Job Description

STR’s Analytics & Command & Control (AC2) Division develops novel solutions to the most challenging national security problems through advanced analytics. Our teams consist of motivated individuals with degrees in engineering, computer science, mathematics, physics, and data science. We use our expertise and creativity to take innovative ideas from conception to everyday use by our customers. As part of the Knowledge Exploitation & Decisions Systems Group, you will work at the intersection of AI and human decision-making. Our portfolio is diverse and high-impact, including Command & Control (C2) via intuitive human-machine interfaces that help operators make the best possible decisions in high-pressure environments, Trusted AI & Autonomy via simulation platforms to test AI autonomy and evaluating the reliability and responsibility of autonomous systems, and Advanced Reasoning via graph-based reasoning and evolutionary algorithms for resilient workflow optimization, and enhancing language models to assess the feasibility of scientific claims. Work as part of a tightly knit team to design, develop, implement, and deploy advanced algorithms and software systems. Assist other technical contributors throughout the software lifecycle, from early prototypes to integrated systems. Work on a diverse set of applications, including decision aids for mission planning, information fusion for situational awareness, and novel visualizations to provide decision support to human analysts/planners. This position is based in one of our offices, but will take advantage of STR’s flexible, hybrid environment – when the work does not require use of STR’s facilities, you are welcome to work remotely.
