Remote Sensing Software Engineer, Senior

The Opportunity As a Senior Remote Sensing Software Engineer, you will architect advanced SDA and remote 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-end remote sensing processing systems for EO/IR missions Lead development 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-based methods 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 of experience in remote sensing, image or signal processing, or GEOINT data exploitation Experience with orbital mechanics, satellite characterization, Domain-specific applications or SDA operational workflows Experience with Python, scientific Python packages or other Object-oriented programming languages such as C++ or JavaScript Experience architecting with large-scale software environments such as CUDA, HPC or cloud Experience with ML systems for imagery processing, target detection, tracking, or object classification Experience with administration of continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines using Kubernetes, Docker, or Jenkins Active TS/SCI clearance; willingness to take a polygraph exam Bachelor's degree in a STEM field Nice If You Have: Experience with remote 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-augmented development 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 or related field preferred; Doctorate degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Physics, Mathematics or related 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.
