$97,000.00/yr - $155,000.00/yr Description
Have you considered the military, intelligence, and civilian capabilities that are possible with the proliferation of low-cost sensing, computing, and control technologies?
Are you interested in developing, defending, and defeating systems of these technologies to solve real-world challenges?
If you're excited to work in the field of Cyber-Physical Systems, our team of engineers and developers is excited to talk!
We are seeking Cyber-Physical System developers to help us deliver and contend with emerging intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and targeting (ISR&T) capabilities. Wait what in the world is a Cyber-Physical System (CPS)? There are lots of examples of CPS, but we are concerned with devices that autonomously sense, process information, and interact with the physical world. Our teams build CPS prototypes that use these capabilities to provide exquisite situational awareness to users in the defense, security, and health sectors. We employ a wide range of ground breaking technologies from machine learning to autonomous platforms to power our solutions. Meanwhile, we also help our sponsors understand and counter the threats posed by the proliferation of CPS technology being employed by our adversaries.
As a member of our team, you will...
Support and lead the development of CPS systems that range from tiny autonomous sensors to entire smart environments. Evaluate CPS systems to assess their capabilities/limitations in light of real-world applications Conceive and implement novel methods to strengthen or impair the functionality of existing and emerging CPS Propose and defend groundbreaking concepts involving the application, defense, and/or defeat of CPS Explore opportunities to translate findings into white papers, proposals, and presentations/publications.
Qualifications
