Senior Software Engineer - Collaborative Autonomy and Controls
Clearance Jobs, Washington, District Of Columbia, United States, 20310
Senior Software Engineer
STR's Analytics C2 Division develops novel technologies to solve challenging national security problems through advanced analytics. Our team consists of passionate, motivated individuals with degrees in engineering, computer science, mathematics, physics, and data science. We use our expertise and creativity to take innovative ideas from conception to mature implementation in order to improve mission success of our customers. The Collaborative Autonomy and Controls (CAC) Group in the Analytics Division is focused on collaborative autonomy for multi-agent reconnaissance systems operating in multiple domains. By leveraging expertise with machine learning, advanced algorithms, and software development best practices, we build tools that can make a difference in mission planning, autonomous systems reasoning, tracking of illicit activities, and more. The Role: As a Senior Software Engineer, you will work as part of a tightly knit team to design, develop, implement, and demonstrate advanced algorithms and software systems. You will provide technical leadership on programs working throughout the software lifecycle, from early prototypes to integrated systems. You will work closely with senior research scientists to realize the implementation of complex, large-scale autonomy algorithms. Your work will develop a diverse set of software tools and applications for mission planning systems, automated enterprise control processes, and unmanned platforms. This position will take advantage of STR's flexible, hybrid environment - when the work does not require use of STR's facilities, you are welcome to work remotely. Who You Are: Ability to obtain a security clearance, for which U.S. citizenship is needed by U.S. Government BS in Computer Science or related technical field with 5+ years' experience 3+ years in-depth OOP experience with Java and/or C++ Must have applicable domain experience in ISR Sensors, Tracking/Fusion, or Mission Planning Proven experience working closely with research scientists implementing complex autonomy algorithms Proven understanding of data structures, algorithms, concurrency, and code optimization Experience utilizing the following: Micro-service architectures DevOps and CI/CD pipelines (Gitlab) Containerization/orchestration tools such as Docker and Kubernetes Agile software lifecycle methodologies and tools, such as Confluence, JIRA and Sonarqube (Static analysis) Test-driven development methodologies and familiarity with a layered test strategy (unit, component, system, nightly tests). A demonstrated ability to adopt new languages, libraries, and technologies Even Better: MS or PhD in Computer Science, Mathematics or related technical field Experience in one or more of the following: motion planning, perception, localization, mapping, controls, and related system performance metrics Experience with Kafka, Protobuf, REST Experience with reinforcement learning (RL) training pipelines, deployment scripting & automated analysis Active Security Clearance STR is a growing technology company with locations near Boston, MA, Arlington, VA, near Dayton, OH, Melbourne, FL, and Carlsbad, CA. We specialize in advanced research and development for defense, intelligence, and national security in: cyber; next generation sensors, radar, sonar, communications, and electronic warfare; and artificial intelligence algorithms and analytics to make sense of the complexity that is exploding around us. STR is committed to creating a collaborative learning environment that supports deep technical understanding and recognizes the contributions and achievements of all team members. We are fully dedicated to hiring the most qualified candidate regardless of race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation and pregnancy), marital status, national origin, age, veteran status, disability, genetic information or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local laws.
