Advanced Physicist, Lead

Job Number: R0251388 Advanced Physicist, Lead The Opportunity As an Advanced Physicist, you will architect advanced SDA and remote sensing exploitation pipelines, guide technical direction, and lead multidisciplinary teams building highfidelity space observation analytics. You will shape nextgeneration tools that integrate imaging physics, MLbased behavior inference, and multisensor fusion. You'll join a collaborative technical delivery team where you'll contribute to secure, reliable, usercentric tools that accelerate mission outcomes. What You'll Do: - Architect endtoend remote sensing processing systems for EO/IR missions - Lead development of radiometric and spectral response models - Oversee advanced imaging algorithms including multi-frame super-resolution, deconvolution, target phenomenology detection, and low-SNR enhancement - Direct MLbased anomaly detection, behavior classification, and object discrimination frameworks - Design multi-sensor fusion pipelines integrating GEOINT, Radar, RF, and optical data using Bayesian or ML-based methods - Lead trajectory estimation and 3D kinematic modeling, including IOD, parallax exploitation, and uncertainty quantification - Architect scalable scientific computing solutions using Python, C++, CUDA, HPC clusters, or cloud-native platforms - Mentor junior engineers and help set technical road maps in collaboration with client and mission leadership Join us. The world can't wait. You Have: - 8+ years of experience in remote sensing, image or signal processing, or GEOINT data exploitation - Experience with orbital mechanics, satellite characterization, Domain-specific applications or SDA operational workflows - Experience with Python, scientific Python packages, or Object-oriented programming languages, such as C++ or JavaScript - Experience architecting with large-scale software environments, such as CUDA, HPC or cloud - Experience with ML systems for imagery processing, target detection, tracking, or object classification - Experience with administration of continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines using Kubernetes, Docker, or Jenkins - Active TS/SCI clearance; willingness to take a polygraph exam - Bachelor's degree in a STEM field Nice If You Have: - Experience with remote sensing systems in support of missile warning or tracking missions - Experience with building or training synthetic models for simulationaided training - Experience integrating EO/IR, RF, Radar, or GEOINT tracks into fused solutions - Experience with uncertainty quantification, Kalman filtering, or tracking algorithms - Experience with AIaugmented development workflows or agentic tools - Ability to display a record of publications, whitepapers, presentations or mission briefings - Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Physics, Mathematics or a related field preferred; Doctorate degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Physics, Mathematics or a related field a plus **Clearance:**Applicants selected will be subject to a security investigation and may need to meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information; TS/SCI clearance is required.
