We’re seeking a Sensor Systems Lead / Architect to design and operationalize complex, defense-grade sensor networks for Honeycomb, our on-premise real-time IoT and analytics platform.

You will architect sensor intelligence pipelines, ensuring data integrity from physical acquisition to edge analytics and AI — working across hardware, embedded, and data teams to deliver reliable sensing architectures for harsh environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect end-to-end sensor data pipelines — acquisition, conditioning, synchronization, fusion, and edge transmission.
• Define integration frameworks and hardware abstraction layers for Honeycomb Edge/Core.
• Lead sensor selection, validation, and qualification for industrial, mobility, and defense domains.
• Design and manage multi-sensor networks (IMU, vibration, acoustic, visual, environmental, positional).
• Oversee signal conditioning, calibration, and diagnostics for deterministic performance.
• Implement standards for time sync (PTP/NTP/GPS) and data fidelity across distributed systems.
• Collaborate with embedded and AI teams to optimize preprocessing, compression, and fusion algorithms.
• Work with vendors on custom sensor modules and rugged enclosures.
• Ensure EMC compliance, ruggedization, and operational qualification in field environments.
• Lead architecture reviews, documentation, and mentor teams on integration practices.
• Contribute to roadmaps for sensor intelligence (predictive calibration, self-diagnostics).

Requirements

Technical Expertise

• 5+ years designing and deploying sensor systems in industrial, defense, or high-reliability environments.
• Strong grasp of motion, pressure, temperature, flow, acoustic, optical, and environmental sensors.
• Expertise in signal processing, noise reduction, and sensor fusion (Kalman, complementary, adaptive).
• Familiarity with RS485, CAN, Modbus RTU/TCP, Ethernet, MQTT, OPC-UA.
• Experience with embedded systems (STM32, ESP32) and hardware-software co-design.
• Proven ability to build scalable, deterministic data acquisition systems.
• Bonus: AI-assisted sensing, computer vision, or autonomous sensing experience.

Leadership & Delivery

• Translate mission requirements into robust architectures.
• Lead multi-disciplinary engineering teams.
• Excellent documentation and communication skills.
• Hands-on problem solver from lab to field.
• Experience ensuring reliability at deployment scale.

Preferred Qualifications

• B.E./M.Tech/Ph.D. in Electronics, Instrumentation, Mechatronics, or Electrical Engineering.
• Prior experience in defense, aerospace, industrial IoT, or automotive sensor systems.
• Exposure to on-premise data and edge AI workflows.

Why Join Us

At Meridian Data Labs, we build platforms — not prototypes. Your work will define how data is sensed, validated, and transformed into insight across defense, energy, and industrial systems, powering next-generation edge intelligence — all without the cloud.
