STR’s Intelligence Division researches, develops, and transitions advanced analytics and machine-learning solutions for challenging national-security problems. Our team includes engineers and researchers with advanced backgrounds in engineering, computer science, mathematics, and data science who apply deep technical expertise and creativity to mission-critical challenges.
Our work spans data analysis, deep learning, and statistical methods across networking, communications, social media, text, time series, geospatial, and imagery data. We develop capabilities under constraints not typically encountered in commercial environments. U.S. Government analysts use our tools and technologies to extract, enrich, and act on intelligence information worldwide.
As a Lead Applied AI Engineer, you will lead the technical development and delivery of RF AI/ML-based tools, algorithms, and software integrated with physical hardware, sensors, and compute, focusing on Radio Frequency (RF) communications, Open RAN, 5G/6G communications, waveform generation/adaptation, and wireless communications and networking infrastructure. You will lead the design, implementation, integration, test, demonstration, and transition of mission-relevant software spanning data processing, AI/ML models, communications services, and edge or on-premises compute environments.
You will own technical delivery for an assigned project or major subsystem, translating mission needs into executable plans and guiding architecture, implementation, integration, verification, and transition. You will work closely with software engineers, systems engineers, RF/communications researchers, DevSecOps personnel, and mission partners to develop scalable, secure, maintainable capabilities for complex customer environments.
This is a technical leadership role. You will define and decompose technical work, lead assigned engineers and contributors, manage technical interfaces and risks, and communicate progress, decisions, and tradeoffs to the Principal Investigator, project team, and mission partners.
