Field Site Senior ISR Engineer / Analyst - Colorado

About the role

We are seeking a creative and expert engineer and/or quantitative analyst to lead and coordinate key elements of our cross-organizational (APL, industry, government/military) initiatives to conceptualize, develop, test, assess, and field the next generation of ISRT, Counter-ISRT or BMC2 capabilities for the US military.

Responsibilities

• Lead APL’s associated technical development and field test efforts, serving as APL’s technical liaison within a cross-organizational team consisting of industry and government partners and operators at an industry partner site in the Denver, Colorado area, at APL field sites and government sites in the Denver, Colorado area.
• Coordinate and collaborate with other APL staff and across APL sites (Laurel, Denver and other remote locations) enabling operational implementations of software and capabilities directly with government and uniformed service members at fielded locations.
• Contribute to teams developing, testing, and analyzing prototype software realizing new capabilities for ISRT applications.
• Participate in field tests and experiments, including planning, execution, and data analysis.
• Document and present results to managers, partners, sponsors, and technical workshops and conferences.
• Travel to JHU APL in Laurel, MD as needed for project and program work, averaging about once per quarter, with flexibility required based on program needs.

Requirements

• Have a Bachelor’s degree in engineering, applied mathematics, computer science, physics, or another related field.
• Have at least seven years of relevant work experience in a related technical field.
• Have expertise in some of the following areas: systems engineering, statistical analysis, data fusion, signal and image processing, mathematical optimization, pattern recognition, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.
• Have skills and experience developing scientific and engineering applications in programming languages such as MATLAB, Python, C++, and Java and in Linux environments.
• Have strong inter-personal and written communications skills, experience leading teams and complex technical efforts, can work and collaborate effectively in a team environment.
• Be willing and able to work full-time between two site locations in the Denver, Colorado area and travel occasionally to APL, government sites, and contractor facilities (local and non-local) primarily in secure, closed areas.
• Hold an active Top Secret security clearance and can ultimately obtain a TS/SCI+poly level clearance.

Qualifications

• Meet our minimum qualifications if you have a Bachelor’s degree in engineering, applied mathematics, computer science, physics, or another related field and at least seven years of relevant work experience in a related technical field.
• Go above and beyond our minimum requirements if you have a Master’s degree in engineering, applied mathematics, computer science, physics, or another related field and at least ten years of work experience in a relevant technical field.
• Have demonstrated experience with ISR processes, systems, platforms, and sensors used by the US military and intelligence community.

Benefits

Our engineers and analysts apply multi-disciplinary domain knowledge in areas such as sensor and data fusion, signal and image processing, operations research, applied physics, software fielding, and artificial intelligence to build systems that automatically or autonomously orchestrate sensors, process data into information, and make intelligent inferences and predictions about complex threats and environments. Our work enables the US military to neutralize a wider variety of serious threats from safer distances than they could otherwise accomplish; improves the safety, survivability, and effectiveness of US air, naval, and ground forces; and disrupts the ability of potential adversaries to threaten our forces.
