Full Job Description
About the Team: The Maritime Domain Awareness Group (MDA) develops and delivers advanced signal processing algorithms and techniques for airborne radar and passive optical systems. MDA fosters a culture of innovation, collaboration, and execution. We develop and analyze cutting edge algorithms for detection and exploitation of signals in high clutter and noise environments using both classical, physics-based approaches, and big data-driven artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) techniques. If you are seeking an opportunity to apply your deep technical knowledge and creativity in a fast-paced, challenging environment to make a lasting impact, we invite you to join us. The Role: We are looking for a Senior Scientist to develop state-of-the-art algorithms and techniques for airborne passive optical systems for the purpose of detection and exploitation of targets with low signal to noise ratios. You will apply first principles of physics to model and simulate realistic environments to develop a deep understanding of clutter environments and then apply that knowledge to develop all relevant components of the signal processing chain from the raw sensor data to the target classification. What you will do: Work closely with program leadership to spearhead efforts that align with program and company priorities Conceive, prototype, test, and mature image processing algorithms for critical national security missions Document and present products to a community of scientists and subject matter experts Who You Are: Ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance, for which U. S. citizenship is needed by U. S. Government BA, or MS in Physics, Applied Mathematics, Electrical Engineering, or related technical discipline 3-5+ years of relevant work experience Expertise in two or more of the following areas: Signal processing, Fourier analysis, linear estimation, optimization, adaptive signal processing, AI/ML algorithm development, algorithm development, modeli
