Senior Research Scientist for circuit technology development at NVIDIA. Collaborating with elite researchers to advance high - performance, low - power circuit technologies.
About the role
- Applied Scientist leading mission concept design for next-generation satellites at Planet. Working with R&D on industry’s most challenging optical, thermal, and communications problems.
Responsibilities
- Lead the "Phase 0" and "Phase A" architecture of new satellite missions, defining orbital parameters, constellation density, and system-level performance requirements.
- Invent and patent novel solutions for optical payloads, active/passive thermal management, and advanced communication links (RF and Lasercom) to ensure competitive advantage.
- Build high-fidelity, first-principles simulations to perform rapid trade studies on mission feasibility and hardware-software trade-offs.
- Publish internal whitepapers and external patent applications to secure the company’s technological moat.
- Lead the technical contribution for external proposals for Planet’s Space Business.
Requirements
- Master’s or Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering, Applied Physics, Optical Sciences, or a related field.
- 12+ years of experience in satellite system design, with a specific focus on constellation-level engineering.
- Exceptional understanding of first-principles physics, including thermodynamics, orbital mechanics, and optics.
- Proficiency in Python and C++ for building custom multiphysics simulation tools.
- Solving hard engineering problems where thermal constraints directly conflict with optical or communication requirements.
- Hands-on experience with industry-standard analysis tools.
- Excellent communication skills to bridge the gap between theoretical research and flight-hardware production.
