Senior Software Engineer, Estimation & Filtering

Highlights

• Prototype and deploy tracking algorithms for real-world defense missions.
• Build real-time estimators turning noisy sensor data into actionable insights.
• Power Lattice OS fusing thousands of streams into live 3D command view.

Ideal candidate

Mission-driven estimation expert who thrives in small agile teams and cares about deploying real-world autonomy. You translate ambiguous sensor problems into fielded defense capability and communicate clearly with operators.

Requirements

• Proficiency in algorithm design, software development, and statistical modeling with programming expertise in C/C++, Python, and Matlab.
• Strong knowledge of target tracking techniques, such as Kalman filters, particle filters, and multi-target tracking algorithms (e.g., JPDA, MHT, or PHD filters).
• Experience in state estimation, including Bayesian filtering, sensor fusion, and recursive estimation techniques.
• Solid understanding of applied mathematics, including linear algebra, optimization, probability, and stochastic processes.
• Knowledge of signal processing techniques for interpreting diverse sensor data (e.g., radar, lidar, EO/IR).
• Familiarity with big data pipelines, NoSQL databases, and the efficient handling of large-scale sensor data.
• Background in machine learning as applied to target tracking and recognition, including clustering, classification, and anomaly detection techniques.
• Ability to engineer robust systems for estimation theory, adaptive filtering, controls, and complex signal environments.
• Demonstrated ability to work across development lifecycles, from prototyping to optimizing production systems.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance.
