BMC "As an Algorithm Engineer on C2

BMC, you will be responsible for designing, integrating, and testing algorithms for modeling, tracking, planning, and sense-making, as well as developing and validating complex simulations. You will work with a highly skilled team of computer scientists, data scientists, software engineers, and systems engineers to support various C2

BMC efforts.

Essential Functions:

• Experience in algorithm design, systems engineering, systems analysis, and software engineering

• Working proficiency in software languages (including Java, Python, and MATLAB)

• Experience designing algorithms, a deep background in mathematics, and a proficient understanding of physics

• The algorithms developed by the candidate include state estimation, nonlinear optimization, and machine learning

• Strong technical writing skills are required because all algorithms are thoroughly documented

• Applies advanced concepts, theories, and principles and contributes to the development of new concepts and principles

• Works on unusually complex problems with consultative direction; erroneous decisions would normally result in failure to achieve goals critical to major organizational objectives and damage the organization's image of technological capability

• Advises top management and customers on advanced technical research and applications

• Managerial/leadership experience or necessary skills

Basic Qualifications:

• A Bachelor’s Degree in STEM Computer Science, Software Engineering, Systems Engineering (preferred), Mathematics, Physics, or a related field from an accredited university, with 5 years of experience; or a Master’s degree (preferred) in a STEM-related field with 3 years of relevant work experience; or a PhD in a related discipline with 1 year of relevant work experience

• Applicants must have a current, active in-scope DoD-issued Top Secret security clearance at the time of application, which is required to start

• Professional algorithm experience in at least one of the following areas: optimization, machine learning, state estimation, or signal processing

• Working proficiency in Java, Python, and MATLAB

• Experience modeling physics simulations

• Experience in systems analysis and Sabermetrics-like studies focused on trend identification, process improvement, and error reduction

• Software Quality Engineering and/or related discipline processes, including Systems Engineering Methodologies (Model-Based and DoDAF)

• Basic understanding of programming languages (such as Java and Python)

• Code and peer review experience

• Experienced reviewer of technical documentation

• Experienced root cause analysis practitioner

• Process auditing experience

• Advanced mathematics degree with a focus on physics

• Self-starter who is detail-oriented, well-organized, and able to prioritize and complete tasks in a dynamic and demanding environment

Preferred Qualifications:

• Master’s Degree in Systems Engineering

• Certification: INCOSE Certified Systems Engineering Professional (CSEP) Certification

• Certification:
Object Management Group Certified Systems Modeling Professional - Model Builder Fundamental (OCSMP - MBF)

• Understanding of numerical computation approaches and data science foundations is desired

• Professional applications of Linear Algebra, Statistics, and Calculus

• Understanding of numerical computing methods and mathematical algorithm design

• Professional experience with software development tools such as Git, Maven, and common IDEs

• Understanding of aerodynamics, astrodynamics

• Strong interpersonal and conflict management skills, working in a diverse environment and across many disciplines

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, able to create and deliver briefings and status reports"
