• Develop and implement deep learning computer vision models, with a focus on sensor fusion and target tracking
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to design, develop, test, and deploy technical solutions in Python or C++
• Utilize GPU programming, including CUDA or RAPIds, to optimize the performance of computer vision applications
• Contribute to the architecture and implementation of novel single and multi-sensor detection and tracking and fusion of targets

Education Requirements

BS in Computer Science, Electrical/Computer Engineering, AI/ML, Physics, Mathematics or another related field

Experience Requirements

• 3+ years of experience developing computer vision algorithms for detection, tracking, or multi‑sensor fusion in remote sensing or GEOINT‑relevant environments
• 2+ years of experience applying deep learning to computer vision problems using transformer‑based or self‑supervised architectures
• Experience implementing model pipelines in Python or C++, including training, evaluation, and deployment workflows
• Knowledge of GPU‑accelerated development using CUDA, RAPIDS, or other GPU programming frameworks
• Knowledge of classical tracking or estimation methods (such as Kalman or extended filters) to support real‑time algorithm development
• Knowledge of Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs), Physics-constrained loss functions
• Ability to design, test, and optimize algorithms for operational performance in constrained computing environments (i.e., multi‑GPU servers or cloud)

Special Skills Desired

• Experience with GPU‑accelerated deep learning, including CUDA kernel development, TensorRT optimization, RAPIDS, or distributed multi‑GPU training
• Experience developing synthetic data, kinematic target models, or scenario simulation tools to support algorithm training or evaluation
• Experience with advanced estimation, tracking, and fusion techniques (such as joint multi‑sensor registration, Bayesian fusion, particle filters, deep multi‑object tracking pipelines, etc.)
• Knowledge of geospatial data formats, sensor phenomenology, or remote‑sensing exploitation workflows
• Experience with MLOps or scalable deployment systems (Docker, Kubernetes, ONNX Runtime, Triton Inference Server, or similar)
• Experience building or optimizing microservice architecture or distributed systems for real‑time data processing
• Experience integrating CV models into edge, embedded, or latency‑constrained operational environments
• Familiarity with transformer‑based vision architectures beyond DINO/CLIP/SAM (such as: ViT variants, self‑supervised multi‑modal encoders)
• Experience with cloud ML platforms (such as: AWS GovCloud, Azure ML, on-prem GPU clusters)
