Principal Scientist - Optics Signal Processing

Job description

About the Team The Maritime Domain Awareness Group (MDA) develops and delivers advanced signal processing algorithms and techniques for airborne radar and passive optical systems. MDA fosters a culture of innovation, collaboration, and execution. We develop and analyze cutting edge algorithms for detection and exploitation of signals in high clutter and noise environments using both classical, physics-based approaches, and big data-driven artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) techniques. If you are seeking an opportunity to apply your deep technical knowledge and creativity in a fast-paced, challenging environment to make a lasting impact, we invite you to join us. The Role: We are seeking a Principal Scientist to lead the development of next-generation signal processing capabilities for airborne passive optical sensing systems supporting critical national security missions. In this role, you will guide teams of scientists and engineers in designing advanced algorithms and processing architectures that enable the detection, characterization, and exploitation of targets operating in low signal-to-noise and highly cluttered environments. You will apply first-principles...
