About The Position

Northrop Grumman Mission Systems is seeking a Signal/Image Processing Engineer to support sensor exploitation activities in its Artificial Intelligence and Analytics department in Woodland Hills, California. The role is part of a team of signal/image processing engineers, systems engineers, and software engineers developing signal and image processing algorithms and software. The engineer will develop and prototype new algorithms or enhancements, refine algorithms using program databases, and collaborate with software engineers implementing algorithms in configured software products. The work uses classical signal processing techniques, with supported programs increasingly valuing and using AI/ML-based algorithms. The position requires an active Top Secret clearance and full-time onsite work in Woodland Hills. The role may involve travel 10% of the time, and relocation assistance may be available. This position is contingent on successful transfer of an active U.S. Government Top Secret Clearance and meeting customer-specific security screening requirements within a management-set timeframe.

• Familiarity with current AI/ML techniques.

Responsibilities

• Introduce and develop new algorithm components for exploiting signal and image data.
• Apply classical signal/image processing and/or machine learning algorithms to large structured and unstructured datasets to address problems including pattern recognition, target detection and tracking, and false alarm mitigation.
• Work with software engineers to ensure implemented algorithms are correct, robust, and maintainable.
• Design a robust test suite.
• Create presentation materials to explain and document work, and present to internal and external stakeholders.

Benefits
