TL;DR · Scientific Software Engineer

As a Scientific Software Engineer on the Air & Missile Defense Radar team, you will design and implement advanced tracking algorithms for novel air and missile threats, including multi-target tracking, track fusion, and discrimination techniques. 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, along with a strong foundation in linear algebra, probability, statistics, and differential equations. You will also utilize skills in signal processing, estimation theory, and high-performance computing techniques like multithreading and GPU acceleration. This position focuses on solving critical defense problems by creating production-grade systems that detect and characterize airborne threats in real-time to protect lives and assets in mission-critical environments.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement advanced tracking algorithms for multi-target detection and discrimination.
  • Develop high-performance, real-time software systems to process radar sensor data.
  • Build modeling and simulation environments to validate performance and identify system improvements.
  • Optimize tracking software for performance-critical environments where processing speed 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 (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 (Kalman filters, particle filters, multiple hypothesis tracking, etc.) (preferred).
  • Background in controls, estimation theory, digital signal processing, radar systems, sensor fusion, or high-performance computing (preferred).
