Full Job Description

Awetomaton is seeking a Research Engineer to support the TAP Lab at the Boulder Ground Information Facility (BGIF) in Boulder, Colorado. You will work with a small team to adapt, train, evaluate, and transition a prototype application that detects and separates closely spaced objects in EO/IR imagery. In this role, you will acquire and prepare representative sensor data, evaluate algorithm performance, and adapt the prototype to perform effectively on real-world imagery. You will apply expertise in imagery science, image processing, and machine learning while developing software in Python using NumPy, scikit-image, PyTorch, and modern software engineering practices. The ideal candidate will possess a bachelor's degree or higher in engineering, computer science, physics, mathematics, or a related field, with three to seven years of relevant experience.

This position must be performed on-site at the BGIF in Boulder, Colorado. An active SECRET security clearance is required. The anticipated salary range for this position is $90,000–$155,000 annually. Actual compensation will be determined based on experience, qualifications, skills, and other job-related considerations. We are considering candidates through September, with a planned start date in October 2026.

Criteria for success

Communicate technical results effectively in written and verbal form to engineers, users, and decision-makers.
Demonstrate initiative when working with limited guidance or ambiguous requirements.
Translate operational needs into measurable algorithm requirements and experiments.
Apply sound scientific methods to algorithm development, evaluation, and validation.
Produce clear, reproducible, and maintainable research software.
Collaborate effectively within a small, multidisciplinary team.

Required Experience and Skills

Bachelor of Science in computer science, electrical or computer engineering, physics, mathematics, or a related engineering discipline.
At least three years of experience in image processing, computer vision, machine learning, imagery science, or a related engineering field.
At least one year of professional Python development experience.
Experience developing or evaluating algorithms for EO/IR imagery or comparable sensor data.
Experience using NumPy and at least one image-processing or machine-learning framework.
Experience preparing datasets and quantitatively evaluating algorithm performance.
Proficiency with software configuration management using Git.
Active SECRET security clearance.
Ability to work on-site at the BGIF in Boulder, Colorado.

Desired Education and Experience

Bachelor or Master of Science in computer science, electrical engineering, software engineering, physics, mathematics, or a related discipline.
Experience with OPIR or GEOINT imagery and data exploitation.
Experience developing image-processing algorithms with scikit-image.
Experience training, adapting, or evaluating models with PyTorch.
Experience with point-source detection, object separation, image segmentation, or related techniques.
Experience with sensor calibration, image correction, noise characterization, or image-quality assessment.
Experience developing modular, reusable software using object-oriented design practices.
Familiarity with Protocol Buffers, container technologies, Kubernetes, and operational software deployment.
Experience with Docker, Podman, or similar container technologies.
