GA-CCRi maintains and deploys production systems for users across the Intelligence Community, Department of Defense, and commercial industry. We build and develop best-in-class all domain and globally focused situational awareness capabilities, including THRESHER and DRAGONSPELL, that process petabytes of data from numerous streaming data sources in near real time. Our systems apply state-of-the-art algorithms and machine learning techniques to extract features and fuse data from multiple phenomenologies to form a rich live view of objects in the sky, on the sea, and on the ground. These analytics are designed to determine not just where something is, but what it is, where it's been and what it's doing. All of this "data to knowledge" is made available to end users in our own browser-based application for visualization, analysis, and understanding. We always want to do more, and that's where you come in!
GA-CCRi is looking for a Software Engineer to join our federal team to develop scalable, high-performant cloud-based computer vision systems focused on the automated detection of objects in satellite imagery. State of the art Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are used in AI/ML pipelines to process large volumes of satellite imagery. Object detections from the platform are used by the community to search for objects, maintain object custody, and in Multi-INT analytics.
