TL;DR · Scientific Software Engineer

JOB TITLE: Scientific Software Engineer The Scientific Software Engineer joins the Air & Missile Defense Radar team to develop tracking algorithms and software systems that detect and characterize airborne threats in real-time. You will design and implement advanced tracking solutions, including multi-target tracking, track fusion, and discrimination techniques. Day-to-day responsibilities involve developing high-performance software to process radar sensor data, building modeling and simulation environments to validate performance, and optimizing code for performance-critical environments. The role requires proficiency in C++ and Python, along with a strong foundation in linear algebra, probability, statistics, and differential equations. You will also utilize software engineering fundamentals like design patterns and version control. This work addresses the technical challenge of processing massive amounts of sensor data in milliseconds to maintain tracks on hundreds of simultaneous targets.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement advanced tracking algorithms for multi-target tracking, track fusion, and discrimination.
  • Develop high-performance, real-time software systems to process radar sensor data for hundreds of simultaneous targets.
  • Build and leverage modeling and simulation environments to validate tracking performance and quantify system capabilities.
  • Optimize tracking software for performance-critical environments where millisecond latency is critical.
  • Communicate technical concepts and trade-offs to cross-functional teams, leadership, and customers.
  • Participate in customer demonstrations and field tests to ensure successful deployment and operational effectiveness.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or a related technical field (or equivalent experience).
  • 2 years of relevant experience.
  • 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.
  • Experience with tracking, estimation, or filtering algorithms (preferred).
  • Background in controls, estimation theory, or digital signal processing (preferred).
