    Job ID: ATR 17303

    Job Description

    Title: Spectral Algorithm Developer

     

    Eligibility/Clearance: This position requires an active TS/SCI clearance

    Job Description:

    About the Role:

    We are seeking a highly skilled Spectral Algorithm Developer (Senior or

     

    SME level) to lead scientific research, algorithm development, and

     

    implementation efforts focused on material identification using infrared

     

    (IR) spectral data. This role requires a senior-level professional with

     

    expertise in developing methodologies and algorithms for analyzing

     

    spectral signatures and predicting material characteristics.

     

    In this position, you will conduct research, develop proof-of-concept

     

    algorithms, and implement a full processing chain to match sensor data

     

    with a ground-truth database of material signal measurements. Your work

     

    will play a critical role in advancing the accuracy and efficiency of

     

    material identification processes, leveraging cutting-edge technologies

     

    and analytical methods.

    Key Responsibilities:

    - Perform scientific research and proof-of-concept algorithm

     

    development for identifying materials based on IR spectral

     

    signatures.

     

    - Develop and implement Python-based spectral exploitation

     

    methodologies and algorithms.

     

    - Analyze the information content of spectral data across various

     

    resolutions (e.g., total intensity, multi-spectral, hyperspectral).

     

    - Conduct literature reviews and trade studies on the effects of

     

    material coatings and substrates on emissions of materials.

     

    - Design, test, and validate spectral algorithms to predict candidate

     

    material coating/substrate combinations.

     

    - Develop end-to-end processing chains that apply the developed

     

    methodologies to real-world sensor data.

     

    - Document methodologies, findings, and technical details in

     

    comprehensive reports and presentations.

     

    - Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate solutions into

     

    larger systems.

    Qualifications:

    - Education: Bachelor’s degree (B.A./B.S.) in a STEM field (Physics,

     

    Engineering, Computer Science, etc.).

     

    - Experience: 10+ years of relevant experience in spectral data

     

    analysis, algorithm development, or related fields.

     

    - Active TS/SCI clearance with CI polygraph.

     

    - Experience with multi-spectral and hyperspectral imaging techniques

    Required Skills:

    - Proficiency in Python programming for algorithm development and

     

    data analysis.

     

    - Proficiency in scientific computing libraries (e.g., NumPy, SciPy,

     

    Pandas, Matplotlib).

     

    - Expertise in IR spectroscopy and spectral signature analysis.

     

    - Experience designing and implementing processing chains for

     

    scientific or technical applications.

     

    - Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with attention to

     

    detail.

     

    - Excellent technical writing and verbal communication skills.

    Desired (Bonus) Skills:

    - Experience with Hierarchical Data Format (HD5, HDF5, etc.)

     

    containing multidimensional arrays of scientific data.

     

    - Experience with MatLab

     

    - Knowledge of material coatings, substrates, and their effects on

     

    spectral emissions.

     

    - Experience working with large datasets and ground-truth databases.

     

    - Background in software development best practices, including

     

    testing and validation.

     

    - Experience working in an R&D environment
