Senior Numerical Algorithm Software Engineer

Responsibilities

• Lead the research, development, and maturation of advanced numerical algorithms for remote sensing data exploitation across multi-modal sensor systems (e.g., EO/IR, SAR, RF)
• Design, implement, and optimize high-performance algorithms in Python and C++, with a focus on scalability, efficiency, and operational robustness in mission environments
• Architect and develop end-to-end signal processing, image processing, and data exploitation pipelines from prototype through production deployment
• Advance modeling, simulation, and machine learning toolchains, including development of reusable frameworks and infrastructure to support algorithm evaluation and integration
• Define and execute quantitative performance assessments of algorithms and sensor systems, including error characterization, sensitivity analysis, and validation against real-world data
• Collaborate cross-functionally with software engineers, system architects, and mission stakeholders to integrate algorithms into operational systems and ensure mission alignment
• Provide technical leadership within Agile development teams, including mentoring junior engineers, driving best practices, and contributing to shared codebases and tools
• Support proposal efforts, technical roadmaps, and customer engagements by articulating algorithmic approaches and differentiators
• Ensure compliance with mission assurance, security, and software quality standards applicable to DoD environments

Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Applied Mathematics, Physics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical field
• 8+ years of experience developing numerical algorithms for signal processing, image processing, or sensor data exploitation (or 6+ years with a Master's, 4+ with a PhD)
• Demonstrated expertise in developing and implementing algorithms in Python and C++
• Strong foundation in numerical methods, linear algebra, probability/statistics, and optimization techniques
• Experience working with real-world sensor data (e.g., EO/IR, SAR, RF, or multi-modal systems)
• Proven ability to evaluate algorithm performance, including error analysis, validation, and benchmarking
• Experience working in Linux-based development environments and modern software development practices (version control, testing, CI/CD)
• Ability to work effectively in Agile or iterative development environments
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including ability to convey complex technical concepts to diverse stakeholders
• U.S. Citizenship with ability to obtain and maintain a DoD security clearance (active clearance preferred)

Qualifications
