TL;DR · Senior Algorithm Engineer, Tracking Systems

Senior Algorithm Engineer, Tracking Systems joins the Air & Missile Defense Radar team to develop sophisticated tracking algorithms and software systems for detecting and characterizing airborne threats in real-time. The role involves designing multi-target tracking, track fusion, and discrimination techniques while building high-performance distributed systems to process radar sensor data. Key responsibilities include developing modeling and simulation environments to validate performance, optimizing code for performance-critical environments, and collaborating with engineers to integrate solutions into end-to-end defense systems. The position requires proficiency in C++ and Python, along with a strong foundation in linear algebra, probability, statistics, and differential equations. Candidates should possess experience in estimation theory, signal processing, and high-performance computing techniques like multithreading or GPU acceleration. This role addresses the critical technical challenge of maintaining tracks on hundreds of simultaneous targets within millisecond constraints for mission-critical operations.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement advanced tracking algorithms for multi-target detection, track fusion, and discrimination.
  • Develop high-performance, real-time software systems to process radar sensor data and maintain hundreds of simultaneous tracks.
  • Build and utilize 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 in coordination 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.
  • 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.
