Senior Remote Sensing Software Architect

Booz Allen Hamilton; United States; Remote; USD 87,000 - 198,000; Full time

Job summary

Booz Allen Hamilton is seeking a Senior Remote Sensing Software Engineer to architect advanced SDA and remote sensing exploitation pipelines. You will guide technical direction, lead multi-disciplinary teams, and build high-fidelity space observation analytics.

You will work on imaging physics, ML-based behavior inference, and multi-sensor fusion, delivering secure, user-centric tools to accelerate mission outcomes. A strong background in Python/C++, CUDA, and cloud/HPC is required.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in remote sensing, image or 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 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.

Responsibilities

• Architect end‑to‑end remote sensing processing systems for infrared missions.
• Lead development of radiometric and spectral response models.
• Oversee imaging algorithms including multi-frame super-resolution, deconvolution, and low-SNR enhancement.
• Direct ML‑based anomaly detection, behavior classification, and object discrimination frameworks.
• Design multi-sensor fusion pipelines using Bayesian or ML-based methods.
• Lead trajectory estimation and 3D kinematic modeling, including uncertainty quantification.
• Architect scalable scientific computing solutions using Python, C++, CUDA, HPC clusters, or cloud-native platforms.
• Mentor junior engineers and set technical roadmaps with client and mission leadership.
