Have you considered the military, intelligence, and civilian capabilities that are possible with the proliferation of low-cost sensing, computing, and control technologies? Are you interested in developing, defending, and defeating systems of these technologies to solve real-world challenges? If you're excited to work in the field of Cyber-Physical Systems, our team of engineers and developers is excited to talk! We are seeking Cyber-Physical System developers to help us deliver and contend with emerging intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and targeting (ISR&T) capabilities. Wait… what in the world is a Cyber-Physical System (CPS)? There are lots of examples of CPS, but we are concerned with devices that autonomously sense, process information, and interact with the physical world. Our teams build CPS prototypes that use these capabilities to provide exquisite situational awareness to users in the defense, security, and health sectors. We employ a wide range of ground breaking technologies from machine learning to autonomous platforms to power our solutions. Meanwhile, we also help our sponsors understand and counter the threats posed by the proliferation of CPS technology being employed by our adversaries.

  • Support and lead the development of CPS systems that range from tiny autonomous sensors to entire 'smart' environments.
  • Evaluate CPS systems to assess their capabilities/limitations in light of real-world applications.
  • Conceive and implement novel methods to strengthen or impair the functionality of existing and emerging CPS.
  • Propose and defend groundbreaking concepts involving the application, defense, and/or defeat of CPS.
  • Explore opportunities to translate findings into white papers, proposals, and presentations/publications.
  • Graduating with a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Software Engineering, Data Science or a related field.
  • Proficient in software development using Python, C, C++, and/or Javascript for Windows and Linux operating systems.
  • Experience with general purpose data manipulation and analysis packages such as NumPy, Pandas, OpenCV, etc.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Able to obtain Interim Secret level security clearance by your start date and can ultimately obtain TS/SCI level clearance.
  • Knowledgeable in sensing technologies and data processing from devices such as 2D/3D cameras, microphones, passive infrared (PIR) sensors, etc.
  • Familiar with wired and wireless network monitoring techniques including sniffing, probing/scanning, device mapping, and visualization tools.
  • Experience with machine learning applications on cyber and/or physical data using common frameworks such as TensorFlow, Pytorch, or MXNet.
  • Full stack software development for desktop and cloud environments, including familiarity with common cloud architectures such as AWS and GCP.
  • Front-end user interface development using languages/frameworks such HTML/CSS, React, and/or Vue.js.
  • Back-end development for large-scale data curation and analysis using tools such as PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Docker, Kubernetes, Kafka, and/or Redis.
  • Software development for edge computing devices, such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or NVIDIA Jetson platforms.
  • Mobile application development for Android and/or iOS environments.
  • Generous benefits including a robust education assistance program.
  • Unparalleled retirement contributions.
  • Healthy work/life balance.
  • Comprehensive benefits package including retirement plans, paid time off, medical, dental, vision, life insurance, short-term disability, long-term disability, flexible spending accounts, education assistance, and training and development.
