Algorithm Engineer

Overview Apogee Research is at the forefront of a revolution in how the DoD operates: a turn toward compositional systems of systems instead of traditional monolithic architectures. This change is driven by a need for faster adaptation to adversarial environments, requiring the ability to field resilient, distributed systems in days to weeks rather than months to years. To create composable systems that operate resiliently at scale in contested and resource‑constrained environments, we combine custom software toolchains with feedback control to dynamically adjust to ever‑changing environments. Role and Responsibilities We currently have openings for algorithm engineers to design, implement, and validate new algorithms across multiple domains including networking, distributed data fusion and resource management, distributed electronic warfare, and distributed Command and Control (C2). The role involves applying probability and statistics, controlling nonlinear systems, and demonstrating knowledge of open‑loop and close‑loop stability through analysis, simulation, and experimentation. Qualifications Qualified candidates should have a mix of academic theory and real‑world application of relevant algorithms, combined with a track record of applying research techniques to real‑world problems. This is not an entry‑level position; real‑world experience is required. While software development is not the primary focus, some software development experience is strongly preferred. Existing DoD Top Secret clearance is strongly preferred; otherwise all candidates must be eligible to obtain one and therefore must be a US citizen to apply. Location The position is located in our Arlington, VA office. Benefits Apogee Research offers a comprehensive benefits package that includes health, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance, FSAs, paid vacation, sick leave, and paid holidays. The office is conveniently located in Arlington, VA, a short walking distance from the Ballston Metro station. We offer the choice of paid garage parking or a contribution toward a transit account.
