Senior Remote Sensing Software Engineer

Jobtailor; Dayton (OH); On-site; USD 140,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

Jobtailor in Dayton, OH seeks an experienced senior engineer to architect EO/IR remote sensing systems and lead ML-driven anomaly detection and multi-sensor fusion projects.

The role requires 8+ years in GEOINT or related fields, strong Python/C++/CUDA skills, and experience with CI/CD pipelines in Kubernetes/Docker environments. A TS/SCI clearance is preferred.

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 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.
• Experience with administration of CI/CD pipelines using Kubernetes, Docker, or Jenkins.
• Active TS/SCI clearance; willingness to take a polygraph exam.
• Bachelor’s degree in a STEM field.

Responsibilities

• Architect end-to-end remote sensing processing systems for EO / IR missions.
• Lead development of radio metric 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.
