Day-to-Day:
*A company in the Boulder, CO area is looking for Software and Algorithms Engineers to join their team in support of classified programs. The SW/Algorithms Engineers are a combination of aerospace and software engineers responsible for missile tracking/prediction and software development. Day to day duties will include researching and identifying highly complex and multi-faceted problems as well as designing/implementing algorithm solutions for a broad range of sensor exploitation activities for the identification, characterization, interpretation, and change detection of objects/events. IR sensor data is received and used for state estimation and prediction, satellite positioning and tracking and creates and accurate 3D track state to determine missile trajectory. The Algorithm engineer will participate in technical peer reviews and work with various Integrated Product Teams and have the ability to communicate and present technical findings and approaches. The Algorithms Engineer will also be responsible for receiving IR sensor data and simulated data to be used for state estimation and prediction, satellite positioning and tracking. Responsibilities will also include evaluating system performance, tracking residuals, coding and integration in to systems and working through assigned defects. This is a contract to hire for a large aerospace and defense technology company in Boulder, CO.
