Optimizes inference performance and reliability, collaborates with infrastructure and security teams, documents best practices, and mentors software teams on responsible AI adoption.

Leads risk-based manual testing for complex software products, creating test plans, cases, data, traceability records, and release assessments. Executes functional, integration, regression, exploratory, and acceptance testing; investigates failures, tracks defects, verifies fixes, and identifies regression coverage. Contributes to automation frameworks and CI pipelines, improves QA processes, applies AI tools to testing workflows, coordinates cross-team testing, and mentors QA engineers.

Supports integration, qualification, production readiness, and lifecycle maintenance of workstation, server, and embedded computing platforms. Responsibilities include assembling and configuring hardware, executing functional and stress tests, troubleshooting hardware, firmware, drivers, and system issues, evaluating component changes, documenting results, maintaining engineering records, and supporting prototype logistics, inventory, manufacturing transitions, and lab operations.

Create precise vector annotations and segmentation masks on geospatial imagery, validate and correct automated detections, maintain documentation and QA, support dataset pipelines, and assist ML teams with inference and model evaluation to produce production-ready training data.

Develop and optimize real-time graphics rendering engine components and content-creation tools. Integrate art pipelines with shader engine, collaborate on-site to improve visual realism and rendering performance.

Design and develop next-generation real-time graphics rendering engine and content-creation tools. Enhance art pipeline integration with shader engine to improve realism and performance. Lead peers to ship high-quality products under delivery deadlines and work with export-controlled technology.

Produce area-of-interest and wide-area geotypical feature population for the visual database using GIS tools, ML-assisted feature generation, QA, discrepancy resolution, and internal tool support. Collaborate with DAML and integration teams, prepare and preprocess training data, perform spatial analysis, and maintain feedback loops to improve ML-driven feature tools.

Integrate Aechelon Image Generators into simulators and trainers at prime contractor and end-user sites. Develop, modify, and debug Aechelon and customer software, reproduce and resolve runtime bugs, manage discrepancy reports with program management, and provide phone/email support to achieve ready-for-training status.

Develop and maintain C++ application software that simulates airborne radar and sensors on Windows and Linux. Responsibilities include software design, implementation, integration/testing, documentation, customer interaction, collaboration, and schedule/task planning for real-time simulation products.

Summer internship on the core 3D Graphics Software Engineering team to develop and enhance pC-Nova. Work with a mentor to design and implement production-level graphics technologies, contributing to shipping products and real-time simulation performance.

Design and build high-performance, responsive frontend web and desktop applications (React/TypeScript/Electron). Drive frontend architecture and implementation decisions, integrate real-time bidirectional data (WebSockets), optimize for speed/security/scale, collaborate with UI/UX and backend teams, and mentor engineers to improve frontend engineering practices.

Summer internship developing and maintaining C++ radar simulation software (RTK) on Windows/Linux. Work includes design, implementation, integration, testing, documentation, and team collaboration under a mentor. Must be U.S. citizen.

Lead development of tools and pipelines to reconstruct 3D models from images and video, register imagery to global terrain, generate and relight Gaussian splats, validate outputs for digital twin/AI use, and guide engineering efforts to deliver real-time graphics content for simulation and imagery exploitation.

The 3D Modeler will create, UV map, texture, and light various models, using Autodesk Maya and Adobe Photoshop, for 3D simulation environments.

Design, build, automate, and scale Windows-based storage platforms (including Storage Spaces Direct). Implement standardized, repeatable server deployments, high-availability clustering, and lifecycle management. Develop PowerShell automation, CI/CD integration, configuration management, and platform validation. Collaborate with hardware teams, contribute to architecture decisions, implement security best practices, and produce technical documentation to support customer deployments.

Lead product strategy, roadmap, and delivery for high-fidelity flight simulation and synthetic data solutions. Collaborate with engineering, systems, QA, content, and external stakeholders to gather requirements, prioritize backlogs, and manage full product lifecycle to meet military-grade standards and customer needs.

Maintain and operate the in-office QA test lab, create and maintain automated Python-based tests and Jenkins scripts, develop image-diffing and performance/stress tests, reproduce issues with engineers, perform manual testing when needed, document the test system, and support Kansas-based hardware and software test infrastructure.

The Geotypical Production Modeler produces visual data using GIS software, focuses on machine learning for feature processing, and collaborates across teams for quality assurance.
