Space Sensing AI/ML Researcher -AFRL/RVSU
Job OverviewThis anouncement will be accepting candidate submissions from July 11, 2023, to August 14,2023.
A focus of this position is to develop and demonstrate automated/autonomous data processing, decision making, information communication, and sensor network tasking workflows in order to evaluate the performance of existing sensor designs, as well as to guide the development of new sensing concepts, for space-based surveillance in challenging environments.
In addition to developing strategies for automated/autonomous sensing, this position conducts technical efforts that analyze, validate, and assess the quality and latency of information that is derived from diverse sensor data sets.
This position works closely with an advanced electro-optical and infrared (EO/IR) sensor development team that is conceptualizing and prototyping state-of-the art space-based surveillance technologies.
There is opportunity to collaborate across a diverse group of teams within AFRL, with other government, industry, and academic entities in the space community, contributing to sensor development from R&D through design, build, test, launch, and flight.
The selected candidate would have opportunity to communicate progress to audiences both verbally at technical conferences and in writing for high-impact scientific journals.
Candidate would lead or contribute to drafts and revision of technical reports, papers, articles, presentations and summaries on R&D activities and related efforts.
