From Matter Intelligence's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Welcome to Matter, where we are building the future of vision AI: pairing a world-first sensor that sees molecular chemistry, temperature, and 3D shape with a Large World Model that will be the most powerful intelligence engine for the physical world. This system doesn’t just see what something looks like; it understands everything from a single pixel. We call this
Superintelligent Vision.
Our team has delivered technologies to Mars for NASA/JPL, designed advanced sensors for U.S. Defense, and frontier artificial intelligence systems. We are now building the next generation of space- and airborne-based sensing systems.
We are seeking an early career Systems Engineer to support the architecture, design, verification, validation, and I&T of air-borne and space-borne remote-sensing systems. This role is intended for an early-career engineer who wants broad, hands-on exposure to real hardware and software that flies while developing strong systems engineering judgment.
Working closely with systems engineers, subject matter experts, and subsystem leads, you will help translate mission needs into system architecture, technical requirements, allocations, budgets, internal and external interfaces, trades, and technical risks. You will also help define the verification and validation strategy, support requirements closure, perform system analyses, support integration and test, investigate anomalies, and contribute to mission operations.
This is not a requirements-management role. This is true systems engineering, an opportunity to develop an end-to-end technical understanding and learn what it takes to maintain the technical integrity of a complex system. The role emphasizes learning by doing, with increasing responsibility and ownership as you demonstrate sound technical judgment and reliable execution.
Within 30 days, you can navigate the system architecture, technical baseline, key requirements and interfaces, test environments, and team decision paths.
Within 60 days, you have delivered a reviewed technical product—such as an analysis, trade study, requirement or interface update, resource budget, or verification product—and supported an integration or test activity from planning through data review.
Within 90 days, the team trusts you to take technical ownership of a scoped function, interface, resource budget, analysis, or verification area, with appropriate guidance and senior review.
