Senior Tracking Software Engineer, Space

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

Demonstrated technical leadership in tracking algorithm development, including leading design efforts, mentoring team members, or serving as a subject matter expert

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

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

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

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

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

As a senior member of the team, you will architect and implement sophisticated multi-target tracking systems using cutting-edge state estimation and data association techniques, develop physics-based models to validate performance, and mentor engineers while working closely with software teams to deploy your algorithms into operational systems.

You will drive technical decisions, lead design reviews, and serve as a subject matter expert in tracking algorithms.

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

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

Lead systems engineering and algorithm development tasks supporting space and missile defense tracking missions, providing technical direction and guidance to team members
