About the Team
The Sensors Division at STR focuses on technology development for advanced sensor systems and platforms in support of national Systems Autonomy Analysis and Modeling (SAAM) Group within the Sensors Division develops adapts and applies cutting-edge autonomy research to solve real-world problems on the foundation of physics-based modeling and simulation. Algorithmic areas of interest include AI/ML controls theory sensor signal processing (especially radar and EO/IR) tracking optimization and resource allocation. Application domains include: manned air platforms (e.g. the F-35 Joint Simulation Environment) unmanned air platforms and space assets primarily for the Air Force and Navy as well as DARPA research programs.
The Role:
The SAAM Group is seeking a Senior Researcher to research design develop and implement a portfolio of capabilities to further our autonomy mission. You will participate in multi-disciplinary teams spread across multiple STR campuses to plan and execute technical efforts prepare reports & deliver talks for customers contribute to proposal efforts and develop innovative solutions to complex and challenging national security problems. Specifically you will focus on innovating and applying AI/ML and other decision-making algorithms to develop autonomy capabilities particularly in simulation.
A successful candidate will have a demonstrated ability to successfully carry out research projects and make rapid progress with limited supervision. This position also requires skills in software development oral communication written communications and peer leadership.
Interviews for this role will require an in-person or virtual presentation.
What you will do:
- Design develop and modify cutting-edge machine learning and other algorithms to conduct studies and form conclusions for autonomy and other challenges
- Create expand upgrade and maintain algorithms in software
