Senior Remote Sensing Software Engineer

Salary: $86,800 - 198,000 per year Requirements:

• We need at least 8 years of experience in remote sensing, image or signal processing, or GEOINT data exploitation.
• We look for experience with orbital mechanics, satellite characterization, domain-specific applications, or SDA operational workflows.
• We require hands-on experience with Python, scientific Python libraries, or other object-oriented languages such as C++ or JavaScript.
• We expect experience designing for large-scale software environments, including CUDA, HPC, or cloud platforms.
• We value experience with machine learning systems for imagery processing, target detection, tracking, or object classification.
• We require experience administering CI/CD pipelines using Kubernetes, Docker, or Jenkins.
• An active TS/SCI clearance is required, along with willingness to complete a polygraph exam.
• A bachelors degree in a STEM field is required.
• Preferred qualifications include a masters degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or a related field; a doctorate is an added advantage.

• We will have you architect end-to-end remote sensing processing systems for EO/IR missions.
• You will lead the development of radiometric and spectral response models.
• You will oversee advanced imaging methods such as multi-frame super-resolution, deconvolution, target phenomenology detection, and low-SNR enhancement.
• You will direct ML-driven anomaly detection, behavior classification, and object discrimination frameworks.
• You will design multi-sensor fusion pipelines that integrate GEOINT, Radar, RF, and optical data using Bayesian or machine learning approaches.
• You will lead trajectory estimation and 3D kinematic modeling, including IOD, parallax exploitation, and uncertainty quantification.
• You will architect scalable scientific computing solutions using Python, C++, CUDA, HPC clusters, or cloud-native platforms.
• You will mentor junior engineers and help define technical roadmaps with client and mission leadership.
