$190k - $252k/yr
Responsibilities
- Define and influence the direction of a small team using subject-matter expertise in target tracking and state estimation.
- Architect, maintain, and evolve complex software systems while improving performance, maintainability, and scalability.
- Prototype and deploy algorithms for tracking, multi-sensor data fusion, and state estimation.
- Develop high-performance Rust software for real-time tactical systems, simulations, and decision-support tools.
- Design robust filters, estimators, and probabilistic reasoning systems for noisy or incomplete sensor data.
- Apply software design patterns and architectural practices to guide production-system evolution and manage technical debt.
- Analyze system performance with high-fidelity simulations, modeling tools, and statistical techniques.
- Customize algorithms and software for mission-critical customer use cases such as real-time tracking and sensor fusion.
- Integrate tracking and estimation technologies across requirements definition, testing, and optimization.
- Communicate technical progress and actionable insights to colleagues and end users.
Requirements
- 8+ years of professional software engineering experience and a bachelor's degree in mathematics, physics, engineering, or another technical field; an advanced degree is strongly preferred.
- Experience managing and evolving production software architecture, including legacy-system refactoring and technical-debt management.
- At least 2+ years working on a single codebase or product while maintaining and expanding it as requirements evolved.
- Strong understanding of software design patterns, architectural principles, and maintainable, scalable system development.
- Proficiency in algorithm design, software development, and statistical modeling; experience with Rust, C/C++, Python, and Matlab is a plus.
- Understanding of linear algebra, optimization, probability, stochastic processes, and signal-processing techniques for radar, lidar, and EO/IR data.
- Familiarity with big data pipelines, NoSQL databases, and large-scale sensor-data processing.
- Experience engineering systems for estimation theory, adaptive filtering, controls, and complex signal environments.
- Ability to work across the lifecycle from prototyping through production optimization.
- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
- Preferred experience includes refactoring production Rust codebases, making architectural decisions, providing technical leadership, contributing to open-source Rust projects, and using concurrent and parallel programming patterns.
- Preferred background includes state estimation, Bayesian filtering, sensor fusion, recursive estimation, machine learning for target tracking and recognition, and Kalman, particle, JPDA, MHT, or PHD filters.
Benefits
- Comprehensive benefits package available at little to no cost to employees, including support for health and recovery.
- Highly competitive equity grants are included in the majority of full-time offers.
