Remote Sensing Software Engineer, Senior

The Opportunity

As a SeniorRemote SensingSoftware Engineer, you will architect advanced SDA andremote sensing exploitation pipelines, guide technical direction, and lead multi-disciplinary teams building high-fidelity space observation analytics. You will shape next‑generation tools that integrate imaging physics, ML-based behavior inference, and multi‑sensor fusion.

You’ll join a collaborative technical delivery team where you’ll contribute to secure, reliable, user‑centric tools that accelerate mission outcomes.

What You'll Do:

• Architect end‑to‑endremote sensing processing systems for EO/IR missions
• Leaddevelopment of radiometric and spectral response models
• Oversee advanced imaging algorithms including multi-frame super-resolution, deconvolution, target phenomenology detection, and low-SNR enhancement
• Direct ML‑based anomaly detection, behavior classification, and object discrimination frameworks
• Design multi-sensor fusion pipelines integrating GEOINT, Radar, RF, and optical data using Bayesian or ML-basedmethods
• Lead trajectory estimation and 3D kinematic modeling, including IOD, parallax exploitation, and uncertainty quantification
• Architect scalable scientific computing solutions using Python, C++, CUDA, HPC clusters, or cloud-native platforms
• Mentor junior engineers and help set technical road maps in collaboration with client and mission leadership

Join us. The world can’t wait. 

You Have:  

• 8+ years ofexperience inremote sensing, image or signal processing, or GEOINT data exploitation

• Bachelor’s degree in a STEM field

Nice If You Have:  

• Experience withremote sensing systems in support of missile warning or tracking missions
• Experience with building or training synthetic models for simulation‑aided training
• Experience integrating EO/IR, RF, Radar, or GEOINT tracks into fused solutions
• Experience with uncertainty quantification, Kalman filtering, or tracking algorithms
• Experience with AI‑augmenteddevelopment workflows or agentic tools
• Ability to display a record of publications, whitepapers, presentations or mission briefings
• Master’s degree in Computer Science,Software Engineering, Physics, Mathematics orrelated field preferred;Doctorate degree in Computer Science,Software Engineering, Physics, Mathematics orrelated field a plus

Clearance:
Applicants selected will be subject to a security investigation and may need to meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information;TS/SCI clearance is required.
