Job Description
Castelion is seeking an ATR Algorithm Engineer to design, implement, and validate next-generation automated target recognition (ATR) algorithms for advanced missile systems.

Requirements

  • Develop ATR algorithms across EO/IR and SAR, including preprocessing, feature extraction, classification, and tracking.
  • Create, label, and curate datasets from simulations, ground tests, and flight events; define truth-modeling and scoring frameworks.
  • Implement traditional and ML-based approaches (classical ML, CNNs, transformers) for detection, discrimination, and target-type classification.
  • Integrate ATR algorithms with seeker hardware, GNC components, and real-time embedded flight software.
  • Define algorithm-level requirements, performance metrics, and evaluation methodology across environmental and engagement conditions.
  • Conduct Monte Carlo simulations and scenario sweeps to quantify robustness, uncertainty, and mission-level effectiveness.
  • Support flight-test planning, data ingestion, analysis, and post-mission performance reporting.
  • Collaborate closely with GNC, Software, Systems Engineering, and Sensors/Seeker teams to ensure end-to-end integration and mission performance.

Benefits

  • Long-term stock incentives
  • Comprehensive medical, vision, and dental insurance
  • Four weeks of paid time off per year
