MTEQ is a lead sensor system integrator focused on providing advanced sensor technology to address C5ISR mission requirements. MTEQ provides a broad range of technical support across two divisions. Our Technical Services Division provides research, development, analysis and field service support to advance the architecting and fielding of advanced sensor systems for ISR and Force Protection missions. Our System Division provide the engineering design, development of complete and integrated solutions from hardware to software for sensors, systems and command and control architecture. MTEQ is seeking an experienced Electro-Mechanical Controls Engineer with extensive knowledge and strong communication skills to join our team of well qualified, diverse individuals at our Lorton, VA engineering center and Corporate headquarters. The successful candidate will join a team involved in the development of electro-optic sensor systems for government and commercial applications. ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS AND ESSENTIAL JOB DUTIES: Design, analysis and testing of stabilized gimbal and precision pointing mirror subassemblies. These may include such components as the gimbal themselves, Inertial Measurement Units (IMU), Inertial Navigation Systems (INS), DSP/Microcontroller control systems, bore sighting and transfer alignment algorithms, motor selection, power amps, and the sensors being stabilized. Create system specifications, perform systems engineering, define system architecture, and develop requirements. Support development of gimbal systems controlled using feedback from optical and inertial sensors such as IMU's, gyros, accelerometers, and lasers. Develop and implement servo control algorithms for various gimbal modes to include scanning, Geo-pointing, step-stare and whiskbroom modes.
