Senior Radar & Sensor Analytics Data Scientist

Fortem Technologies, Inc.; Lindon (UT); On-site; USD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

Fortem Technologies is seeking a Senior Data Scientist to turn raw radar returns into actionable intelligence.

You will initially focus on classifying objects detected by Fortem’s TrueView radar systems — including drones, birds, aircraft, and other airspace traffic — and then expand your work to incorporate drone telemetry and additional sensor data as Fortem’s classification capabilities grow across the SkyDome Family of Systems.

Qualifications

• Master’s or PhD in CS, DS, EE, Stats, or related field, or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years applying ML to real-world sensor/time-series data.
• Strong Python proficiency with ML libraries (NumPy, pandas, scikit-learn, PyTorch, or TensorFlow).
• Experience with radar or raw sensor data.

Responsibilities

• Develop and deploy machine learning models to classify objects detected by Fortem’s TrueView radar systems (e.g., drones, birds, aircraft, clutter).
• Analyze large volumes of radar returns and track data to identify features that improve detection and classification accuracy.
• Collaborate with radar and FPGA engineering teams to understand signal processing pipelines and identify opportunities for data-driven improvements.
• Build data pipelines and labeling workflows to curate and maintain high-quality training datasets.
• Extend classification capabilities to additional sensor modalities and drone telemetry data over time.
• Evaluate model performance in production, monitor for drift, and iterate on models and features.
• Communicate findings, tradeoffs, and recommendations to engineering and product stakeholders.
• Other related duties and tasks as assigned by engineering leadership.
