About Us
Array Labs builds advanced radar systems to help humanity understand and respond to changes across the physical world.
We're launching a coordinated fleet of radar satellites to create a high-resolution 3D map of the Earth, updated in real time, enabling faster, smarter decision-making for government and commercial organizations supporting disaster response, infrastructure resilience, and mission-critical geopolitical intelligence.
We design and build our satellites end-to-end, producing the world's most advanced earth observation satellites. Our fleet will deliver unprecedented levels of accuracy, coverage, and responsiveness to power critical insights precisely where they're needed most.
Responsibilities
- Responsible for building and implementing automation solutions for spacecraft and ground station for operating swarms of coordinated imaging satellites
- Implement controllers developed by GNC engineers to plan and execute satellite maneuvers, including orbit corrections and station-keeping, to optimize satellite positions and performance.
Develop and maintain mission planning software that integrates mission design, operational concepts, and flight hardware requirementsDesign and implement systems to manage asynchronous data streams, integrating real-time information to generate and upload new decisions and schedulesDesign architecture concepts considering spacecraft coordination, payload and system budget capabilities, data collection requirements, autonomy, and mission operationsImplement automation and algorithms for precise orbit determination of Array Labs and GNSS satellitesEvolve and implement models to characterize vehicles and satellite systems propulsion, power, precision, navigation, timing, and tracking requirementsOptimize schedules to maximize imagery opportunities based on imaging priorities and system capabilitiesBasic Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in engineering, computer science or a related field, with 3+ years of experience
- At least two of the preferred skill and experiences listed
- Experience developing autonomous systems and integrating them into larger operational frameworks.
- Understanding of how to create, configure, and manage Docker containers
- Experience with continuous integration systems and automated test execution pipelines (Gitlab preferred).
