Engineer - Scientific Applications for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance

Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory•Laurel, MD

5h•$23 - $48

About The Position

Do you want to work on a team researching and developing innovative ways to produce impactful information from many different types of sensors and sources of data? Would you like to advance your ideas from concept to prototype to field testing on US military ships, aircraft, satellites, and ground systems? Are you excited about designing systems that will advance our nation's Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities with leading edge technology? If so, and if you are currently pursuing a Bachelor's, Master's or PhD degree in Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Engineering, Physical Science, or other related field, we'd love to have you join our team at APL! We are seeking creative engineers, scientists, mathematicians, and programmers to help us conceptualize, develop, test, assess, and field the next generation of ISR capabilities for the US military. Our team applies disciplines such as sensor and data fusion, signal and image processing, operations research, applied physics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to build systems that automatically or autonomously orchestrate sensors, process data into information, and make intelligent inferences and predictions about complex threats and environments. Our work enables the US military to neutralize a wider variety of serious threats from safer distances than they could otherwise accomplish; improves the safety, survivability, and effectiveness of US air, naval, and ground forces; and disrupts the ability of potential adversaries to threaten our forces.
