• Active U.S. security clearance is required.
• Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
• 8+ years of experience designing, implementing, and testing signal processing algorithms for EO/IR sensors or similar sensing modalities in aerospace or defense systems.
• Proven expertise in EO/IR sensor phenomenology including noise characteristics, detection theory, SNR analysis, resolution limits, and environmental effects.
• Strong proficiency with signal processing techniques including detection algorithms, filtering, and measurement generation from sensor data.
• Proficiency in algorithm development and coding with demonstrated experience transitioning algorithms to production environments.
• Experience with modeling, simulation, and testing workflows including physics-based modeling, Monte Carlo analysis, or hardware-in-the-loop environments.
• Demonstrated technical leadership experience with the ability to mentor engineers and drive technical direction.
• Ability to work collaboratively with software engineers, systems engineers, and test teams to integrate algorithms into operational systems.

Responsabilidades

• Lead the development of discrimination algorithms for EO/IR sensors that classify and distinguish threats from decoys, debris, and clutter in real-time environments.
• Design and implement signal processing pipelines including detection algorithms, feature extraction, image processing, and measurement generation from sensor data.
• Develop and integrate advanced decision logic to enhance classification performance and adapt to evolving threat environments.
• Analyze and optimize algorithms for EO/IR sensor phenomenology including noise, SNR, resolution limits, and environmental effects.
• Build physics-based models and conduct modeling and simulation including Monte Carlo analysis and hardware-in-the-loop testing to validate discrimination performance.
• Develop analysis tools to characterize discrimination algorithm performance under countermeasures, clutter, and degraded sensing environments.
• Collaborate with software engineers to transition discrimination algorithms from prototypes to production code.
• Mentor engineers and provide technical leadership on signal processing approaches and best practices.
• Engage with customers and stakeholders to understand mission needs, present discrimination solutions, and demonstrate system performance.
