SciTec has immediate opportunities for talented software & algorithm developers and engineers to support programs focusing on low-latency data processing, fusion, and tracking algorithms for exploitation of remote sensing systems. Our ideal candidate will work well in multiple software languages as part of a rapid pace, collaborative, small-team environment consisting of Scientists, Engineers, and Developers and be able to prototype and develop advanced algorithms leading to eventual integration in C++ on Linux operating systems as part of government frameworks.
Responsibilities- Lead the research, development, and maturation of advanced numerical algorithms for remote sensing data exploitation across multi-modal sensor systems (e.g., EO/IR, SAR, RF)
- Design, implement, and optimize high-performance algorithms in Python and C++, with a focus on scalability, efficiency, and operational robustness in mission environments
- Architect and develop end-to-end signal processing, image processing, and data exploitation pipelines from prototype through production deployment
- Advance modeling, simulation, and machine learning toolchains, including development of reusable frameworks and infrastructure to support algorithm evaluation and integration
- Define and execute quantitative performance assessments of algorithms and sensor systems, including error characterization, sensitivity analysis, and validation against real-world data
- Collaborate cross-functionally with software engineers, system architects, and mission stakeholders to integrate algorithms into operational systems and ensure mission alignment
- Provide technical leadership within Agile development teams, including mentoring junior engineers, driving best practices, and contributing to shared codebases and tools
- Support proposal efforts, technical roadmaps, and customer engagements by articulating algorithmic approaches and differentiators
- Ensure compliance with mission assurance, security, and software quality standards applicable to DoD environments
- Other duties as assigned
Requirements- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Applied Mathematics, Physics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical field
- 8+ years of experience developing numerical algorithms for signal processing, image processing, or sensor data exploitation (or 6+ years with a Master's, 4+ with a PhD)
- Demonstrated expertise in developing and implementing algorithms in Python and C++
- Strong foundation in numerical methods, linear algebra, probability/statistics, and optimization techniques
- Experience working with real-world sensor data (e.g., EO/IR, SAR, RF, or multi-modal systems)
- Proven ability to evaluate algorithm performance, including error analysis, validation, and benchmarking
- Experience working in Linux-based development environments and modern software development practices (version control, testing, CI/CD)
- Ability to work effectively in Agile or iterative development environments
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including ability to convey complex technical concepts to diverse stakeholders
- U.S. Citizenship with ability to obtain and maintain a DoD security clearance (active clearance preferred)
Candidates who have any of the following skills will be preferred
- PhD in Applied Mathematics, Physics, Electrical Engineering, or related field
- Experience with advanced signal/image processing techniques (e.g., detection, tracking, estimation, inverse problems, or computer vision)
- Familiarity with machine learning frameworks and integration of ML models into operational pipelines
- Experience optimizing algorithms for performance (e.g., parallel computing, GPU acceleration, memory optimization)
- Knowledge of DoD or Intelligence Community mission systems, especially related to remote sensing or space-based sensors
- Experience transitioning algorithms from research/prototype to production/operational environments
- Familiarity with containerization and orchestration technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes)
- Experience with modeling and simulation environments supporting sensor system development
- Prior experience leading technical efforts or mentoring junior engineers
- Active DoD security clearance
