Position Overview:
Xiomas Technologies is seeking a highly motivated and talented individual to join our team. As an integral member of our development team, you will be responsible for assisting in the design, development, and maintenance of software applications. This is an excellent opportunity for a recent graduate or someone with limited professional experience to jumpstart their career in software engineering. We are also eager to discuss this position with more experienced engineers if you are interested!
Company Overview:
Xiomas Technologies is a developer of high-performance imaging systems, specializing in:
- Requirements Analysis and Definition
- Modeling for Remote Sensing Systems
- System Engineering and Development
- Software and Computer Engineering
- Optical Engineering
We are a very small company established in 2007 and currently undertaking a $5M, 3 year, NASA Sequential Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) program. We intend to hire several people over the next few months to support this program. We anticipate substantial follow -on awards and in fact have recently been awarded an additional $600K in funding to develop our technology for use in stratospheric balloons.TheNASASequential SBIR will develop two Thermal Mapping and Measurement Systems(TMMS). The first will operate in the NASA ER2 stratospheric aircraft and the second will operate in a CubeSat in low earth orbit. Following is from the Sequential SBIR Invitation Letter and describes NASA’s goal to infuse this technology into existing NASA programs:“The infusion case for this accelerated development is to support national goals and, specifically, NASA’s Science Mission Directorate’s (SMD) Earth Science Division (ESD) goals to rapidly advance and implement a science instrument packages into a range of vehicles, including UAVs but also including other airborne, suborbital, and orbital platforms, to perform near-term studies of wildfires and climate change factors (and the impacts thereof). Specifically, the goal for this technology is to be able to conduct thermal imaging on UAV and other platforms to support a range of studies including, but not limited to, active fire studies and fire front detection. This effort should accelerate the development of the system by appropriately developing and demonstrating the sensing capabilities of the instrument as well as of the integrated package, conducting appropriate developments, simulated environmental testing of the system representative of pertinent deployment platforms including, but not limited to, aircraft and space platforms, and appropriate flight tests in order to demonstrate a system (and associated support/integration/software assets) ready for follow-on NASA demonstrations and deployments in field campaigns. This should be done in order to support follow -on efforts by NASA SMD ESD leading up to and targeting the 2025 timeframe whereby this system can be integrated into a variety of potential assets for performance validation and science data gathering in wildfire field campaigns.”
Xiomas is seeking to hire a Computer/Software Engineer to support the development of this technology and to grow into a senior or lead technical role in the next few years. Xiomas principles have a combined 80+ years experience and are eager to provide growth and learning opportunities for the right candidate. Xiomas offers a competitive salary and benefits package including profit sharing and potential equity grants (ownership).
