Jobs at Matter Intelligence

Create precise 3D CAD models, assembly drawings, part drawings, and bills of material for airborne optical and optoelectrical hardware. Perform tolerance analyses, select materials, and translate optical requirements into manufacturable mechanical designs. Collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and suppliers; support prototypes, fit checks, integration, troubleshooting, drawing releases, revision control, and configuration updates.

Designs, analyzes, integrates, and qualifies precision optomechanical assemblies and optical payloads for space and airborne platforms. Responsibilities include optomechanical architecture, STOP analysis, tolerance analysis, GD&T, FEA, alignment, metrology, environmental testing, manufacturing documentation, vendor coordination, and technical leadership. The role owns designs from concept through flight hardware and requires hands-on integration, testing, cross-functional collaboration, and mentorship.

Develop and maintain embedded firmware, device drivers, and hardware-control interfaces for airborne and spaceborne sensing payloads. Support board bring-up, peripheral integration, command and telemetry, timing, fault handling, automated testing, hardware-in-the-loop testing, qualification, and flight operations. Diagnose hardware and firmware issues using instrumentation and test data, document root causes, and deliver reliable, traceable firmware releases.

Develop and maintain Matter’s Integrated Master Schedule, coordinate planning with engineering, science, and vendor teams, and create schedule performance reports. Analyze resource planning, costs, procurement, supply chain, and execution data to support program management. The role requires schedule risk analysis, baseline management, reporting, and guidance for multidisciplinary teams throughout aerospace or complex project lifecycles. It is based onsite in El Segundo, California, with field deployments and test campaigns as needed.

Build end-to-end software products that transform ultraspectral sensing data, geospatial information, and AI outputs into customer-facing intelligence applications. Develop React interfaces, Python backend services, APIs, data integrations, and geospatial workflows. Deploy and operate reliable AWS services while maintaining testing, observability, performance, documentation, and production support. Collaborate with product, design, AI, infrastructure, and users to deliver capabilities from concept through deployment.

Provides deep subject-matter expertise, strategic guidance, technical advice, data analysis, research, and actionable insights. The SME collaborates cross-functionally with teams and stakeholders, supports training and documentation, and contributes to quality assurance in a high-tech geospatial AI environment.

Own the end-to-end electrical architecture for advanced sensing payloads and airborne and spaceborne systems. Define interfaces, power, signal integrity, data paths, grounding, reliability, requirements, budgets, and verification approaches. Lead trade studies and technical reviews while guiding schematic design, board development, bring-up, integration, testing, risk resolution, and flight-readiness evidence. The role requires onsite work in El Segundo, California and compliance with applicable ITAR eligibility requirements.

Designs and maintains detailed mechanical assemblies, drawings, and bills of material for airborne payload hardware. Translates optical, electrical, thermal, and structural constraints into manufacturable packaging solutions. Supports prototyping, fabrication, assembly, integration, testing, troubleshooting, and flight operations while maintaining configuration control and incorporating build and test feedback.

Develop and validate control algorithms, models, architectures, and verification plans for advanced sensing systems. Evaluate stability and performance through simulation, hardware-in-the-loop, and system-level testing. Collaborate with software, firmware, electronics, mechanical, and systems teams during integration and troubleshooting. Support the transition of algorithms from simulation to hardware while diagnosing performance limits and guiding design tradeoffs.

Design, integrate, align, calibrate, and operate optical systems for airborne sensing payloads. Conduct optical trade studies, define interfaces and tolerances, execute laboratory and field testing, analyze flight-test results, troubleshoot performance gaps, and document requirements, test methods, calibration outcomes, and configuration changes.

Supports the architecture, analysis, requirements, interfaces, verification, validation, integration, testing, anomaly resolution, and mission operations of airborne and spaceborne remote-sensing systems. The role involves hands-on work with hardware and software, technical documentation, system-level trade studies, test campaigns, and cross-functional coordination across optics, electrical, mechanical, thermal, avionics, software, AI&T, and operations teams.

The Flight Software Engineer will design, implement, and maintain flight software systems, ensuring reliability and performance under constrained environments. Responsibilities include collaborating with teams, debugging hardware/software interactions, and improving testing workflows.

Design, analyze, test, and integrate PCB and electronic subsystems for airborne and spaceborne sensing platforms. Own schematics, layout, component selection (Altium), run circuit simulation (Cadence PSpice), perform bring-up/debug, conduct validation and acceptance testing, ensure IPC-compliant manufacturability and reliability, and collaborate with cross-functional teams for subsystem integration.
