Position Overview

As a Senior Remote Sensing Software Engineer, you will architect advanced SDA and remote sensing exploitation pipelines, guide technical direction, and lead multi-disciplinary teams building high-fidelity space observation analytics. You will shape next‑generation tools that integrate imaging physics, ML-based behavior inference, and multi‑sensor fusion.

You’ll join a collaborative technical delivery team where you’ll contribute to secure, reliable, user‑centric tools that accelerate mission outcomes.

• Architect end‑to‑end remote sensing processing systems for EO/IR missions
• Lead development of radiometric and spectral response models
• Oversee advanced imaging algorithms including multi-frame super-resolution, deconvolution, target phenomenology detection, and low‑SNR enhancement
• Direct ML‑based anomaly detection, behavior classification, and object discrimination frameworks
• Design multi‑sensor fusion pipelines integrating GEOINT, Radar, RF, and optical data using Bayesian or ML‑based methods
• Lead trajectory estimation and 3D kinematic modeling, including IOD, parallax exploitation, and uncertainty quantification
• Architect scalable scientific computing solutions using Python, C++, CUDA, HPC clusters, or cloud‑native platforms
• Mentor junior engineers and help set technical road maps in collaboration with client and mission leadership

Required Skills

• 8+ years of experience in remote sensing, image/signal processing, or GEOINT data exploitation
• Experience with orbital mechanics, satellite characterization, Domain‑specific applications or SDA operational workflows
• Experience with Python, scientific Python packages or other Object‑oriented programming languages such as C++ or JavaScript
• Experience architecting with large‑scale software environments (such as CUDA, HPC or cloud)
• Experience with ML systems for imagery processing, target detection, tracking, or object classification
• Bachelor’s degree in related STEM field
• TS/SCI clearance, and willingness to take a polygraph

Desired Skills

• Experience with remote sensing systems in support of missile warning/tracking missions
• Experience with building/training synthetic models for simulation‑aided training
• Experience integrating EO/IR, RF, Radar, or GEOINT tracks into fused solutions
• Record of publications, whitepapers, presentations or mission briefings
• Experience with uncertainty quantification, Kalman filtering, or tracking algorithms
• Experience with AI‑augmented development workflows or agentic tools
• Master’s degree or Ph.D. in Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Software Engineering or related field
