Job Description
Group 97 - Applied Space Systems The MIT Lincoln Laboratory Applied Space Systems Group develops a wide variety of sensor systems for detecting, tracking, and characterizing natural and man-made phenomena. The group has significant mission expertise in short-term and long-term environmental monitoring applications. With a focus on prototyping end-to-end systems, the Applied Space Systems group has deep technical expertise that spans a wide range, including architecture definition, physical modeling, sensor design, performance analysis, algorithm development, data processing, and operations. The group seeks physicists, space physicists, astronomers, applied mathematicians, electrical engineers, computer engineers and those with related experience who have interest in developing cutting edge remote sensing technologies and applications. Example Applied Space Systems Group projects include: The NASA Time-Resolved Observations of Precipitation structure and storm Intensity with a Constellation of Smallsats (TROPICS) mission Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite Series Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) Applied Space Weather Job Description There is an increasing national need to understand the space environment and the impacts of variability on HF communications that rely on the ionosphere. The successful candidate will support and lead efforts to develop and integrate ionospheric models to improve the performance of radar, communication, surveillance and environmental monitoring systems. Experience in space weather modeling with specific applications to ionospheric radio frequency propagation is required. The successful candidate will work closely with the group office to identify and pursue business development opportunities for the space environments portfolio. Therefore, a demonstrated ability to lead teams and manage programs is preferr
