• At least three years of experience developing computer vision or image processing algorithms.
• Experience working with remote sensing imagery, including electro-optical (EO), infrared (IR), or other satellite-based sensor data.
• Experience implementing algorithms for object detection, segmentation, tracking, image registration, or feature extraction.
• At least one year of experience developing GPU-accelerated algorithms using NVIDIA CUDA, including implementation or optimization of GPU computations.
• Proficiency developing scientific and image processing software in Python using libraries such as NumPy, SciPy, or OpenCV.
• Mastery of software configuration management using Git.
• Active Top Secret security clearance.

Nice To Haves

• Master of Science in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or a related discipline.
• Experience developing and optimizing CUDA C/C++ kernels, including GPU memory management and performance profiling.
• Familiarity with GPU-accelerated computing libraries such as CuPy, Numba, or PyTorch.
• Experience with OPIR imagery processing, exploitation, or analysis.
• Expertise in classical computer vision, signal processing, or machine learning techniques applied to remote sensing.
• Experience developing modular, reusable software using strong object-oriented software development practices.
• Experience with container technologies such as Docker or Podman and GitFlow or GitOps workflows.

Responsibilities

• Develop and optimize computer vision and image processing algorithms for remote sensing imagery.
• Accelerate computationally intensive algorithms using NVIDIA CUDA and GPU computing.
• Translate research algorithms into efficient, reliable, and maintainable software.
• Communicate effectively with peers and decision makers.
• Demonstrate initiative when working with limited guidance or ambiguous requirements.

Benefits

• Flexible time off totaling 36 days per year, with no questions asked.
• 100% company 401(k) match up to IRS annual limits.
• Health plan through Blue Cross Blue Shield with a Health Savings Account; the company pays 95% of employee premiums, including family plans.
• Tech and Wellness reimbursement of $3,000 per year.
• Annual profit sharing as a 401(k) contribution, dependent on annual company performance and above the 401(k) match.
• MacBook laptop and well-equipped office spaces.
