PRINCIPAL ENGINEER - STAFF ENGINEER - Neuromorphic, Cognitive, & AI Research & Development at Southwest Research Institute

Who We Are:

Join Our Team! The Tactical Aerospace team is a premier supplier for avionics and aerospace technology for new and legacy DoD systems. If you like avionics, radar systems, or even supporting EW & SIGINT systems, Tactical Aerospace is the place to be. Tactical Aerospace is also the key research group for cutting edge Neuromorphic and Cognitive AI to apply toward DoD systems. We are on the cutting edge in Neuromorphic/Cognitive AI. Come Join Us! Location is in San Antonio, TX or Dayton, OH.

Objectives of this Role:

• This role is intended to lead our Neuromorphic Computing/Cognitive AI research and development team and will be driving strategies and implementations of our AI solutions to meet our customers’ expectations.
• Support the development, algorithm selection, machine learning (ML), and test of AI as applied to Systems, UAS, Avionics, EW, and/or aerospace subsystems. This includes implementing SNN's onto Neuromorphic hardware (such as Intel's Loihi 2).
• Drive, create, and implement AI deployment strategies
• Perform literature reviews, interface with academic institutions, write proposals and implement/deploy those systems.
• Write code (python, C) to implement AI systems.

Daily and Monthly Responsibilities:

• Develop Solutions for AI systems and embedded aerospace/avionics systems and subsystems. Will work on 2nd and 3rd Gen AI systems (Cognitive & Neuromorphic AI). Will work on Neuromorphic Hardware (Loihi 2).
• Develop Solutions for neuromorphic systems, EW, SigInt, Situational Awareness, Drones (UAS/UAV), Avionics, AI/ML sensor correlation/fusion, etc.
• Perform Neuromorphic AI research, ML, simulations, and integrate onto hardware.
• Act as the departments technical mentor, leading a team in understanding algorithm selection and AI/ML.
• Delegate, assign and prioritize tasks for the neuromorphic AI project team.
• Support business development activities. Will also support non-AI programs.

Requirements:

• Requires a PhD in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, AI, or equivalent.
• 10 years: Experience developing AI and other software in Python, Tensor Flow, Keras, PyTorch, or other AI development environments. Must have experience with appropriate algorithm/method selection. Must have experience in Spiking Neural Networks (SNN).
• Industry development and deployment of AI experience; Experience may be in other industry fields (DoD, Medical, Commercial, etc).
• Experience writing code (Python, C/C++).
• A valid/clear driver's license is required.
