Description
Do you have expertise in research, development, and analysis of
signal or image processing algorithms?Would you like to use your
signal processing experience to help advance U.S. navy
electromagnetic systems for superior defense and national security
missions?If so, we're looking for someone like you to join us at
APL!We are looking for a driven Signal Processing Engineer to join
us in pushing boundaries in digital signal and image processing to
enhance electromagnetic system capabilities in government and
military maritime systems. We are a team of engineers,
mathematicians, and scientists who seek to characterize and
understand digital data in order to detect, classify, and localize
signatures in complex environments. Our group's diverse expertise
enables us to solve a wide range of radar, electronic warfare (EW),
remote sensing, and signal processing problems for maritime
missions. We strive to foster an environment of great diversity,
collaboration, inclusivity, and growth. As a member of the team,
you will use signal processing techniques to create innovative
algorithms, prototypes, and analysis products that provide greater
situational awareness and operational utility to the warfighter.As
a Signal and Image Processing Engineer you will...
- Design, implement, and verify signal or image processing
algorithms to extract information from sensor systems.
- Develop advanced filtering, detection, estimation, tracking,
and classification algorithms using simulated and real data in both
time series and spectral domains.
- Evaluate real-world performance of current algorithms and make
recommendations for further development to improve
performance.
- Combine specialized knowledge and the latest advances in signal
processing to apply fresh perspectives to existing and new
challenges for our sponsors.
- Participate in all aspects of the algorithm development life
cycle, from data curation to deployment to performance
benchmarking.
- Clearly communicate findings through well-written code,
presentations, and technical reports.
- Expand knowledge of electromagnetic systems and domain
expertise.
Qualifications
You meet our minimum qualifications for the job if you...
- Possess a BS degree in electrical engineering, mathematics,
physics, computer science, or other related field.
- Have experience applying signal processing, image processing,
pattern recognition, machine learning, deep learning, or related
techniques with respect to signal extraction from sensors.
- Have prior experience prototyping algorithms using MATLAB or
Python.
- Have proven analytical and problem-solving skills, can work
independently, and will be comfortable working in closed area
facilities.

requirements for access to classified information. Eligibility
requirements include U.S. citizenship.You'll go above and beyond
our minimum requirements if you...
- Have a MS in electrical engineering, mathematics, physics,
computer science, or other related field.
- Have 3 or more years of experience applying signal processing,
pattern recognition, machine learning, deep learning, or related
techniques with respect to information extraction from
electromagnetic systems.
- Have a strong working knowledge of remote sensing phenomenology
and modalities such as EO, IR, SAR, MSI, or radar.
- Have extensive experience build trusting relationships with
technical staff members and collaborating with external DoD or IC
organizations.
- Have solid communication and strong interpersonal skills, and
can write and present technical topics to peers, managers, and
government sponsors.
- Are capable of shepherding algorithms through the full life
cycle from initial conception and prototyping through
high-performance implementation, deployment, benchmarking, and
validation and verification (V&V).
- Have an active TS/SCI.Why work at APL?The Johns Hopkins
