Job description
from Johns Hopkins APL careersAre you passionate about modeling and analyzing complex operational environments to explore innovative ways of creating impactful information from a wide-ranging ensemble of sensors and sources of data?
Do you want to advance US capabilities in Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Targeting and Battle Management Command and Control (BMC2)?
If so, the ISR and Targeting Applications Group at the Applied Physics Lab is looking for you!
We are seeking a creative engineer and/or quantitative analyst to join our team and help us conceptualize, develop, test, assess, and field the next generation of ISRT, Counter-ISRT and BMC2 capabilities. Our dedicated team of engineers and analysts apply multidisciplinary fields such as sensor and data fusion, signal and image processing, operations research, applied physics, 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 is sophisticated, engaging, and frequently has significant impact enabling the US military to neutralize a wider variety of serious threats from safer distances than they could otherwise accomplish; improving the safety, survivability, and effectiveness of US air, naval, and ground forces; and disrupting the ability of potential adversaries to threaten our forces.
