Arlington, Virginia, United States APOGEE RESEARCH LLC Full time

At Apogee Research LLC, we are pioneering new ways to build robust distributed systems designed to operate reliably at scale in complex environments.

We combine custom software toolchains with feedback control to dynamically adjust algorithms based on the environment. This approach enables our engineers to develop innovative solutions for challenging problems.

We are looking for experienced engineers to design and implement new algorithms across various domains including networking, distributed data fusion, and resource management. A background in systems control is particularly relevant to this role.

This is a full-time, on-site position located in Arlington, VA. Existing DoD Top Secret clearance is preferred, but all candidates must be eligible to obtain one and therefore must be US citizens.

Position Responsibilities:
  • Develop algorithms for distributed sensor and C2 networks operating in highly dynamic and uncertain environments.
  • Characterize the stability of nonlinear systems via analysis and experimentation.
  • Work with internal and external teams to implement algorithms in real hardware and demonstrate functionality in lab and flight tests.
  • Support development of software toolchains that enable other contractors and warfighters to leverage feedback control in their applications.
Requirements:
  • 5+ years of experience working with real systems with a focus on controls or algorithmic development.
  • A track record of working in research environments with an ability to understand customer needs and develop operationally relevant systems.
  • Software implementation experience in languages such as C/C++, MATLAB, or Java.
  • A strong understanding of probability and statistics.
  • Demonstrated flexibility and organization in fast-paced environments.
Compensation:

The estimated salary range for this position is $120,000 - $180,000 per year, depending on experience and qualifications.
