Principal Embedded Software & Target Tracking Engineer (US Citizen / Remote)

Virtual Parse Technologies, LLC is an advanced defense technology small business prime contractor specializing in digital signal processing, distributed sensor fusion, and secure software architectures. We are seeking a Principal Embedded Software & Target Tracking Engineer to take direct technical custody of our multi-node target tracking architectures and simulation environments.In this role, you will autonomously model, refactor, and deploy low-latency tracking algorithms directly inside isolated, security-hardened Linux server environments. You will be responsible for moving algorithmic frameworks from conceptual architectures to production-ready software without requiring hands-on oversight., * Refactor, optimize, and maintain complex Python and C/C++ target tracking loop simulations and data fusion engines.

• Resolve spatial diversity bottlenecks and track divergence challenges in high-clutter environments.
• Implement robust state estimation models, innovation gating parameters, and spatial localization architectures.
• Conduct all software development exclusively within secure, sandboxed remote server environments adhering to strict data control protocols.

• Citizenship: Verified U.S. Citizenship is strictly required for ITAR compliance.
• Security Clearance: Active Top Secret / SCI (TS/SCI) clearance baseline strongly preferred and immediately portable.
• Mathematical Expertise: Deep, hands-on experience developing and refactoring Extended Kalman Filters (EKF) and non-linear state estimation loops.
• Algorithmic Proficiency: Verifiable history tracking multi-static sensor processing frameworks, data fusion loops, and Mahalanobis Distance innovation tracking.
• Development Hygiene: Expert mastery of Linux/Ubuntu environments, Git configuration tracking, and building secure, isolated python-based tracking software modules.
