Summary

Job Description

SLD Algorithm Engineer - Tracking

Location: Huntsville, AL
Clearance: Active DoD Secret
Experience: 7+ years
Certification: No IAT certification required. Security+ is preferred.

Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced Algorithm Engineer to support the development of a complex defense command-and-control system.

This position will lead the design, development, analysis, and implementation of mathematical algorithms supporting real-time tracking and sensor discrimination. The engineer will develop algorithm prototypes in MATLAB and/or Python and help transition those algorithms into Java-based tactical software.

Responsibilities
  • Design and develop complex mathematical algorithms supporting tracking, data fusion, sensor discrimination, classification, signal processing, and related mission functions.
  • Develop algorithm concepts, prototypes, whitepapers, design documentation, and other technical artifacts.
  • Implement or oversee the implementation of algorithms in Java-based, real-time tactical systems.
  • Develop MATLAB and/or Python prototypes before transitioning algorithms into tactical Java software.
  • Participate in software design reviews, code reviews, integration, testing, and verification activities.
  • Analyze algorithm and system performance, investigate unexpected behavior, identify root causes, and recommend solutions.
  • Develop automated unit tests and verify software against established requirements.
  • Review systems engineering artifacts, including interface control documents, use cases, and sequence diagrams.
  • Present algorithm designs, software approaches, and test results to internal and external stakeholders.
  • Participate in Agile planning, work decomposition, sprint planning, and execution.
  • Collaborate with systems engineering, integration and test, deployment, and operational support teams.
Required Qualifications
  • Active DoD Secret clearance.
  • At least 7 years of experience designing and developing complex mathematical algorithms.
  • Experience in one or more of the following areas:

    • Data fusion
    • Tracking and correlation
    • Transferable belief models
    • Signal or radar signal processing
    • Sensor discrimination or classification
    • Kalman filtering
  • Experience developing algorithm prototypes and transitioning them into real-time software implementations.
  • Experience implementing mathematical algorithms in Java or overseeing their implementation.
  • Experience with MATLAB and/or Python.
  • Experience analyzing, testing, and verifying algorithm design and performance.
  • Experience supporting the full software development lifecycle.
  • Strong problem-solving skills, including the ability to analyze system behavior, determine root causes, and recommend corrective actions.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to work independently and collaborate across multidisciplinary teams in a dynamic environment.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Missile defense tracking or sensor discrimination experience.
  • Experience developing algorithms for data fusion, tracking, correlation, guidance, battle management, or radar management.
  • Experience developing Java-based military or command-and-control applications.
  • Experience working within the missile defense domain.
  • Experience with Agile software development, sprint planning, and technical leadership.
  • Experience developing software within a DevSecOps environment.
  • Experience developing Java applications on Unix or Linux platforms.
  • Experience with Git, GitLab, Eclipse, Maven, Gradle, SonarQube, or similar tools.
  • Experience developing automated unit tests and verifying requirements.
  • Experience with software integration and system-level testing.
  • Security+ certification.
