Tracking Software Engineer, Space

5+ years of experience designing, implementing, and testing multi-target tracking algorithms for aerospace, defense, or autonomous systems

Experience developing tracking algorithms that handle track initiation, maintenance, correlation, and termination in operational systems

Proficiency in algorithm development using MATLAB and/or Python with demonstrated experience transitioning algorithms to C++ for production deployment

Experience with modeling, simulation, and testing workflows including Monte Carlo analysis, sensor data playback, or hardware-in-the-loop environments

Ability to work collaboratively with software engineers, systems engineers, and test teams to integrate tracking algorithms into operational systems

Experience in one or more of the following domains: missile defense or space systems; EO/IR or RF sensors; kill vehicles, interceptors, or countermeasures

In this role, you will be responsible for developing 2D and 3D tracking algorithms that maintain custody of space objects, processing sensor detections and messages into actionable tracks for space situational awareness missions.

You will design and implement multi-target tracking systems using advanced state estimation and data association techniques, develop physics-based models to validate performance, and work closely with software teams to deploy your algorithms into operational systems.

This will require deep expertise in tracking algorithms, state estimation (Kalman filtering), data association methods (JPDA, MHT), proficiency in MATLAB, Python, and C++, and experience with modeling and simulation.

If you are someone who enjoys solving challenging tracking problems involving clutter, maneuvering targets, contested sensing environments, and real-time mission constraints then this role is for you.

Perform systems engineering and algorithm development tasks supporting space and missile defense tracking missions

Design and implement advanced object tracking and state estimation algorithms, including track initiation, maintenance, correlation, and termination
