Algorithm Engineer

APOGEE RESEARCH LLC•Arlington, VA

About The Position

Apogee Research is at the forefront of a revolution in how the DoD operates: a turn towards compositional systems of systems instead of traditional monolithic architectures. This change is driven by a need for faster adaptation to adversarial environments, which requires the ability to field resilient, distributed systems in days to weeks rather than months to years. To create composable systems that operate resiliently at scale in contested and resource constrained environments, we combine custom software toolchains with feedback control to dynamically adjust to ever changing environments. We currently have openings for algorithm engineers to design, implement, and validate new algorithms across multiple domains including networking, distributed data fusion and resource management, distributed electronic warfare, and distributed Command and Control (C2).

Requirements

Understanding of probability and statistics is required.
Demonstrated understanding of how to characterize the open-loop and close-loop stability of nonlinear systems via analysis, simulation, and experimentation is a strong plus.
Qualified candidates should have a mix of academic theory and real-world applications of relevant algorithms, combined with a track record of applying research techniques to real-world problems.
This is not an entry level position and real-world experience is required.
Some software development experience is strongly preferred.
Must be a US citizen to apply.
Must be eligible to obtain a DoD Top Secret clearance.

Nice To Haves

Experience with control systems is desired.
Existing DoD Top Secret clearance is strongly preferred.

Responsibilities

Design, implement, and validate new algorithms across multiple domains including networking, distributed data fusion and resource management, distributed electronic warfare, and distributed Command and Control (C2).
