systems, or optical payload subsystems
- Working knowledge of optical performance characterization, calibration, and validation
- Understanding of image-quality and noise contributors including detector noise, stray light, thermal effects, structural stability, and jitter
- Familiarity with performing or reviewing SNR calculations and image-quality or performance budgets
