The Opportunity You will architect advanced OPIR and remote sensing exploitation pipelines, guide technical direction, and lead multi-disciplinary teams building high-fidelity space observation analytics. You will shape next‑generation tools that integrate imaging physics, ML-based behavior inference, and multi‑sensor fusion. You'll join a collaborative technical delivery team where you'll contribute to secure, reliable, user‑centric tools that accelerate mission outcomes.
You Will:
- Architect end‑to‑end remote sensing processing systems for infrared remote sensing missions
- Lead development of radiometric and spectral response models
- Oversee advanced imaging algorithms including multi-frame super-resolution, deconvolution, target phenomenology detection, and low-SNR enhancement
- Direct ML‑based anomaly detection, behavior classification, and object discrimination frameworks
- Design multi-sensor fusion pipelines integrating OPIR plus other remote sensing data using Bayesian or ML-based methods
- Lead trajectory estimation and 3D kinematic modeling, including IOD, parallax exploitation, and uncertainty quantification
- Architect scalable scientific computing solutions using Python, C++, CUDA, HPC clusters, or cloud-native platforms
- Mentor junior engineers and help set technical road maps in collaboration with client and mission leadership
You Have:
- 8+ years of experience in remote sensing, image/signal processing, or GEOINT data exploitation
- Experience with orbital mechanics, satellite characterization, Domain-specific applications or SDA operational workflows
- Experience with Python, scientific Python packages or other Object-oriented programming languages such as C++ or JavaScript
- Experience architecting with large-scale software environments (such as CUDA, HPC or cloud)
- Experience with ML systems for imagery processing, target detection, tracking, or object classification
- Bachelor's degree in related STEM field
- TS/SCI clearance, and willingness to take a polygraph
Nice If You Have:
- Experience with remote sensing systems in support of missile warning/tracking missions
- Experience with building/training synthetic models for simulation‑aided training
- Experience integrating OPIR, EO/IR, RF, Radar, or GEOINT tracks into fused solutions
- Record of publications, whitepapers, presentations or mission briefings
- Experience with uncertainty quantification, Kalman filtering, or tracking algorithms
- Experience with AI‑augmented development workflows or agentic tools
- Master's degree or Ph.
D. in Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Software Engineering or related field
