Supporting the transition of research algorithms to real-time operational prototypes through coordination with software engineers inside and outside of ARiA
Preparing documentation for customers to summarize design and status of software prototypes and products
Assisting with in-field integration, testing, and support, with some local travel required

Requirements:

Master’s degree or greater (Ph.D. is desirable) in a relevant technical field (Acoustics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or similar) or equivalent professional experience
Appropriate experience working in the field of signal processing in radar or sonar (waveform design, detection and classification, beamforming, etc.) and/or machine learning for acoustic or image data or AI (supervised and unsupervised learning, deep learning, kernel machines, latent semantic analysis, etc.)
Facility designing and developing code in modern programming/scripting languages such as C, C++, Java, Matlab, and Python
Exceptional ability and desire to acquire new knowledge and skills to solve challenges
Ability to work independently but collaboratively
Ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced professional office environment
Ability to communicate technical solutions to colleagues and customers
Superior oral and written communications skills
Applicants selected for employment will be subject to a government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements, including U.S. citizenship, for access to sensitive information

Nice to have:

Knowledge of and experience with signal processing for Navy sonar systems
Experience with GPGPU programing (CUDA, TensorFlow)
