TL;DR · Algorithm Engineer, Tracking Systems

As an Algorithm Engineer, Tracking Systems on the Air & Missile Defense Radar team, you will design and implement advanced tracking algorithms for novel air and missile threats. You will develop high-performance, real-time software systems to process radar sensor data and maintain tracks on hundreds of simultaneous targets while building modeling and simulation environments to validate performance. The role requires proficiency in C++ and Python, alongside a strong foundation in linear algebra, probability, statistics, and differential equations. Ideal candidates possess experience with Kalman filters, particle filters, multiple hypothesis tracking, and digital signal processing. You will also utilize tools like MATLAB or Simulink and may work with SQL, NoSQL, and various machine learning techniques for data association. This role solves critical problems in detecting and characterizing airborne threats to protect lives and assets in mission-critical defense environments.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement advanced tracking algorithms for multi-target detection and discrimination.
  • Develop high-performance software systems to process radar sensor data in real-time.
  • Build modeling and simulation environments to validate performance and identify system improvements.
  • Optimize tracking software for performance-critical environments where millisecond latency is critical.
  • Integrate tracking solutions into end-to-end defense systems with hardware engineers and architects.
  • Communicate technical concepts and trade-offs to cross-functional teams and customers.
  • Participate in customer demonstrations and field tests to ensure operational effectiveness.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or a related technical field.
  • At least 2 years of relevant experience in the field.
  • Strong programming skills in C++ and Python.
  • Solid foundation in linear algebra, probability, statistics, and/or differential equations.
  • Understanding of software engineering fundamentals including design patterns, testing, version control, and debugging.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Top Secret SCI security clearance.
