• Apply signal and image processing principles and methods to analyze data and solve problems including: automation of data analysis, characterization of new and existing sensor systems, development of new and improved data analysis techniques.
• Develop, integrate, and test new simulation models and algorithms.
• Utilize GPU clusters to accelerate MATLAB and C codebases.
• Perform modeling and simulation tasks with off-the-shelf and custom developed tools.
• Develop scenarios for testing, perform prediction and post run data review and analysis to identify root causes and trends.
• Verify and validate models and algorithms within high fidelity simulations.
• Analyze, evaluate, and plan methods of approach and organize means to achieve solutions to complex technical problems.
• Develop synthetic data for algorithm tradespace analysis.
• Apply statistical methods to ensure results are complete and accurate.
• Develop test plans and document results in test report.
• Communicate with team and customers to determine requirements and relevant technical approaches.
• Mentor staff in areas of expertise.

This is you:

• Bachelor’s in Engineering, Physics, Applied Math, Electrical Engineering or similar field, and 2 years of prior relevant experience.
