Responsibilities
Design tracking and fusion algorithms for autonomous aircraft systems including F16 fighter jets, group 1-5 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), as well as simulated models to accomplish tactical military missions. This includes multiagent collaborative sensing for the creation of a real-time operating picture. This includes implementing robust solutions capable of producing actionable information as part of the find, fix, track, and target (F2T2) chain
Develop and support state estimation and sensor fusion capabilities. This includes uncertainty quantification, observability analysis, techniques for fusing information with unknown statistical correlation, sensor modeling, and calibration procedures
Collaborate with autonomy engineers to implement algorithms and create production software. This includes proficiency in C++ and Python and being comfortable with rigorous code reviews in fast paced environments
Interface with and support autonomy loops such as: “Sense, Make Sense, Decide, Act (SMDA)”, “Observe, Orient, Decide, Act (OODA)” loops., “Perceive, Decide, Act’ (PDA)” loops.
Apply expertise in geo-referenced coordinate frames (such as WGS-84), terrain databases, local and custom reference frames, coordinate frame transformations, and deriving state dynamics for quantities expressed in non-inertial reference frames
Calculate and evaluate tracker and target state estimation performance according to key metrics
Support live flight test of autonomy software on F16s, group 1-5 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)
Support development for both near-term program deliverables and long-term technology product maintenance
Collaborate with 3rd party UAS vehicle vendors on the integration of EpiSci autonomy software onto OEM UAS hardware
