Altamira Technologies has a long and successful history providing innovative solutions throughout the U.S. National Security community. Headquartered in McLean, Virginia, Altamira serves the defense, intelligence and homeland security communities by focusing on creating innovative solutions leveraging common standards in architecture, data and security. Altamira believes that our people and the culture of our company differentiate us from other companies.
Altamira is searching for a Remote Sensing Software Engineer with OPIR experience for the NGA RDC Team in the Dayton, Ohio area:
Position Overview:
As a Senior Remote Sensing Software Engineer, you will architect advanced SDA and remote sensing exploitation pipelines, guide technical direction, and lead multi-disciplinary teams building high-fidelity space observation analytics. You will shape next-generation tools that integrate imaging physics, ML-based behavior inference, and multi-sensor fusion.
You'll join a collaborative technical delivery team where you'll contribute to secure, reliable, user-centric tools that accelerate mission outcomes.
Architect end-to-end remote sensing processing systems for EO/IR missions
Lead development of radiometric and spectral response models
Oversee advanced imaging algorithms including multi-frame super-resolution, deconvolution, target phenomenology detection, and low-SNR enhancement
Direct ML-based anomaly detection, behavior classification, and object discrimination frameworks
Design multi-sensor fusion pipelines integrating GEOINT, Radar, RF, and optical data using Bayesian or ML-based methods
Lead trajectory estimation and 3D kinematic modeling, including IOD, parallax exploitation, and uncertainty quantification
Architect scalable scientific computing solutions using Python, C++, CUDA, HPC clusters, or cloud-native platforms
Mentor junior engineers and help set technical road maps in collaboration with client and mission leadership
Required Skills:
8+ years of experience in remote sensing, image/signal processing, or GEOINT data exploitation
Experience with orbital mechanics, satellite characterization, Domain-specific applications or SDA operational workflows
Experience with Python, scientific Python packages or other Object-oriented programming languages such as C++ or Java Script
Experience architecting with large-scale software environments (such as CUDA, HPC or cloud)
Experience with ML systems for imagery processing, target detection, tracking, or object classification
Bachelor's degree in related STEM field
TS/SCI clearance, and willingness to take a polygraph
Desired Skills:
Experience with remote sensing systems in support of missile warning/tracking missions
Experience with building/training synthetic models for simulation-aided training
Experience integrating EO/IR, RF, Radar, or GEOINT tracks into fused solutions
Record of publications, whitepapers, presentations or mission briefings
Experience with uncertainty quantification, Kalman filtering, or tracking algorithms
Experience with AI-augmented development workflows or agentic tools
Master's degree or Ph. D. in Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Software Engineering or related field
