| Title | Stage | AI score |
|---|---|---|
| Principal / Sr. Principal Signal / Image Processing Engineer Develop and prototype new signal and image processing algorithms, including AI/ML-based approaches, for applications like pattern recognition, target detection, and tracking. Collaborate with software engineers for implementation and refine algorithms using program databases. Requires a Secret clearance. | Post-train | 7 |
| Discrimination Algorithm Engineer (Level 3 or 4) Secret (Chandler) The Discrimination Algorithm Engineer will design, develop, verify, and test software and simulation toolchains for a 6-DOF missile flight code, focusing on EO/IR sensor-based remote-sensing, image processing, and real-time target discrimination. The role involves enhancing algorithms to differentiate hypersonic threats from decoys, thermal reflectors, and noise, enabling accurate trajectory prediction and successful interception. This requires expertise in physics-based modeling, signal-processing algorithms, and C++/MATLAB/Python tool development. Experience with classifying large datasets, feature extraction, and training AI/ML models is preferred. | Post-train | 7 |
| Principal / Sr. Principal Signal / Image Processing Engineer Develop and prototype signal and image processing algorithms, including AI/ML-based approaches, for pattern recognition, target detection, and tracking in a defense context. Collaborate with software engineers for implementation and testing. | Post-train | 7 |
