SciTec Incorporated, El Segundo, California, United States, 90245
SciTec has been awarded multiple government contracts and is growing our creative Team! SciTec, Inc. is a dynamic small business with the mission to deliver advanced sensor data processing technologies and scientific instrumentation capabilities in support of National Security and Defense. We support customers throughout the Department of Defense and U.S. Government in building innovative new tools to deliver unique world-class data exploitation capabilities.Important Notice:
SciTec exclusively works on U.S. government contracts that require U.S. citizenship for all employees. SciTec cannot sponsor or assume sponsorship of employee work visas of any type. Further, U.S. citizenship is a requirement to obtain and keep a security clearance. Applicants that do not meet these requirements will not be considered.Our modeling and simulation team is looking for talented scientists and engineers to build and use software tools for generating high-fidelity simulated remote sensing imagery grounded in physical principles for future generations of Earth observing satellite sensors. Data from these simulations will be used to drive development requirements and train data processing algorithms to solve pressing problems in national defense and intelligence. Our ideal candidate will have experience building, testing, validating, and using numerical models of physical processes that contribute to remote sensing imagery, such as radiative transport, scattering, thermodynamics, and cloud formation.If you are highly motivated and passionate about working on cutting edge problems of national defense and intelligence, then we want you on our team.ResponsibilitiesOperate existing modeling code and pipelines to generate synthetic remote sensing imagery and apply analysis to validate outputs for radiometric accuracyGenerate 3D model scene inputs, including terrain and clouds meshes with physical, thermal, and optical data attached, to expand existing scene librariesContribute to the development and enhancement of numeric modeling tools for generating and validating remote sensing scenesContribute to the development and validation of target motion and radiance signature modelsContribute to the development and enhancement of numeric modeling tools for post-processing scenes with sensor noise models, inserted target models, and vehicle motion modelsEffectively communicate results to internal and external data customers and collaborate with downstream users to meet mission requirementsOther duties as assignedSciTec is looking for people with the desire to expand their knowledge and pick up new skills and talents. Successful candidates will start out with demonstrated experience in one or more of the following areas, along with the ability to pick up additional skills with time.Ability to obtain and maintain a TOP SECRET//SCI Department of Defense security clearanceMaster's degree or equivalent industry experience in physical sciences, mathematics, or engineeringDemonstrated ability to work in a collaborative environment with both local and remote teamsExperience with writing and testing scientific numerical algorithm code in PythonDesire and ability to expand your knowledge and pick up new skillsCandidates who have one or more of the following skills will be preferred
