Maxar is seeking an independent, creative, and driven Software Developer/Data Scientist to join our team at a Northern VA government customer site. The ideal candidate is passionate about technology and is an expert in computer vision models and other data-driven solutions. Our customers have some of the most interesting needs and hardest challenges to resolve. Our solutions require integrated models based on large and varied datasets, feeding analytic applications so that we can extract patterns and behaviors obscured within the data to augment the capabilities of human operators. We need experienced Software Developers/Data Scientists to work on all stages of the data science pipeline, to include applying existing machine learning software across large hyper-parameter trade spaces, developing new machine learning algorithms, and evaluating the best the commercial AI/ML industry has to offer to our problem set. At Maxar, we build advanced algorithms to gain analytic insights from a large range of open source, commercial, and government data. We enable machine learning models, automate workflow, and design and develop custom applications for unique national security missions. We provide training to expand your skills and a fast-paced, challenging environment to further develop them. Our client's missions are vital to national security, so we're mission-first, always. In this role, you will be responsible for extracting and transforming data using programming languages such as Python and associated open-source data analytics libraries. You will ascertain unique ways to apply algorithms to derive specific customer data analytic results and apply big data analytics tools to large, diverse sets of collection data to assess the risk of adverse threat activities. You will also extend existing algorithms as required to support customer requirements and apply data science methods to create and optimize convolutional neural networks that will perform classification, localization, and segmentation of various modalities of remotely-sensed imagery. Additionally, you will contribute to the development of data analytics, user workflows and interfaces, security authentication, and service call architecture comprising a family of applications in our software suite. You will create rapid prototypes and design and implement complex, cutting-edge systems with a focus on collecting, parsing, managing, analyzing, and visualizing large sets of CV data to extract meaningful knowledge. Finally, you will work with emerging technologies and data science techniques in support of endeavors to address the critical needs of the Intelligence Community, Department of Defense, and other government agencies.
