Job Description
deciBel Research has an immediate opening for a Remote Sensing Software Engineer in Dayton, OH.
Position Description
deciBel Research is seeking a Remote Sensing Software Engineer to architect advanced SDA and remote sensing exploitation pipelines, guide technical direction, and lead multi-disciplinary teams building high-fidelity space observation analytics. You will shape next‑generation tools that integrate imaging physics, ML-based behavior inference, and multi‑sensor fusion.
Responsibilities Include
Architect end‑to‑end remote sensing processing systems for EO/IR missions
Lead development of radiometric and spectral response models
Oversee advanced imaging algorithms including multi-frame super-resolution, deconvolution, target phenomenology detection, and low-SNR enhancement
Direct ML‑based anomaly detection, behavior classification, and object discrimination frameworks
Design multi-sensor fusion pipelines integrating GEOINT, Radar, RF, and optical data using Bayesian or ML-based methods
Lead trajectory estimation and 3D kinematic modeling, including IOD, parallax exploitation, and uncertainty quantification
Architect scalable scientific computing solutions using Python, C++, CUDA, HPC clusters, or cloud-native platforms
Collaborate with other engineers and help set technical road maps in collaboration with client and mission leadership
Education Requirements
BS in Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Software Engineering or related field
Experience Requirements
3+ years of experience in remote sensing, image/signal processing, or GEOINT data exploitation
Experience with orbital mechanics, satellite characterization, Domain-specific applications or SDA operational workflows
Experience with Python, scientific Python packages or other Object-oriented programming languages such as C++ or JavaScript
Experience architecting with large-scale software environments (such as CUDA, HPC or cloud)
Experience with ML systems for imagery processing, target detection, tracking, or object classification
TS/SCI clearance, and willingness to take a polygraph
Special Skills Desired
Experience with remote sensing systems in support of missile warning/tracking missions
Experience with building/training synthetic models for simulation‑aided training
Experience integrating EO/IR, RF, Radar, or GEOINT tracks into fused solutions
Record of publications, whitepapers, presentations or mission briefings
Experience with uncertainty quantification, Kalman filtering, or tracking algorithms
Experience with AI‑augmented development workflows or agentic tools
Master's degree or Ph.D. in Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Software Engineering or related field
Applicant selected must have an active Top Secret/SCI security clearance, with ability to take a polygraph. Must be a U.S. Citizen.
