  • 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

Join us. The world can’t wait. 

You Have:  

  • 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 administration of continuous integration/continuous deployment (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

Nice If You Have:  

  • Experience with remote sensing systems in support of missile warning or tracking missions
  • Experience with building or training synthetic models for simulation‑aided training
  • Experience integrating EO/IR, RF, Radar, or GEOINT tracks into fused solutions
  • Experience with uncertainty quantification, Kalman filtering, or tracking algorithms
  • Experience with AI‑augmented development workflows or agentic tools
  • Ability to display a record of publications, whitepapers, presentations or mission briefings
  • Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Physics, Mathematics or related field preferred; Doctorate degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Physics, Mathematics or related field a plus
