Description
In this role, you will collaborate with multidisciplinary team members focused on Physics (Hydrodynamics, Acoustics, RF and EO/IR propagation, among other areas) and Machine Learning to design, implement, and deliver cutting edge machine Signal Processing solutions to complex problems of national importance.
Primary Responsibilities
Design and develop advanced statistical and machine learning models utilizing state-of-the-art methods. Implement advanced statistical concepts, algorithms and techniques to extract, consolidate and analyze unstructured, classified “big data” sources to generate actionable insights. Collaborate with other applied scientists, engineers, researchers & program managers to architect and implement machine learned solutions to novel problems. Engage in continuous learning and development, staying current with the latest advances in AI/ML and data science to ensure fit-for-purpose and impactful approaches. Prepare and present briefs to client team members at a regular cadence. Lead and manage a team: Recruit, hire, onboard, train, develop, and evaluate a team of 3-5 direct reports.
Basic Qualifications
Bachelor's degree with 8+ years of prior relevant experience or Masters degree with 6+ years of relevant experience. Proficient in modern data exploration techniques and tools Experience developing and implementing machine learned solutions Familiarization with modern AI/ML algorithms and libraries Fluency in C/C++, Python or Matlab Strong understanding of machine learning concepts, principles and practices Strong written and verbal communication skills Required on-site full-time work in San Diego, CA Must currently hold a US Government Top Secret security clearance
Preferred Qualifications
Experience performing research to develop data science solutions Experience implementing and applying advanced mathematical concepts in software applications
Past management experience
Come break things (in a good way). Then build them smarter.
We're the tech company everyone calls when things get weird. We don’t wear capes (they’re a safety hazard), but we do solve high-stakes problems with code, caffeine, and a healthy disregard for “how it’s always been done.”
