Broomfield, CO
Outside Analytics has recently become a proud subsidiary of SMX, marking an exciting collaboration that enhances our collective capabilities to deliver cutting‑edge digital transformation solutions. We are on the ground floor of helping across the future remote‑sensing ecosystem across all orbital regimes (LEO, MEO, HEO, and GEO). We build, integrate, and operationally support our customer's emerging space‑ground systems to include real‑time data processing frameworks, sensor data processing, and data visualization.
The remote sensing world is expanding and we're building our team to grow with it. This immediate opportunity is for a highly skilled Algorithm Developer and State Estimation Engineer who will support a combination of direct customer programs and internal research and development efforts.
Position is Hybrid – ~3 days a week onsite in Broomfield, CO (schedule may flex depending on customer needs). Infrequent travel to customer sites may be required.
Responsibilities
Design, develop and implement guidance, navigation, and control algorithms for various remote sensing applications, including kinematic tracking and data fusion.
Design, develop, and implement state estimation algorithms, including Kalman Filters, Extended Kalman Filters (EKF), and Unscented Kalman Filters (UKF).
Develop sensor fusion algorithms to integrate data from multiple sensors of varying phenomena; analyze observability, stability, and convergence properties of estimation algorithms.
Design and develop tools and simulations for data generation and algorithm development.
Participate in technical discovery to understand and translate customer desires and requirements.
Work closely with software and systems engineering teams using an Agile development process.
Collaborate with senior systems engineers to discover requirements and shape program execution kickoff.
Leverage technical expertise to generate a Basis of Estimate (BOE) for a scope of work.

Strong understanding of 6‑DoF concepts and frame transformations.
Expertise in sensor fusion and multi‑sensor integration techniques.
Ability to identify, research, and implement sensor data processing and tracking algorithms to meet customer needs.
Proficiency in Python.
Clear verbal and written communication skills with development team members.
Desired Skills & Experience
Interim DoW Secret clearance or higher preferred.
Proficiency in C++ for algorithm implementation.
Experience with real‑time processing and embedded systems.
Experience with FPGA development and deployment.
General knowledge of Systems Engineering practices, Product Management, and Agile development methodologies.
