Full Job Description
As a Senior Acoustic Signal Processing Engineer, you will join a fast paced and brilliant development team building the next generation of forward looking sonar systems for VATN underwater vehicles. You will be a key technical contributor to the foundational development of detection, classification, localization, and tracking (DCLT) algorithms. You will have the opportunity to test your algorithms and analysis products against realworld data often. Your core responsibilities will include: 1. Algorithm development & refinement of existing algorithms for forward looking sonar products • System Hardening: Analyze realworld data to improve robustness against complex acoustic environments. • Algorithms Improvement: Propose and implement improvements to the homing system and target management framework to increase mission reliability. Develop automated data analysis pipelines from data collect to metrics reporting • DCLT Algorithm Implementation: Develop detection, classification, localization, and tracking algorithms 2. Implementation & Edge Optimization • Edge Deployment: Translate high-level algorithms into prototypes into efficient, real-time code optimized for deployment on embedded edge-compute hardware. 3. Modeling & performance validation • Support in-water development and in-water integration testing of the homing system • Work with key stakeholders - internal and external (government) - to translate mission CONOPS and requirements to robust testing programs to validate homing performance • Develop detailed sonar equation models of active and passive acoustic devices and systems for internal/external project support. Preferred: • Prior engineering experience directly contributing to design or analysis of radar, sonar, and electronic warfare systems • Demonstrated knowledge of statistical signal processing, tracking algorithms, acoustic signal processing and machine learning • Working knowledge of machine learning techniques • Demonstrated programming experience: MATLAB, Python, C/C++ • Unix / Commandline Skills Strongly Preferred: • Secret clearance
