• Significant experience with Python and C++.
• Comfortable using Linux operating systems and commonly used Linux utilities.
• Some advanced knowledge of computer networking, including TCP/IP networking/OSI model, routing algorithms, Linux networking utilities and interfaces.
• Knowledge and experience with 3D edge object identification, tracking, and inference.
• Experience with computer vision frameworks, software & environments.
• Ability to anticipate strengths and weaknesses of software solutions and perform simulation, testing, and evaluation to quantitatively compare alternative approaches.
• Ability to effectively articulate research and development outcomes to senior staff and customers and act as a technical representative of the team.
• Excellent oral and written communications skills.
• Demonstrated effectiveness in leading, organizing, and executing technical efforts.
• Must be a US Citizen with the ability to obtain, maintain and/or transfer the required security clearance as dictated by the contract

Desired:

• Ph.D. in computer science, computer engineering, or machine learning.
• Experience applying machine learning to signal processing and/or other time-series data analysis applications.
• Experience with probabilistic generative modeling and Bayesian inference.
• Knowledge of or experience with information theory, probability theory, parametric and non-parametric statistical tests.
• Familiarity with concepts and techniques associated with adversarial AI and AI/ML assurance.
• Active Secret or Top Secret clearance preferred.
