• Build and design immersive image‑viewing experiences on multiple platforms, including web‑based and mobile 3D image viewing
• Partner with end‑users to turn needs into features while balancing user experience with engineering constraints

Core Requirements

• Degree in Computer Science, Operations Research, Electrical Engineering or related technical degree
• Experience working on frontend applications, especially data‑intensive or map‑based systems
• 4+ years of professional experience using Javascript, Typescript, React.
• Broad experience in delivering functional outcomes

• Eligible to obtain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
• Must be willing to travel up to 25%.

Desired Requirements

• Strong background with focus in Physics, Mathematics, and/or Motion Planning to inform modeling & simulation (M&S) and physical systems
• Developing and testing UI/UX for multi‑agent autonomous systems and deploying in real‑world environments
