About the position
For more than 60 years, SRI has innovated, developed, and delivered next-generation imaging capabilities and systems for commercial, defense, space, and scientific applications. Today, the Center for Advanced Imaging is pioneering next-generation technologies that are changing the way we see and understand our world across the electro-optical spectrum. From design to fabrication, we develop and deploy complex imagers for space, scientific imaging, commercial applications, spectroscopy and more. The Center for Advanced Imaging Electrical Engineering Team is seeking an innovative and highly motivated individual to join us in the development of state-of-the-art IC designs for numerous commercial, spacecraft, and government applications. The ideal candidate would join a multidisciplinary group dedicated to the development of complex electronics for applications such as low light imaging cameras, space base imaging cameras, LiDAR cameras, including ROIC and Imagers for those applications. The position will work a hybrid schedule, 3-4 days a week in our Princeton, NJ office and 1-2 days working remotely.
