Signal Processing Engineer
Our Portland office is seeking a Signal Processing Engineer to be part of a strong team of scientists, engineers, and operations experts in pursuit of applied research and development of effective and efficient solutions for real-world National Security System problems. The core focus of this position is on the development of advanced algorithms for processing underwater acoustic sensor data, and building innovative user interfaces for sonar operators. This will support projects involving technology areas such as target detection/classification/localization (DCL), phased array design/processing (beamforming), statistical and adaptive signal processing, and machine learning.
We are looking for a creative, out-of-the-box thinker, who is excited about working on fun yet challenging signal processing problems.
