The mission of the Data & Analytics group is to build high-quality ground software systems that deliver data and analytics to our customers and to establish software development best practices for the company.

HE360 is currently seeking a Data Scientist to develop the next generation of cutting-edge capabilities and algorithms that extract actionable insights from complex data sources.

Reporting to the Director of Data Science, the Data Scientist will be responsible for leveraging their RF domain knowledge, data science and engineering skills to develop and maintain new capabilities and products at Hawkeye 360. They will receive direction from the Director of Data Science and a principal team member, with a focus on improving algorithms, systems, and capabilities that provide Hawkeye 360 customers with crucial intelligence and insights used by the US government and international allies.

The right candidate must be an open-minded creative problem solver who understands the structure of RF data, the systems that generate it, and how people use it. They will have experience leveraging concepts and algorithms from signal processing, statistics, machine learning, AI, etc., to solve real world problems. The candidate will work in a cross-functional environment, interacting with people across the technical spectrum, from algorithms and data engineering teams to intelligence analysts, product owners, and program managers to develop, productionize, and maintain new capabilities. The role will consist of implementing, testing, and scaling of signal processing algorithms and ML solutions on compute clusters. Additionally, the candidate will carry out studies and analysis of data to better understand product performance and drive future development. They will support debugging and maintenance of existing and future systems while documenting and presenting their work to team-mates and stakeholders. Furthermore, the candidate will develop KPIs, reporting/monitoring and integration/system tests for products and systems.

As the Data Scientist, your main responsibilities will be:
