Job description
At Booz Allen, you'll join a team using advanced imaging, physics-based modeling, and AI / ML to solve some of the nation's most compelling Space Domain Awareness ( SDA ) and remote sensing challenges. You'll contribute to the design and develop ment of high-fidelity processing pipelines that transform raw sensor data into insight.
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:
- Develop sof tware tools for radio met ric modeling and satellite observation geo met ry
- Implement imaging and signal processing workflows including motion compe nsa tion, multi-frame alignment, and super-resolution
- Build ML enabled detection, anomaly identification, and object classification modules using operational EO / IR and synthetic datasets
- Design scientific Python pipelines, such as NumPy, OpenCV, Astropy, or SciPy, for real time and batch processing
- Support orbital modeling tasks, such as SGP4, TLE ingestion, or basic pose estimation
- Conduct imagery preprocessing such as radio met ric calibration, artifact correction, and multi-frame filtering
- Maintain reproducible environments using GitLab, containers, and experiment-tracking tools
- Collaborate with astrodynamics SMEs, operations personnel, and ML engineers to deliver integrated mission capabilities
Requirements
- 4+ years of experience with remote sensing, image processing, or GEOINT data exploitation
- Experience designing, modifying, develop ing, writing, and implementing sof tware programming applications using agile met hods
- Experience with Python and scientific Python packages such as NumPy, SciPy, OpenCV, or xarray
- Experience with basic orbital mechanics
- Experience with ML frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow
- Experience with large sensor datasets such as HDF5 or cloud object storage
- Active TS/SCI clearance; willingness to take a polygraph exam
- Bachelor's degree in a STEM field
Nice If You Have:
- Experience with administration of continuous integration / continuous deployment ( CI / CD ) pipelines using Kubernetes, Docker, or Jenkins
- Experience with sensor phenomenology, radio met ric calibration, or remote sensing interpretation
- Experience with super-resolution, deblurring, spectral exploitation, or resolved feature extraction
- Experience with uncertainty quantification, Kalman filtering, or tracking algorithms
- Experience with AI augmented develop ment workflows or agentic tools
- Experience with GitLab based CI / CD workflows
- Master's degree in an engineering field, or Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related STEM field
