Deep Learning Architecture: Architect, design, and train advanced deep neural networks (e.g., CNNs, Transformers, R-CNN variants) specifically optimized for object detection, classification, and tracking across multi-modal sensor inputs (e.g., High-resolution Optical, SAR, Radar).
Sensor Fusion Expertise: Lead the development and implementation of advanced sensor fusion algorithms, including extended and unscented Kalman Filtering and particle filters, to reliably correlate and maintain track continuity from disparate, asynchronous data sources (e.g., Radar + Electro-Optical/IR + ADS-B).
Optimization for Edge Compute: Conduct model optimization, pruning, and quantization techniques to achieve ultra-low-latency inference (sub-10ms) required for deployment on specialized, resource-constrained edge compute hardware .
Synthetic Data Generation: Work directly with forensic data scientists to conceptualize and develop tooling to generate high-fidelity synthetic training scenarios to effectively address data sparsity for rare, critical threat events.
Full ML Lifecycle Management: Oversee the model experimentation, versioning, quality assurance (QA), and transition process into the MLOps pipeline maintained by the DevSecOps team.
Technical Leadership: Manage multiple, concurrent AI research and development assignments, providing technical guidance, code review, and mentorship to junior engineers within the AI/ML Squad.
