Georgia Tech Research Institute
Algorithm & Analysis Engineer (Mid-Level) - SEAL - Colorado Springs, CO - Open R
Georgia Tech Research Institute, Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States, 80509
Overview:The Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) is the nonprofit, applied research division of the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech). Founded in 1934 as the Engineering Experiment Station, GTRI has grown to more than 2,900 employees, supporting eight laboratories in over 20 locations around the country and performing more than $940 million of problem-solving research annually for government and industry. GTRI's renowned researchers combine science, engineering, economics, policy, and technical expertise to solve complex problems for the U.S. federal government, state, and industry.
Project/Unit DescriptionThe Georgia Tech Research Institute in Colorado Springs, CO, is seeking engineers and scientists with experience in radar, command and control & battle management & communications systems, missile defense systems, and space domain awareness systems. We are seeking individuals with a robust background in algorithm development, radar system design and analysis, software prototype development, and data analysis. The ideal candidate will have experience in estimation theory, orbital dynamics, and RF system modeling and simulation. As a researcher in the Air & Missile Defense Division (AMDD), candidates will work on a variety of projects supporting Missile Defense Agency (MDA) and U.S. Space Force (USSF). The types of work that will be performed are the following:
Develop radar signal processing, tracking, fusion, sensor management, and command and control algorithms for application in missile defense and space domain awareness systems.
Perform system engineering assessments to quantify performance of missile defense and space domain awareness systems.
Serve in an independent advisory role to the Government providing subject matter expertise in RF systems, missile defense, and space domain awareness system engineering.
Job PurposeThe Algorithm & Analysis Engineer is responsible for the development and support of state-of-the-art algorithms involving data fusion, sensor fusion, machine learning, manned/unmanned avionics improvement programs, and genetic programming. The Algorithm & Analysis Engineer focuses on the design, analysis, software/hardware implementation, optimization, profiling, and experimental evaluation of computer algorithms, bridging the gap between algorithm theory and practical applications of algorithms in software engineering. Additionally, the Algorithm & Analysis Engineer conducts statistical analysis of multi-modal and time-varying data to characterize and quantify system qualities and deficiencies, resulting in recommendations and development of improvements.
Key Responsibilities
Perform data cleaning and fundamental data analysis, with guidance only as needed, generating new tools with significant reusability.
Design and execute algorithm tests with limited oversight.
Serve in a leading role in algorithm design discussions for defined portions of programs.
Design larger portions of algorithms and testing with minimal oversight.
Lead sections of technical report execution.
Lead discussions with sponsors for large portions of research.
Work with independence at sponsor sites under guidance of technical leads.
Materially contribute to discussions for technical journal articles and conference presentations.
Conduct literature searches related to research focus areas.
Mentor student researchers and facilitate their technical development and tasking.
Required Minimum Qualifications
Possess experience in the design, test, and analysis of tracking and signal processing algorithms.
Knowledge of space domain awareness algorithms.
Preferred Qualifications
Active Secret Clearance.
Expertise in advanced tracking, fusion, and space domain awareness algorithm designs.
Expertise and broad understanding of radar systems.
Experience analyzing complex test data sets and developing insightful assessments for Government program managers.
Travel RequirementsEducation and Length of Experience
5 years of related experience with a Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Mathematics or related field.
3 years of related experience with a Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Mathematics or related field.
0 years of related experience with a Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Mathematics or related field.
U.S. Citizenship RequirementsDue to our research contracts with the U.S. federal government, candidates for this position must be U.S. Citizens.
Clearance Type RequiredCandidates must be able to obtain and maintain an active security clearance.
