Machine Learning Engineer

Etegent Technologies is a growing aerospace and defense technology company with offices in Cincinnati and Dayton, Ohio. We are a multi-disciplinary mix of engineers, scientists, and management professionals with a passion for developing and commercializing technology solutions that address our customer's most significant challenges and opportunities; we strive to change the way people think and work. Etegent is addressing a range of opportunities in technology areas such as machine learning, intelligence sensor data exploitation for critical national defense needs, high performance computing, high performance motion control, high temperature sensing, and software engineering.

NLign Analytics, our wholly owned subsidiary, provides software and technology solutions to improve the production, maintenance and repair of aircraft and aircraft components for major organizations such as Boeing, Northrop Grumman, the US Air Force, the US Navy and others.

Most importantly to us are our culture and values. Etegent’s and NLign’s cultures embody respect, authenticity, collaboration, flexibility, curiosity, and fun. It is imperative that those who join our team are committed to upholding our culture and valuing the work we do together.

The Position:

Etegent is seeking Machine Learning Engineers (MLE’s) to work with our ISR group based in the Dayton office. MLE’s will work in a team environment with Etegent teammates, customers and other researchers from leading academic institutions, government organizations and commercial entities.

We design and implement solutions in the domain of signal and image processing using statistical pattern recognition and deep learning. We apply these technologies to a variety of sensor data (SAR, ISAR, GMTI, HSI, LIDAR, EO, PIR) that is often in the form of massive, diverse datasets. Our solutions often require real-time exploitation of large frame/high frame rate data on GPU arrays and other optimized, integrated algorithm/software/hardware systems.

The Candidate:

More so than seeking a candidate with specific training and experience, Etegent is seeking a candidate with an innate curiosity and passion for learning and understanding, tempered by a recognition of the pragmatic constraints inherent in developing real solutions to real problems. Etegent needs an MLE who is flexible and adaptable, having the desire and ability to learn new skills and develop new capabilities to take on challenges outside their current realm of experience. We are seeking very sharp, curious, well-rounded, adaptable people who can learn and grow as required to confront the challenges at hand.

Job Responsibilities:

Effectively communicate status updates, and other important information, with the team and group leader.
Gives effective feedback to others; contributes to the writing of project updates and final reports.
Understand, design, and implement state-of-the art machine learning techniques for signature exploitation. This includes traditional feature extraction and deep learning approaches.
Implement efficient signal/image processing techniques including radar signal processing, electro-optical and infrared image processing.
Algorithm development, parallel processing, and large data handling.
Provide expertise in data analytics and algorithm development supporting the integration and analysis of diverse data sources and develop machine learning, data mining and statistical algorithms for pattern recognition and anomaly detection.
Coordinate with teammates and users to instantiate research concepts in efficient, modular, and well-documented software.
Execution of research projects according to a project schedule.
Assist in writing proposals and general business capture activities.

Required Qualifications:

Bachelor’s Degree in the fields of Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, Applied Math, or Statistics.
Previous Machine Learning experience either in an academic or professional setting. We are open to new graduates or seasoned professionals.
Experience with Python, GIT, and Linux.
Applicant must be eligible to receive a U.S. Security Clearance which at a minimum requires applicant to be a US Citizen. See: Executive Order 12968 indicates U.S. Citizenship requirement to obtain a security clearance.

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience with machine learning frameworks (Pytorch, Tensorflow, MXNET).
Experience with remote sensing data products such as SAR, ISAR, EO, GMTI, HSI, LIDAR, SONAR, and OPIR.
Familiarity with AFRL and other DoD/IC programs.
Experience maintaining successful relationships and developing business with R&D customers.
History of technical presentations and publications in relevant fields.
Existing security clearance.

Attributes:

Independent and innovative thinker with an ability to work in an autonomous environment.
Demonstrates curiosity with a focus on innovating solutions for tasks.
Effective communicator who can collaborate with teammates and customers.
Able to take personal ownership and responsibility over their work.
