Remote Feature Producer Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Clearance Level:

US Citizenship: Required

Job Classification: Full Time

Location: Remote

Years of Experience: 10+ years of relevant experience

Education Level: Advanced degree (MS or PhD) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, or a closely related quantitative field. Experience may be considered in place of education requirement.

Briefly Describe the Work:

GITI is seeking a Principal Scientist to serve as the senior technical authority on an R&D program focused on passive RF emitter identification and network analysis from real-time sensor data streams. The Principal Scientist leads independent, hands-on analysis of NDF (Network Description File) sensor datasets, provides technical direction across parallel research threads, and serves as the primary technical advisor to the government sponsor. The role spans the full research lifecycle: formulating hypotheses, writing and executing analytical code in Python and Jupyter notebooks, interpreting and validating results, and communicating findings to both technical peers and non-specialist stakeholders. This is a deeply technical, hands-on position the Principal Scientist conducts analysis directly and does not delegate technical work as a substitute for personal proficiency. The candidate will work within a small, distributed team operating in air-gapped Linux environments on resource-constrained tactical edge hardware, with no cloud computing.

Responsibilities:

• Conduct independent, hands-on data analysis on RF sensor datasets using Python and Jupyter notebooks formulating hypotheses, writing and running analytical code, interpreting results, and producing findings that directly advance program research objectives
• Provide technical advice and research direction across a multidisciplinary team; define analytical objectives, review and validate technical outputs from AI/ML engineers and software developers, and ensure coherence across parallel research threads
• Serve as primary technical advisor to the government sponsor: translate operational requirements into research objectives, communicate findings clearly to non-specialist stakeholders, and maintain program alignment with sponsor priorities through written reports and technical presentations
• Design and execute analytical investigations into RF sensor data quality, emitter behavior, and attribution reliability including characterizing error sources, identifying systematic artifacts, and developing methods to distinguish real physical signatures from sensor or processing artifacts
• Produce technical documentation working notes, research findings, monthly status reports, and briefing materials that accurately represent the scope and confidence level of analytical results

Expert-level career professional recognized as a technical authority in RF systems, signals intelligence, or a closely related applied domain. Exercises broad independent judgment in defining research approach, evaluating methods, and interpreting results. Operates with minimal supervision; accountable for the scientific integrity and practical relevance of program research outputs. Advanced degree (MS or PhD) with 10+ years of hands-on applied R&D experience.

Required Skills:

• 10+ years of hands-on applied R&D experience in RF systems, signals intelligence, electronic warfare, or related domains.
• Proven ability to quickly acquire domain knowledge; specifically in the areas of wireless digital communications and military techniques, tactics, and procedures
• Demonstrated ability to independently develop and execute data analyses in Python or equivalent tools on real sensor datasets; must be capable of writing production-quality analytical code, not merely directing others to do so
• Experience addressing common problems with large quantities of real-world data, such as imputation, noise, bias, and errors
• Track record of working effectively on constrained-hardware edge systems no cloud, no discrete GPU with attention to computational efficiency and multi-core, multi-thread performance on x86 platforms

Desired Skills:

• Deep familiarity with RF signal characteristics, sensor phenomenology, and the interpretation of passive receiver data including recognition of processing artifacts, attribution ambiguities, and the limits of sensor-derived measurements
• Hands-on experience applying machine learning particularly metric learning, deep learning networks, or similarity-learning architectures to RF or time-series signal data, including feature engineering, training pipeline development, and model validation
• Familiarity with TDMA network protocols, emitter identification techniques (CID/PID), and the signal processing challenges of dense, contested electromagnetic environments
• Experience with interferometric direction-finding, TDOA geolocation, or related passive geolocation methods, including practical knowledge of their failure modes and accuracy limitations
• Experience with binary serialization formats (FlatBuffers, Protocol Buffers) and high-throughput sensor data pipelines operating in near-real-time on resource-constrained hardware
• Background in statistical signal processing error ellipses, bearing estimation uncertainty, feature reliability under noise with the ability to distinguish statistically significant findings from artifacts of small sample size or improper normalization

Relevant Certifications:

• Professional certifications in data science, signal processing, or related technical fields. Advanced academic credentials (PhD, MS) in a relevant quantitative discipline are strongly preferred and may substitute for certifications.
