Job Description
Algorithm & Analysis Engineer (Mid Level) - SEAL - Open Rank Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) tuition reimbursement United States, Georgia, Smyrna Jun 03, 2026
GTRI's renowned researchers combine science, engineering, economics, policy, and technical expertise to solve complex problems for the U.S. federal government, state, and industry. Georgia Tech's Mission and Values Georgia Tech's mission is to develop leaders who advance technology and improve the human condition. The Institute has nine key values that are foundational to everything we do: 1. Students are our top priority. 2. We strive for excellence. 3. We thrive on diversity. 4. We celebrate collaboration. 5. We champion innovation. 6. We safeguard freedom of inquiry and expression. 7. We nurture the wellbeing of our community. 8. We act ethically. 9. We are responsible stewards. Over the next decade, Georgia Tech will become an example of inclusive innovation, a leading technological research university of unmatched scale, relentlessly committed to serving the public good; breaking new ground in addressing the biggest local, national, and global challenges and opportunities of our time; making technology broadly accessible; and developing exceptional, principled leaders from all backgrounds ready to produce novel ideas and create solutions with real human impact. Location Smyrna, GA (Metro Atlanta) Project/Unit Description The Sensors and Electromagnetic Applications Laboratory (SEAL) at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) is seeking engineers and scientists with expertise in aerospace applications. The role involves applying advanced algorithms to address complex challenges in orbital mechanics, spacecraft reachability, and guidance, navigation, and control (GNC). Candidates should have a strong background in aerospace dynamics, sensor fusion, and optimal control, with a focus on designing, analyzing, optimizing, and implementing algorithms for Space Domain Awareness (SDA). This position bridges the gap between theoretical algorithm development and practical application, emphasizing experimentation, software/hardware integration, and system performance evaluation. Job Purpose The Algorithm & Analysis Engineer is responsible for the development and support of state-of-the-art algorithms involving data fusion, sensor fusion, machine learning, manned/unmanned avionics improvement programs, and genetic programming. The Algorithm & Analysis Engineer focuses on the design, analysis, software/hardware implementation, optimization, profiling, and experimental evaluation of computer algorithms, bridging the gap between algorithm theory and practical applications of algorithms in software engineering. Additionally, the Algorithm & Analysis Engineer conducts statistical analysis of multi-modal and time-varying data to characterize and quantify system qualities and deficiencies, resulting in recommendations and development of improvements. Key Responsibilities Perform data cleaning and fundamental data analysis, with guidance only as needed, generating new tools with significant reusability Design and execute algorithm tests with limited oversight Serve in a leading role in algorithm design discussions for defined portions of programs Design larger portions of algorithms and testing with minimal oversight Lead sections of technical report execution Lead discussions with sponsors for large portions of research Work with independence at sponsor sites under guidance of technical leads Materially contribute to discussions for technical journal articles and conference presentations Conduct literature searches related to research focus areas Mentor student researchers and facilitate their technical development and tasking Additional Responsibilities Develop cutting-edge algorithms for orbital maneuvering, trajectory optimization, reachability analysis, and sensor fusion. Evaluate the performance of spacecraft systems (MDA, USSF) and quantify capabilities in aerospace dynamics. Prepare insightful technical assessments for sponsor engagements, presenting system design improvements and performance analysis. Contribute to advancements in Space Domain Awareness (SDA), through thought leadership. Serve in an advisory capacity, offering subject-matter expertise to Government programs. Required Minimum Qualifications • Significant experience in aerospace applications, with a focus on orbital mechanics and aerospace dynamics. • Experience in tracking and algorithm development for space systems. Preferred Qualifications Active Secret Clearance Broad knowledge of radar systems and Space Domain Awareness. Experience analyzing complex test data sets and developing insightful assessments for Government program managers. Travel Requirements
