As a Senior Algorithm Developer 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, with a strong foundation in linear algebra, probability, statistics, and differential equations. Candidates should possess expertise in tracking, estimation, or filtering algorithms like Kalman filters, as well as experience with signal processing and high-performance computing. You will solve critical problems in the defense sector by creating production-grade systems that detect and characterize airborne threats in real-time to protect lives and assets.

Optimize tracking software for performance-critical environments where millisecond latency is critical.
Integrate tracking solutions into end-to-end defense systems in collaboration with engineers and architects.
Communicate technical concepts and trade-offs to cross-functional teams, leadership, and customers.
Participate in customer demonstrations and field tests to ensure operational effectiveness of deployed systems.
What we're looking for
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or a related technical field (or equivalent experience).
8 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, high-performance computing, machine learning, and database technologies (preferred).
