Software Developers - Caltek Staffing

Research Scientists excel at developing state-of-the art algorithms and software that solve scientific problems with real-world applications. Working in small innovative teams, our research scientists build solutions that make a difference. Our research endeavors don't end once we've written a journal or conference paper describing our technology; rather, our work is complete when our technology has been deployed in mission-critical systems and our customers within government and industry are successful

What You Will Do:

• Contribute to the direction of a talented small team with your expertise and ideas;
• Create mathematically principled solutions to some of the world's most challenging information science problems;
• Prototype state-of-the-art algorithms in an agile development environment;
• Prepare real or synthetic data sets to drive learning algorithms, fine tune large-scale AI models, and characterize system performance.
• Implement high-performance software spanning the spectrum from tactical systems to web applications;
• Use high-fidelity modeling and simulation environments, innovative analysis tools, and flexible compute clusters to quantify the benefit of our technology;
• Engage with our customers, to ensure successful outcomes for their mission-critical needs;
• Help your colleagues and customers understand what you're doing and why.

RECOMMENDED BACKGROUND AND EXPERIENCE
