Leads systems engineering and modeling for combined hardware/software data processing systems supporting U.S. national security missions. Responsibilities include eliciting operational concepts, refining requirements, designing architectures, coordinating verification and validation, documenting systems using MBSE tools, mentoring staff, and improving engineering processes. The role collaborates with government customers, operational users, integration teams, and technical staff, with emphasis on MOSA, microservices, data centers, and high-performance processing.

Develops model-based systems engineering artifacts for integrated hardware/software data processing systems. Responsibilities include modeling operational concepts, stakeholder needs, requirements, interfaces, architectures, verification status, and development roadmaps using SysML and related tools. Collaborates with customers and technical teams to support MOSA architectures and high-performance data processing applications. The role requires a STEM bachelor’s degree, SysML experience, familiarity with IEEE 15288, U.S. citizenship, and the ability to obtain a DoD security clearance.

Designs and documents operational concepts, stakeholder needs, system requirements, and architectures for combined hardware/software data processing systems. Supports development, integration, verification, and validation teams while applying IEEE 15288 and Model-Based Systems Engineering practices. The role involves microservices, data centers, modular open systems, Kubernetes, remote sensing, and high-performance computing, with collaboration across customers and technical staff. Technical leadership experience and the ability to obtain and maintain a DoD clearance are required.

Develop, prototype, integrate, and test Python-based software for missile warning/tracking missions. Contribute to containerization, testing, deployment, and provide technical guidance to team members while supporting DoD programs and maintaining high software engineering standards.

Develop and maintain GitLab CI pipelines, automated testing suites, and test environments using Kubernetes and Helm. Execute tests across environments, review test engineering artifacts, conduct performance and risk analyses, complete trade studies, and maintain compliant test documentation. The role supports cloud-based software processing OPIR sensor data for missile warning and other national defense missions. This is an on-site position in Boulder, Colorado, requiring U.S. citizenship and eligibility for a DoD security clearance.

Lead development and optimization of numerical radar algorithms and end-to-end processing pipelines. Prototype in Python and transition performance-critical code to optimized C++ on Linux. Work with real I/Q radar data, evaluate algorithm performance, and integrate solutions into operational DoD radar systems while providing technical leadership within Agile teams.

Develop, prototype, and tune low-latency numerical algorithms (Kalman filtering, tracking, state estimation, GNC) in Python and C++ for remote sensing data exploitation. Characterize algorithm and sensor performance, contribute to Agile teams and shared tools, and integrate software into government frameworks.

Supports operational missile defense software systems processing OPIR sensor data. Responsibilities include monitoring infrastructure, resolving incidents, conducting root-cause analysis, improving reliability and performance, managing upgrades and configuration changes, and supporting integration, testing, and debugging in Linux environments. The role provides onsite customer support at Buckley Space Force Base and requires clear technical communication, documentation, and collaboration across mission-focused teams.

Design, train, and optimize high-performance ML/AI models and inference pipelines for remote sensor (OPIR) data. Integrate models into production Linux-based systems, collaborate with C++ and systems engineers, apply rigorous software engineering and Agile practices, and support missile warning, defense, and sensor-fusion applications.

Design, implement, and optimize high-performance C++ software for remote sensor data processing (OPIR) on Linux. Develop image analysis, detection, and tracking algorithms; improve scalability and reliability; participate in code reviews, integration, testing, and Agile development; collaborate with algorithms, systems, and integration teams.
