Job Number: R0251388
Advanced Physicist, Lead
The Opportunity
As an Advanced Physicist, you will architect advanced SDA and remote sensing exploitation pipelines, guide technical direction, and lead multidisciplinary teams building highfidelity space observation analytics. You will shape nextgeneration tools that integrate imaging physics, MLbased behavior inference, and multisensor fusion.
You'll join a collaborative technical delivery team where you'll contribute to secure, reliable, usercentric tools that accelerate mission outcomes.
What You'll Do:
Architect endtoend remote sensing processing systems for EO/IR missions
Lead development of radiometric and spectral response models
Oversee advanced imaging algorithms including multi-frame super-resolution, deconvolution, target phenomenology detection, and low-SNR enhancement
Direct MLbased anomaly detection, behavior classification, and object discrimination frameworks
Design multi-sensor fusion pipelines integrating GEOINT, Radar, RF, and optical data using Bayesian or ML-based methods
Lead trajectory estimation and 3D kinematic modeling, including IOD, parallax exploitation, and uncertainty quantification
Architect scalable scientific computing solutions using Python, C++, CUDA, HPC clusters, or cloud-native platforms
Mentor junior engineers and help set technical road maps in collaboration with client and mission leadership
Join us. The world can't wait.
You Have:
8+ years of experience in remote sensing, image or signal processing, or GEOINT data exploitation
Experience with orbital mechanics, satellite characterization, Domain-specific applications or SDA operational workflows
Experience with Python, scientific Python packages, or Object-oriented programming languages, such as C++ or JavaScript
Experience architecting with large-scale software environments, such as CUDA, HPC or cloud
Experience with ML systems for imagery processing, target detection, tracking, or object classification
Experience with administration of continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines using Kubernetes, Docker, or Jenkins
Active TS/SCI clearance; willingness to take a polygraph exam
Bachelor's degree in a STEM field
Nice If You Have:
Experience with remote sensing systems in support of missile warning or tracking missions
Experience with building or training synthetic models for simulationaided training
Experience integrating EO/IR, RF, Radar, or GEOINT tracks into fused solutions
Experience with uncertainty quantification, Kalman filtering, or tracking algorithms
Experience with AIaugmented development workflows or agentic tools
Ability to display a record of publications, whitepapers, presentations or mission briefings
Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Physics, Mathematics or a related field preferred; Doctorate degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Physics, Mathematics or a related field a plus
Clearance: Applicants selected will be subject to a security investigation and may need to meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information; TS/SCI clearance is required.
