The Sr. Software Engineer, Full Stack (Data & Video Analysis) joins the Vehicle Analysis Tooling team to build applications essential for production, test, and flight operations. You will own the full development path, creating platforms that ingest and process high-volume engineering data like telemetry, sensor data, and video into actionable analysis. Key responsibilities include designing full-stack applications, building internal web interfaces for data visualization, and moving prototypes into production using automated tests and CI/CD. You will utilize Python, PostgreSQL, Pandas, NumPy, SciPy, PyTorch, OpenCV, and Ultralytics. The role involves deploying large language models and computer vision for anomaly detection while managing infrastructure using Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, and HPC systems to solve complex engineering problems across vehicle, propulsion, and manufacturing domains.
Design and maintain full-stack applications to process telemetry, sensor data, and video into actionable engineering analysis.
Build internal web interfaces for engineers to query, visualize, and act on large-scale engineering data.
Integrate statistical models, computer vision, and large language models into production workflows for anomaly detection.
Profile and optimize performance for data processing, database queries, and interactive views of large datasets.
Manage production infrastructure including deployments, monitoring, capacity planning, and reliability.
Operate production applications by responding to failures, restoring service, and implementing permanent software fixes.
Establish team standards for architecture, testing, CI/CD, observability, and code review practices.
Mentor other engineers and set the technical direction for software development and operations.
What we're looking for
Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, mathematics, physics, or a related scientific discipline, or 8+ years of professional software experience.
5+ years of software development experience.
3+ years of experience building and operating production applications or data systems, including full-stack development.
3+ years of experience building production Python systems for data processing, services, or user-facing application code.
Experience leading technical work, including design reviews, project direction, and code quality.
Production experience with video platforms, infrastructure, and the Python data stack (Pandas, NumPy, SciPy) and PostgreSQL (preferred).
Experience shipping applied machine learning, statistical models, or computer vision into production systems (preferred).
Must be a U.S. citizen, national, lawful permanent resident, refugee, asylee, or eligible for required Department of State authorizations.
