Entry Level Bloomberg Software Engineer Jobs in Denver, CO

Space is a warfighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it. OUR MISSION True Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority. We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors - enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground. OUR VALUES * Be the offset. We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity. * What would it take? We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results. * It's the people. Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together. YOUR MISSION You'll work on hybrid perception systems combining classical computer vision with modern deep learning for autonomous spacecraft: building multi-object tracking pipelines that fuse neural network detections with Kalman filtering, developing coordinate transformation chains from pixels to orbital frames, training models on synthetic space imagery, and deploying algorithms onboard under strict compute/power constraints.
Your work enables spacecraft to detect objects against star fields, track multiple targets through occlusions, discriminate threats from decoys, and generate angle measurements for navigation - using both classical geometric methods and learned representations where each approach excels. This is entry-level work blending traditional robotics perception with modern ML. You'll implement Extended Kalman Filters, train neural networks in PyTorch, write C++ flight code, and see your algorithms operate in orbit. This is a 3 month temporary employment engagement. There is potential to convert to regular employment based on performance and business need.
