Algorithm Engineer

APOGEE RESEARCH LLC•Arlington, VA

13h•$121,933 - $265,200•Onsite

About The Position

Apogee Research is hiring algorithm engineers to design, implement, and validate algorithms across domains including networking, distributed data fusion and resource management, distributed electronic warfare, and distributed Command and Control (C2). The work supports composable, resilient systems operating at scale in contested and resource-constrained environments, using custom software toolchains and feedback control to adapt dynamically to changing conditions. The role calls for a combination of academic theory and practical application of relevant algorithms, with a track record of applying research techniques to real-world problems. This is not an entry-level position and requires real-world experience. Although the role is not primarily software development, software development experience is strongly preferred. The position is full-time and in person at Apogee Research’s Arlington, Virginia office. Applicants must be U.S. citizens and eligible to obtain a DoD Top Secret clearance; an existing Top Secret clearance is extremely desirable. Compensation is listed by level: Senior, $121,933–$182,900; Principal, $153,818–$265,200. The posting also notes that candidates may be evaluated outside these ranges based on their value to the organization.
