We're not hiring for a specific role. We're hiring for a mindset.
If you're an engineer who:
Gets excited about sensor processing (any sensors, any types of signals)
Regularly wonders how to incorporate new paradigms to tackle previously unsolved problems (LVLMs? Agents? RL? Quantum? What's next?)

What You Bring (The Essentials):
A deep-seated passion for solving hard problems.
An active TS/SCI clearance and U.S. Citizenship.
A collaborative spirit and a drive to learn from and teach others.
And Expertise in One or More of These Areas:
We don't expect you to be an expert in everything.
We're looking for people who have a center of gravity in one of these areas and are excited to learn about the others.
Software Engineering: Writing clean, robust, and efficient code.
AI/ML Development: Building, training, and deploying models using frameworks like PyTorch or TensorFlow. Experience with RF, CV, or NLP is a major plus.
Signal Processing: A strong theoretical and practical understanding of digital signal processing (DSP) for communications, RADAR, or other sensor systems.
Systems Engineering & DevOps: Designing and maintaining complex systems, whether on cloud platforms (AWS, Azure) or on-premise hardware.
Embedded Systems: Developing and optimizing software for resource-constrained edge devices (e.g., FPGAs, GPUs, SoCs).
What You Get:
A front-row seat to the future of defense tech
A culture that values experimentation, iteration, and the occasional bad pun
The chance to work with people who believe in what they do-and have fun doing it
Ready to explore, experiment, and expand? Join Expedition!
