Job description
As a Senior Remote Sensing Sof tware Engineer, you will architect advanced SDA 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.
What You'll Do:
- Architect end-to-end remote sensing processing systems for EO / IR missions
- Lead develop ment of radio met ric 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 GEOINT, Radar, RF, and optical data using Bayesian or ML-based met hods
- 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
Requirements
- 8+ years of experience in remote sensing, image or 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 sof tware environments such as CUDA, HPC or cloud
- Experience with ML systems for imagery processing, target detection, tracking, or object classification
- Experience with administration of continuous integration / continuous deployment ( CI / CD ) pipelines using Kubernetes, Docker, or Jenkins
- Active TS/SCI clearance; willingness to take a polygraph exam
- Bachelor's degree in a STEM field
Nice If You Have:
- Experience with remote sensing systems in support of missile warning or tracking missions
- Experience with building or training synthetic models for simulation-aided training
- Experience integrating EO / IR, RF, Radar, or GEOINT tracks into fused solutions
- Experience with uncertainty quantification, Kalman filtering, or tracking algorithms
- Experience with AI-augmented develop ment workflows or agentic tools
- Ability to display a record of publications, whitepapers, presentations or mission briefings
- Master's degree in Computer Science, Sof tware Engineering, Physics, Mathematics or related field preferred ; Doctorate degree in Computer Science, Sof tware Engineering, Physics, Mathematics or related field a plus
