Are you passionate about space?
Do you like contributing to space flight missions?
If so, we 're looking for someone like you to join our team at AP
The Space Science Electronics group at APL builds instruments and electronics systems that generate data used in scientific research. We're a group of about 40 engineers with technical experience that spans across all aspects of instrument production including systems engineering, digital and analog electronics design, FPGA design, and software design. We work very closely with other groups of engineers and scientists who contribute their technical experience to the development of the instruments.
Some examples of our work include: the PEPSSI and LORRI instruments on the New Horizons Spacecraft, most of the instrument suite on the MESSENGER Spacecraft, the Europa Clipper instruments, and dozens more. We are currently working on instruments for the IMAP and Dragonfly missions. Some of the instruments we build include magnetometers, optical imagers, particle instruments and gamma ray and neutron spectrometers. We are seeking talented engineers to contribute to the design, implementation, production, and testing of space flight instrumentation. If you feel passionate about contributing your talents towards various aspects related to analog and front-end sensor electronics of instruments used in spaceflight missions, we would be excited to have you as part of our team.
