Description

　　Are you interested in helping to develop and field the nation's next generation capabilities in ISR&T (Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance & Targeting) and counter-ISR&T?

　　Are you excited by tackling difficult, multi-faceted problems, and bringing different systems together to achieve a greater capability? If you have significant experience in ISR&T or related systems and capabilities, this is a great opportunity for you!

　　The AMDS Multi-Domain Surveillance and Tracking Branch is looking for experienced technical specialists who can help us develop improvements to today's ISR&T fusion algorithms and pave the way for next generation data fusion and target tracking developments. We believe this will include focusing on the science and researching and developing approaches for fusing dissimilar sensor data (e.g., RF & IR), ranging from raw sensor data to track fusion. The envisioned data fusion solutions will incorporate all relevant ISR&T contextual information including sensor data and other sources of intelligence. We are looking for engineers, mathematicians, physicists, and computer scientists who collectively can provide the needed experience and skills in data fusion, target tracking, machine learning, and signal processing to achieve these goals.

　　As a Sensor Data Fusion Engineer, you will...

　　You will contribute to the development of advanced data fusion and target tracking algorithms, using physics-based knowledge of various sensors and prototyping those algorithms when possibleYou will help to integrate sensor fusion with intelligent sensor control algorithms designed to provide on-demand levels of quality of service in support of targetingApply state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms to exploit as much information as possible from all data sourcesApply advanced computer science techniques to signal and image processing to enable processing at the edgeInvestigate new sensing modalities for applicability in ISR&T data fusionInteract and collaborate across the services and communities involved in multi-domain ISR to achieve breakthrough improvements in capabilityQualifications

　　You meet the minimum qualifications for this position if you have:

　　A Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering, Mathematics, Physics or Computer ScienceAt least 5 years of relevant professional work experience related to the ISR&T activities described aboveHave some domain knowledge in ISR&T architectures, data fusion, sensors, and platformsExperience with MATLAB, Python, C, C++, and/or JavaHave the ability to work effectively on technical teams to solve complex problemsExcellent communications skills, both written and verbalStrong interpersonal skillsHold an active Secret security clearance and can ultimately obtain a TS/SCI level clearance. If selected, you will be subject to a government security clearance investigation and must meet the requirements for access to classified information. Eligibility requirements include U.S. citizenship.Willingness to travel up to 10% of the time as neededYou'll go above and beyond our minimum requirements if you have:

　　An MS or PhD in Engineering, Mathematics, Physics or Computer ScienceAt least 10 years of relevant professional experience in this fieldExperience with advanced data fusion algorithms involving dissimilar sensorsDeep experience with sensor signal and image processing algorithms and processing platformsAn Active TS/SCI clearance
