Jobs at SciTec

Summer 2027 internship opportunities for undergraduate students in software engineering, computer engineering, business operations, accounting, project coordination, AI, machine learning, image processing, embedded signal processing, and data science. Interns will support remote sensing systems for U.S. government national security and defense missions in agile, collaborative teams.

Develop and maintain C++ software for OPIR sensor data processing supporting missile warning, missile defense, battlespace awareness, and technical intelligence. Responsibilities include software design, feature development, prototyping, integration, testing, agile collaboration, and small-project ownership. The role requires Linux, Makefiles, shell scripting, data structures, and eligibility for a DoD security clearance, with preferred experience in modern C++, optimization, testing, containerization, CI/CD, CMake, DevSecOps, and remotely sensed data.

Design, develop, and sustain distributed, containerized microservices and real-time data pipelines. Collaborate with scientific users, ensure scalability and reliability of messaging systems, lead Agile practices, mentor engineers, champion testing and documentation, and support program risk reduction and deployment.

Manage multi-state biweekly payroll for 500+ employees, including payroll data audits, tax filings, deductions, reconciliations, general ledger entries, accruals, and leave processing. Administer RSU vesting events and integrate equity transactions with payroll and accounting systems. Ensure compliance with payroll regulations, SOX controls, and corporate policies; support audits, system improvements, and cross-functional coordination with HR, Accounting, and external equity administrators.

Develop, prototype, integrate, and test Python-based software for missile warning/tracking missions. Contribute to containerization, testing, deployment, and provide technical guidance to team members while supporting DoD programs and maintaining high software engineering standards.

Develop and maintain GitLab CI pipelines, automated testing suites, and test environments using Kubernetes and Helm. Execute tests across environments, review test engineering artifacts, conduct performance and risk analyses, complete trade studies, and maintain compliant test documentation. The role supports cloud-based software processing OPIR sensor data for missile warning and other national defense missions. This is an on-site position in Boulder, Colorado, requiring U.S. citizenship and eligibility for a DoD security clearance.

Lead development and optimization of numerical radar algorithms and end-to-end processing pipelines. Prototype in Python and transition performance-critical code to optimized C++ on Linux. Work with real I/Q radar data, evaluate algorithm performance, and integrate solutions into operational DoD radar systems while providing technical leadership within Agile teams.

Administer and secure RHEL and Windows servers/workstations, implement STIG/SCAP hardening, manage patches/packages and backups, support virtualization (VMware, containers, OpenShift/K8s), troubleshoot hardware/software and networking, document configurations, provide operational support, and participate in automation and modernization efforts for defense-focused OPIR processing systems.

Develop, prototype, and tune low-latency numerical algorithms (Kalman filtering, tracking, state estimation, GNC) in Python and C++ for remote sensing data exploitation. Characterize algorithm and sensor performance, contribute to Agile teams and shared tools, and integrate software into government frameworks.

Supports operational missile defense software systems processing OPIR sensor data. Responsibilities include monitoring infrastructure, resolving incidents, conducting root-cause analysis, improving reliability and performance, managing upgrades and configuration changes, and supporting integration, testing, and debugging in Linux environments. The role provides onsite customer support at Buckley Space Force Base and requires clear technical communication, documentation, and collaboration across mission-focused teams.

Design, train, and optimize high-performance ML/AI models and inference pipelines for remote sensor (OPIR) data. Integrate models into production Linux-based systems, collaborate with C++ and systems engineers, apply rigorous software engineering and Agile practices, and support missile warning, defense, and sensor-fusion applications.

Design, implement, and optimize high-performance C++ software for remote sensor data processing (OPIR) on Linux. Develop image analysis, detection, and tracking algorithms; improve scalability and reliability; participate in code reviews, integration, testing, and Agile development; collaborate with algorithms, systems, and integration teams.

Perform application security analysis using automated and manual techniques (SAST, SCA, fuzzing, code reviews), integrate and tune security tooling in CI/CD pipelines, support developers with remediation, conduct threat modeling and secure design reviews, document findings, and embed security into the development lifecycle for mission-critical defense software.

Perform automated and manual application security analysis (SAST, SCA, fuzzing, code reviews), integrate and tune security tooling in CI/CD/DevSecOps pipelines, support developers with remediation and secure design, conduct threat modeling, document findings, and stay current on vulnerabilities and mitigation strategies.

Lead systems engineering for defense sensor data processing: implement IEEE 15288-aligned MBSE, derive and trace requirements, analyze standards/ICDs, support testing and certification, design architectures, mentor staff, and produce systems engineering artifacts.

Lead application security efforts: perform automated and manual analyses (SAST, SCA, fuzzing, code reviews), integrate and tune security tooling in CI/CD/DevSecOps pipelines, support developers on secure design and remediation, lead threat modeling and documentation. Work on mission-critical DoD software; must be U.S. citizen and able to obtain DoD Secret clearance.

Design, build, and maintain a developer platform and CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI) to enable secure automated deployments using Kubernetes and Helm. Integrate pipelines with artifact management, testing, code quality, and security scanning. Monitor, troubleshoot, and operate critical infrastructure like CI/CD systems and artifact repositories, and document infrastructure changes for stakeholders.

Lead CrowdStrike implementation and integration across on-prem and cloud environments; harden servers, networks, and storage; support vulnerability management and SIEM development; drive CMMC/NIST 800-171 compliance; assist incident response and forensic readiness; communicate risks and remediation to leadership.

Design, maintain, and improve CI/CD pipelines and automated deployments using GitLab CI, Kubernetes, Helm, and related tooling. Integrate artifact management, testing, security scanning, and vulnerability remediation. Manage release processes, troubleshoot deployments, and ensure secure coding and cybersecurity protocols for DoD-focused software delivery.

Develop and optimize high-throughput C++ algorithms for remote sensor data exploitation (image analysis, detection, tracking). Prototype, integrate, and test software within government frameworks as part of an Agile team. Work full-time in-person in Boulder, CO and obtain/maintain DoD security clearance.
