Algorithm & Analysis Engineer (Mid-Level) - SEAL - Open Rank (On with Security Clearance - Smyrna, GA, United States - The Georgia Tech Research Institute
Description
Overview The Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) is the nonprofit, applied research division of the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech).Founded in 1934 as the Engineering Experiment Station, GTRI has grown to more than 2,900 employees, supporting eight laboratories in over 20 locations around the country and performing more than $940 million of problem-solving research annually for government and industry.
GTRI's renowned researchers combine science, engineering, economics, policy, and technical expertise to solve complex problems for the U.Sfederal government, state, and industry
Georgia Tech's Mission and Values Georgia Tech's mission is to develop leaders who advance technology and improve the human condition
The Institute has nine key values that are foundational to everything we do:
Location Smyrna, GA (Metro Atlanta) Project/Unit Description The Sensors & Electromagnetic Applications Laboratory (SEAL) of the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) is seeking engineers and scientists who are interested in a research career focused on the development of modern tracking and sensor fusion algorithms
As a researcher in the Air & Missile Defense Division (AMDD), candidates will support the assessment, improvement, and development of state-of-the-art tracking algorithms applied in Army and Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) radars
Researchers will also focus on the interplay between associated command and control, battle management, and communication systems as part of the BMD tracking enterprise
In supporting this research, candidates will have exposure to all aspects of modern phased array radar systems
At GTRI, candidates have an excellent opportunity to grow technically and to support program management and business development activities as their careers evolve
Job Purpose The Algorithm & Analysis Engineer is responsible for the development and support of state-of-the-art algorithms involving data fusion, sensor fusion, machine learning, manned/unmanned avionics improvement programs, and genetic programming
The Algorithm & Analysis Engineer focuses on the design, analysis, software/hardware implementation, optimization, profiling, and experimental evaluation of computer algorithms, bridging the gap between algorithm theory and practical applications of algorithms in software engineering
Additionally, the Algorithm & Analysis Engineer conducts statistical analysis of multi-modal and time-varying data to characterize and quantify system qualities and deficiencies, resulting in recommendations and development of improvements
