Remote Sensing Software Engineer Jobs

Remote Sensing Software Engineer

Join a team using advanced imaging, physics-based modeling, and AI/ML to solve some of the nation's most compelling Space Domain Awareness (SDA) and remote sensing challenges. You'll contribute to the design and development of high-fidelity processing pipelines that transform raw sensor data into insight. You'll join a collaborative technical delivery team where you'll contribute to secure, reliable, and user-centric tools that accelerate mission outcomes.

What You'll Do:

• Develop software tools for radiometric modeling and satellite observation geometry.
• Implement imaging and signal processing workflows, including motion compensation, multi-frame alignment, and super-resolution.
• Build ML-enabled detection, anomaly identification, and object classification modules using operational EO/IR and synthetic datasets.
• Design scientific Python pipelines such as Num Py, OpenCV, Astropy, or Sci Py, for real time and batch processing.
• Support orbital modeling tasks such as SGP4, TLE ingestion, or basic pose estimation.
• Conduct imagery preprocessing such as radiometric calibration, artifact correction, and multi-frame filtering.
• Maintain reproducible environments using Git Lab, containers, and experiment-tracking tools.
• Collaborate with astrodynamics SMEs, operations personnel, and ML engineers to deliver integrated mission capabilities.

You Have:

• 4+ years of experience with remote sensing, image processing, or GEOINT data exploitation
• Experience designing, modifying, developing, writing, and implementing software programming applications using Agile methods
• Experience with Python and scientific Python packages such as Num Py, Sci Py, OpenCV, or xarray
• Experience with basic orbital mechanics
• Experience with ML frameworks such as PyTorch or Tensor Flow
• Experience with large sensor datasets such as HDF5 or cloud object storage
• Active TS/SCI clearance; willingness to take a polygraph exam
• Bachelor's degree in a STEM field

Nice If You Have:

• Experience with administration of continuous integration or continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines using Kubernetes, Docker, or Jenkins
• Experience with sensor phenomenology, radiometric calibration, or remote sensing interpretation
• Experience with super-resolution, deblurring, spectral exploitation, or resolved feature extraction
• Experience with uncertainty quantification, Kalman filtering, or tracking algorithms
• Experience with AI-augmented development workflows or agentic tools
• Experience with Git Lab-based CI/CD workflows
• Master's degree in Physics, Mathematics, CS, or a related STEM field

Compensation:
The projected compensation range for this position is $69,300.00 to $ (annualized USD).

Work Model:
Our people-first culture prioritizes the benefits of collaboration, whether it occurs in person or virtually. To support engagement and effective communication, employees working virtually are generally expected to have their cameras on during meetings.

Commitment to Non-Discrimination:
All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to disability, status as a protected veteran or any other status protected by applicable federal, state, local, or international law.
