## Description

specializes in designing, prototyping, and testing laser communication systems. We develop solutions to mitigate signal fluctuations caused by vibration, turbulence, and wavefront distortions, with a focus on secure, high-bandwidth communication links. Our key projects include laser communication terminals for ground, air, space, and testing terminals for interoperability with standards. We are seeking a short-term control system developer to join our team in testing Pointing, Acquisition, and Tracking (PAT) systems. This role will involve the designing of testbeds to fully assess PAT systems, developing code to collect data, and analyzing the data., Ability to create / design testbeds to assess PAT systems
Develop telemetry and data collection software
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate designs for testing
Test and validate PAT Systems with hardware-in-the-loop testing.
Troubleshoot and resolve issues within PAT systems.
