TL;DR · Senior Remote Sensing Software Engineer

As a Remote Sensing Software Engineer, Senior, you will join a collaborative technical delivery team to architect advanced SDA and remote sensing exploitation pipelines. You will lead multi-disciplinary teams in building high-fidelity space observation analytics, specifically focusing on infrared remote sensing missions. Your daily responsibilities include developing radiometric and spectral response models, overseeing imaging algorithms like super-resolution and deconvolution, and directing machine learning frameworks for anomaly detection and behavior classification. You will design multi-sensor fusion pipelines integrating GEOINT, Radar, RF, and optical data while managing trajectory estimation and 3D kinematic modeling. To achieve these goals, you will utilize Python, C++, CUDA, HPC clusters, or cloud-native platforms. The role addresses complex technical challenges in orbital mechanics, satellite characterization, and the integration of diverse sensor tracks into unified solutions for mission success.

What you'll do

  • Architect end-to-end remote sensing processing systems for infrared missions.
  • Lead the development of radiometric and spectral response models.
  • Oversee advanced imaging algorithms including super-resolution, deconvolution, and low-SNR enhancement.
  • Direct machine learning frameworks for anomaly detection, behavior classification, and object discrimination.
  • Design multi-sensor fusion pipelines integrating GEOINT, Radar, RF, and optical data.
  • Lead trajectory estimation and 3D kinematic modeling including parallax exploitation and uncertainty quantification.
  • Architect scalable scientific computing solutions using Python, C++, CUDA, or cloud platforms.
  • Mentor junior engineers and establish technical roadmaps for mission leadership.

What we're looking for

  • 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 like C++ or JavaScript.
  • Experience architecting with large-scale software environments such as CUDA, HPC, or cloud platforms.
  • Experience with ML systems for imagery processing, target detection, tracking, or object classification.
  • Active TS/SCI clearance and willingness to take a polygraph exam.
  • Bachelor’s degree in a STEM field.
  • Master's or Doctorate degree in Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (preferred).
