Our Sensemaking and Autonomous Control (SMAC) group is seeking experienced professionals for exciting technology development positions in its Cambridge MA or Rosslyn VA office. The successful candidate will be self-motivated with an ability to work independently, solve solving complex technical challenges as a member of a multi-disciplinary team, and support business growth opportunities. If you enjoy working in a culture that emphasizes innovation, teamwork, and technical excellence in a collegial work environment that values creativity and initiative, we'd like to hear from you. Unlike other small business defense research companies, BBN is uniquely positioned to collaborate and transition technology within greater RTX. When our goals are aligned, we support greater RTX in the actualization of our key insights into next generation products. The following position is to join our BBN SMAC team: What You Will Do: In support of chiefly DoD and Intelligence Community missions, BBN’s Sensemaking and Autonomous Control (SMAC) group specializes in the development and deployment of cutting-edge, trustworthy, third-wave Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions to enable the advanced machine reasoning needed for autonomous and trusted systems of tomorrow. The SMAC group works challenging, often resource constrained (e.g. edge computing), inference and optimization problems collaboratively with sensor, hardware, and platform providers to coordinate and/or synergize assets. The group blends classical optimization, probabilistic, model-based estimation and control, computer vision, and physics-based approaches with AI architectures for supervised learning and deep reinforcement learning to provide performant, robust, and trustworthy solutions. You will support SMAC in developing novel analytics and algorithms to address complex, open-ended, DoD and intelligence problems requiring unprecedented speed, performance, and trustworthiness. You will work with globally recognized R&D leaders in their field to develop the technologies of tomorrow for our defense and intelligence communities. You will be work side by side with leading scientists, engineers, and program managers of all levels to enable tactical and strategic decision-making using Python, Java, C, and/or C++. You will work with senior and junior technical staff to grow our business with both current and new customers.
