This team specializes in developing advanced technologies to address complex national security challenges through innovative analytics and command and control solutions. The SET Group focuses on applying machine learning, statistics, estimation theory, and information theory algorithms for signals exploitation, target tracking, predictive analytics, and system resource management.
In this role, you will contribute to the development of disruptive technologies centered on signals exploitation, estimation theory, system resource management, and systems analysis. Your responsibilities will include data analysis, engineering software, and validation/verification of cutting-edge algorithms for novel application domains and modalities. You will explore complex datasets, develop advanced algorithmic techniques, and solve high-impact, unique problems for our customers. Additionally, you will participate in project teams and interact with customers to ensure the successful implementation of these technologies.
The ideal candidate will possess an active Top Secret Clearance with SCI eligibility, as U.S. citizenship is required by the U.S. government. A Master's degree or a Bachelor's degree with at least two years of experience in a scientific field such as applied mathematics, physics, electrical engineering, computer science, or data science is required. Experience in intelligence or military-related mission areas is preferred. Proficiency in building data analysis pipelines using standard tools (e.g., Python, C++), implementing software to identify key metrics for various datasets, and designing and implementing experiments to verify and compare algorithm performance with measured data and/or simulations is essential. Familiarity with standard data science tools such as scikit-learn, Pandas, and Matplotlib is also necessary. Strong communication skills to convey technical findings to both technical and non-technical audiences are important.
The full-time salary range for this position is $110,000 to $138,000 annually.
