Are you interested in researching, developing, and analyzing innovative ways to produce impactful information from many different types of sensors and sources of data?
Would you like to advance your ideas from concept to prototype to field testing on US military ships, aircraft, satellites, and ground systems?
Would you take pride in developing advanced capabilities that will be used by US military personnel to achieve their missions in Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Targeting?
If so, and if you are graduating with a Doctorate degree in a technical field, we'd love to have you join our team at APL!
We are seeking creative engineers, scientists, mathematicians, and programmers to help us conceptualize, develop, test, assess, and field the next generation of ISRT and Counter-ISRT capabilities for the US military. Our team applies diverse disciplines such as sensor and data fusion, signal and image processing, operations research, applied physics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to build systems that automatically or autonomously orchestrate sensors, process data into information, and make intelligent inferences and predictions about complex threats and environments. Our work enables the US military to neutralize a wider variety of serious threats from safer distances than they could otherwise accomplish; improves the safety, survivability, and effectiveness of US air, naval, and ground forces; and disrupts the ability of potential adversaries to threaten our forces.
As a Senior Engineer / Analyst for ISRT Scientific Applications,
- Your primary responsibility will be to lead and contribute to teams developing algorithms, mathematical-physical models, software prototypes, and deployable software applications for ISRT applications.
- You will lead and contribute to teams developing new signal processing, image processing, multi-sensor data fusion, and multi-sensor resource optimization techniques.
- You will lead and contribute to teams developing new modeling, simulation, and analytical methods and tools.
- You will lead and contribute to teams developing and analyzing new ISRT concepts and architectures.
- You will lead and contribute to field tests and experiments, including planning, execution, and data analysis.
- You will document and present your and the team’s results to project leads, sponsors, and technical workshops and conferences.
