Research Scientist

Job Opportunity

We are seeking talented candidates to develop mathematical models and algorithms, develop and demonstrate prototype software, and participate in operational analysis related to their technical work. We employ mathematicians, physicists and computer scientists. We routinely apply stochastic processes, statistical inference, optimization and scheduling, models of random graphs and applied physics to develop the underlying theory and applications for our clients. The successful candidate will interact with customers, gather requirements and data, write and present briefings, and contribute to the development of our tools.

Projects typically involve developing advanced algorithms implemented in a computer prototype system for our research & development customers. Areas of focus span a broad spectrum from data analysis and fusion, artificial intelligence and machine learning, signal processing, multi-variable optimization, mission planning and tactical decision aids. We work in small teams, led by Senior Scientists, who work closely with new employees.

Project teams work together from the initial system concept, through software and algorithm design, to implementation and demonstration.

Bachelors degree in computer science, applied mathematics, physics, engineering, operations research, or related field

Mathematical, simulation, signal processing, tracking and fusion, machine learning or physical modeling experience

US Citizenship required; successful candidates will be subject to a security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information

Advanced degree in computer science, applied mathematics, physics, engineering, operations research, or related field

Programming experience in Java, C, C++, MATLAB, Mathematica and/or Python

Proficiency in object-oriented programming skills

Application of academic experience shown through presented talks at conferences or workshops and publications highly desired
