About the Team
STR’s Analytics Division develops novel technologies to solve challenging national security problems through advanced analytics. Our team consists of passionate, motivated individuals with degrees in engineering, computer science, mathematics, physics, and data science. We use our expertise and creativity to take innovative ideas from conception to mature implementation in order to improve mission success of our customers.
The Collaborative Autonomy and Controls (CAC) Group in the Analytics Division is focused on collaborative autonomy for multi-agent reconnaissance systems operating in multiple domains. By leveraging expertise with machine learning, advanced algorithms, and software development best practices, we build tools that can make a difference in mission planning, autonomous systems reasoning, tracking of illicit activities, and more.
The Role:
Work as part of a tightly knit team to design, develop, implement, and demonstrate advanced algorithms and software systems. Provide technical leadership and mentoring on programs working throughout the software lifecycle, from early prototypes to integrated systems. Provide overall software product ownership and quality assurance for an end program software solution or group software product line. Work on a diverse set of applications, including software for distributed mission planning and autonomous reasoning for both manned and unmanned platforms. Conduct software design and code reviews as part of an agile development process.
This position is based in one of our offices (Woburn, MA or Arlington, VA) but will take advantage of STR’s flexible, hybrid environment – when the work does not require use of STR’s facilities, you are welcome to work remotely.
