JOB DESCRIPTION

See what you’re missing. Spanning air, land, sea, and space, we are developing the technology of tomorrow, delivered today. Drawing strength from our differences, we’re innovating for the future. And you can, too.
Our flexible work environment provides you a chance to change the world without giving up your personal life. We put our customers first – exemplified by our mission: “We Protect Those Who Protect Us®.” Sound like a team you want to be a part of? Come build your career with BAE Systems.
In Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) Systems, you’ll help develop systems that sense, control, exploit and disseminate actionable information to warfighters supporting a variety of missions.
The BAE Systems GXP Software Team, based in Durham NC near Research Triangle Park, is seeking highly motivated and experienced software engineers to join our team. We are looking for candidates that will enjoy developing unique, cutting-edge solutions that help people make sense of exquisite imagery, video, and other sophisticated remote sensor data. We value those who are curious to explore the “what”, “when”, “how”, and “why” of world events using advanced technologies. We encourage attitudes towards problem solving driven by persistence, innovation, teamwork and a willingness to meet challenges head on.
Our team develops state-of-the art software for sensor-data processing, analysis, storage, and visualization for challenging problems in the areas of video analytics, image processing, and other geospatial-temporal data sources. We utilize the most advanced techniques for data science, machine learning, computer vision, statistical analysis, and cloud computing to discover hidden patterns in big data. We develop end-to-end applications that process data for desktop, web, embedded platforms, and large scale cloud computing environments. We believe collaboration is key, as such, you will be paired with a mentor to facilitate a smooth onboarding process as you become familiar with our products and the technologies we employ.

Our commercial software products include:

• GXP InMotion Server - ingests and streams real-time data feeds, providing recording and analytics capabilities
• GXP InMotion Desktop - video and image analysis application
• Track Analytics Software Suite (TASS) - a suite of algorithms for analyzing geospatial data
• MOVINT Database - a geospatial big-data store with RESTful web service interfaces
• GXP InMotion Web / MOVINT- a browser-based front end for visualizing and analyzing geospatial data
