Job Details
Job Summary
GA-CCRi maintains and deploys production systems for users across the Intelligence Community, Department of Defense, and commercial industry. We build and develop best-in-class all domain and globally focused situational awareness capabilities, including THRESHER and DRAGONSPELL, that process petabytes of data from numerous streaming data sources in near real time. Our systems apply state-of-the-art algorithms and machine learning techniques to extract features and fuse data from multiple phenomenologies to form a rich live view of objects in the sky, on the sea, and on the ground. These analytics are designed to determine not just where something is, but what it is, where it's been and what it's doing. We're dedicated to transforming data into actionable insights through innovative system engineering approaches. We always want to do more, and that's where you come in!
GA-CCRi is looking for a Systems Engineer to join our federal team, contributing to the design and development of scalable, high-performance systems that leverage advanced modeling methodologies. Systems Modeling Language (SysML) functional models are used to employ solutions that orchestrate engagement control via System of Systems (SoS) architectures. Engineering solutions are tested, demonstrated, and assessed by subject matter experts followed by solution transitioning.
