We're excited to offer a career-defining opportunity for a senior scientist with a deep passion and expertise in computer vision, machine learning, and image processing. Dive into diverse projects, from enhancing autonomous systems to pioneering health diagnostics to impactful image analysis, and lead our drive to deploy intelligent systems that solve real-world challenges.


Example projects you would work on include:

  • Use of innovative AI/ML techniques applied to EO/IR and supporting sensor data to detect, classify, and track objects of interest (e.g., ground vehicles, maritime vessels, ocean mammals, space and airborne platforms) in challenging conditions
  • Sensing and perception capabilities supporting real-time mission-level autonomy systems for air, ground, sea, and space vehicles
  • Vision-based human pose tracking, gesture/action recognition, and 3D human body modeling for collaborative robotic platforms
  • Detecting emerging medical conditions based on sensor data collected from cellphone cameras
  • Neurological state assessment using novel multi-modal physiological sensing algorithms


At Charles River Analytics, you will develop and apply concepts crossing multiple fields including computer vision, machine learning, signal processing, and state estimation. You will work in tightly-knit, project-oriented teams as a Principal Investigator with other scientists and engineers to create prototypes of new research concepts that can be further developed into deployable products. You will have the opportunity to design and execute your own R&D programs and pursue your own technical interests by building a portfolio of new work. You will also have the opportunity to attend conferences, have your work published, and lead efforts to deploy state-of-the-art technology into the field.


How will you make an impact?

  • Design new methods or apply existing methods from the literature to solve challenging problems across a range of sensing and perception-based applications in the applied robotics, overhead sensing, and physiological systems domains
  • Formulate novel concepts including new research thrusts underpinning product roadmaps
  • Guide prototype development while engaging with end-user communities and industry/academic partners to mature the company’s technology for field deployment
  • Coach and mentor other computer vision scientists/engineers
  • Present your work to customers, collaborators, and the research community through papers, reports, and demonstrations
  • Generate proposals for development and deployment of advanced computer vision capabilities


What do you need?

  • B.A./B.S. in Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, or related area. Master’s or Ph.D. in a technical discipline preferred
  • 5+ years in classical computer vision techniques, machine learning methods and tools including deep learning, associated frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, Keras), signal processing modalities (e.g., EO/IR, sonar, radar, lidar, acoustic, LDV), or related. 10+ years of experience preferred.
  • Demonstrated proficiency in hands-on software development, particularly with Python and C++
  • Experience with robotic and autonomous systems
  • Experience directly interacting with customers and users
  • Experience running programs as a principal investigator and generating new business
  • Experience translating user needs and system features into actionable requirements for engineering teams to implement technical solutions
  • Experience generating proposals, publications, and similar written materials
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a knack for tackling complex challenges and crafting innovative solutions
  • Flexibility and a dedication to ongoing learning with an eagerness to keep pace with evolving technology trends
  • Leadership and mentorship qualities with a proven ability to guide projects and nurture the growth of junior team members
  • US Citizenship with an ability to obtain a US Government security clearance
