Massachusetts Information Technology Jobs

The Homeland Sensors and Analytics Group designs, builds, and fields solutions that significantly enhance the tactical decision-making process of analysts and operators who secure the homeland. This includes security for critical infrastructure, land and maritime borders, transportation systems, and soft targets / crowded places. It also includes support for law enforcement, special operations, and intelligence analysts who track and disrupt transnational criminal and terrorist organizations. To do this, the group works on a combination of novel sensing technologies and data analytics techniques in order to provide better threat awareness to decision makers. The group designs systems that collect and process a wide range of data types — including radar, visible imagery and video, non-visible imagery, text, time-series data, and 3D point clouds — often applying advanced machine learning methods to convert raw data into actionable insights. The group places an emphasis on taking technology from the concept phase through deployment and transition in order to achieve operational impact.

Job Description

Our prototyping team is seeking highly motivated engineers who are interested in solving challenging technical problems and help build advanced technologies for high impact missions with DHS and DoD mission sets. This position is to support the design, development, implementation, and testing of prototype systems development including circuit design, printed circuit board schematic and layout, hardware integration, and embedded systems. The candidate will work in a team-oriented development environment working on fast-paced development goals. Candidate should be willing to work on-site in the office 3 or more days a week, due to the hardware-focused development, and occasionally in outdoor test environments. Relevant work experience (including internships, co-ops , …) highly desired.

• Strong written and oral communication

• Familiarity with analog or digital circuits (such as microcontrollers or op-amps)

Desired Skills

Strong candidates will have experience in the following:

• Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design, including schematic capture and board layout tools (such as Mentor Graphics or Altium or other)

• Writing software or firmware in one of the following: C, C++, Python, or Java

• System-level design, system architecture, or trade studies

Additional experience in one (1) or more of the following is desired, but not required:

• RF engineering (such as radar or designing antennas)

• Low-level communication protocols (such as SPI, I2C, UART)

• Mechanical design software (such as SolidWorks or Autodesk)

• Low-SWaP (size, weight, and power) designs
