Job description
from Johns Hopkins APL careersAre you interested in researching, developing, and analyzing innovative ways to produce impactful information from many different types of sensors and sources of data?
Would you like to advance your ideas from concept to prototype to field testing on US military ships, aircraft, satellites, and ground systems?
Would you enjoy developing advanced capabilities that will be used by US military personnel to achieve their missions in Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Targeting?
If so, and if you are graduating with a Doctorate degree in a technical field, we'd love to have you join our team at APL!
We are seeking creative engineers, scientists, mathematicians, and programmers to help us conceptualize, develop, test, assess, and field the next generation of ISRT and Counter-ISRT capabilities for the US military. Our team applies disciplines such as sensor and data fusion, signal and image processing, operations research, applied physics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to build systems that automatically or autonomously orchestrate sensors, process data into information, and make intelligent inferences and predictions about complex threats and environments. Our work enables the US military to neutralize a wider variety of serious threats from safer distances than they could otherwise accomplish; improves the safety, survivability, and effectiveness of US air, naval, and ground forces; and disrupts the ability of potential adversaries to threaten our forces.
