Qualifications

• Have a Master’s or Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, or other related field.
• Have skills and experience developing scientific and engineering applications in programming languages such as MATLAB, Python, C++, and Java and in Linux environments.
• Have strong interpersonal and written communications skills.
• Have the ability to work and collaborate effectively in a team environment.
• Have the ability to multi-task, support multiple, concurrent projects, and adapt to changing circumstances.
• Are willing and able to work a portion of the time in secure, closed areas and travel occasionally to government sites and contractor facilities (local and non-local).
• Are able to ultimately obtain a Top Secret SCI level clearance. If selected, you will be subject to a government security clearance investigation and must meet the requirements for access to classified information. Eligibility requirements include U.S. citizenship.
• You’ll go above and beyond our minimum requirements if you...
• Have at least one year of work experience, or significant internship experience, in a relevant technical field.
• Have skills and experience implementing complex mathematical techniques (such as neural networks and other machine learning approaches) in software applications.
• Have skills and experience developing software from conceptualization to fully functional applications.
• Have skills and experience with signal and image processing, data fusion, statistical analysis, mathematical optimization, pattern recognition, machine learning, and artificial intelligence techniques.
• Have domain knowledge in ISR processes, systems, platforms, and sensors used by the US military and intelligence community.
• Hold an active Secret, Top Secret, or TS/SCI-level security clearance.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to teams developing algorithms, mathematical-physical models, software prototypes, and deployable software applications for ISRT applications.
• Develop new signal processing, image processing, multi-sensor data fusion, and multi-sensor resource optimization techniques.
• Develop new modeling, simulation, and analytical methods and tools.
• Develop and analyze new ISRT concepts and architectures.
• Plan, execute and conduct data analysis for field tests and experiments.
• Collaborate with teams to develop user interfaces, visualizations, and network/web services.
• Present your results to project leads, sponsors, and technical workshops and conferences.
