Cleared Senior Tracking Engineer

General Atomics Integrated Intelligence Inc. (GA-Intelligence) develops cutting-edge software solutions that transform raw data into actionable intelligence. We specialize in real-time global situational awareness and battle management, processing petabytes of data from hundreds of sources across air, land, and sea. Our systems-including the widely used THRESHER and DRAGONSPELL platforms-support tens of thousands of users at all levels of the DoD and Intelligence Community and enable critical decision-making for national security missions.

We process hundreds of thousands of observations per minute, operating at the scale of global sensor networks and battlefield telemetry. Our backend architecture leverages technologies like Kafka, AWS, NiFi, and GeoMesa-the latter of which we designed and open-sourced-to deliver high-throughput, mission-resilient systems that turn streaming data into real-time intelligence.

GA-Intelligence is looking for mid-level Tracking Engineers to revolutionize data fusion for air, maritime, and ground tracking. Harness your skills in algorithms, mathematics, and software engineering to architect innovative data collection, processing, analysis, and visualization solutions. Develop advanced probabilistic tracking solutions to empower real-time situational awareness. Join our growing team and shape the future of tracking and intelligence integration.

Mid-level engineers at GA-Intelligence are trusted contributors who bring solid engineering experience and judgment to every stage of the software lifecycle. You will design, build, and maintain robust backend systems, while collaborating with others to ensure solutions are effective, maintainable, and aligned with mission goals. You'll also play an active role in mentoring junior engineers and shaping technical discussions within your team.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Contribute to development and deployment of tracking systems, ensuring adherence to software compliance standards.
• Develop and maintain robust tracking systems, incorporating advanced state estimation techniques (e.g. Kalman/IMM filters).
• Leverage advanced data fusion techniques to accurately track objects in dynamic environments.
• Mentor junior tracking engineers on current tracking methodologies and best practices.
• Perform in-depth geospatial analysis to uncover patterns and trends.
• Serve as a liaison between technical and non-technical stakeholders, effectively communicating complex technical concepts and requirements as required.
• Document technical concepts, system architectures, and implementation details in a clear and concise manner for both technical and non-technical audiences.

We recognize and appreciate the value and contributions of individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences and welcome all qualified individuals to apply.
