Senior Remote Sensing Software Engineer (OPIR)

Altamira Technologies Corporation; Fairborn (OH); On-site; USD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

Altamira Technologies Corporation in the Dayton, Ohio area seeks a Senior Remote Sensing Software Engineer with OPIR experience to architect SDA pipelines and lead teams delivering high-fidelity space observation analytics.

You will design end-to-end remote sensing processing systems for EO/IR missions, guide ML-based anomaly detection and multi-sensor fusion, and mentor junior engineers while shaping technical roadmaps with clients and mission leadership.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in remote sensing, image/signal processing, or GEOINT data exploitation.
• Experience with orbital mechanics, 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.

Responsibilities

• 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.
