    • Develop and automate correlation algorithms across multi-sensor data streams
    • Create advanced Modeling & Simulation (M&S) algorithms
    • Optimize detection and tracking solutions based on raw sensor inputs
  • Conduct scientific research to support the identification of materials from infrared (IR) spectral signatures
  • Support sensor characterization, remote sensing initiatives, and missile defense efforts
  • Engage directly with stakeholders and end-users-leading demos, gathering requirements, and delivering impactful presentations

Must-Have Experience:

  • 10+ years of software development and engineering experience using Agile methodologies
  • Proficient in Python, with additional experience in MATLAB or C++
  • Experience developing and enhancing codebases across the full SDLC
  • Proven ability to gather client requirements and automate workflows

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related engineering discipline
  • Active TS/SCI clearance with CI poly (required)

Bonus Skills:

  • Experience with containerization tools (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes)
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (Git, Jenkins, GitHub Actions)
  • Background in GEOINT (Time-Dominant and Non-Time Dominant)
  • Experience supporting organizations like NGA, NASIC, or MDA
  • Cloud engineering experience, especially within AWS
  • Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
