Project Manager: Software Engineering

GA-CCRi maintains and deploys production systems for users across the Intelligence Community, Department of Defense, and commercial industry. We build and develop best-in-class all domain and globally focused situational awareness capabilities that process petabytes of data from numerous streaming data sources in near real time. Our systems apply state-of-the-art algorithms and machine learning techniques to extract features and fuse data from multiple phenomenologies to form a rich view of objects in the sky, on the sea, and on the ground. These analytics are designed to determine not just where something is, but what it is, where it's been and what it is doing. All of this "data to knowledge" is made available to end users in our own browser-based application for visualization, analysis, and understanding. We always want to do more, and that's where you come in!

GA-CCRi is looking for a Senior Project Manager / Product Owner for Software Engineering to join our computer vision program. This program is focused on the automated detection of objects in satellite imagery and the underlying infrastructure that supports imagery ingest, AI/ML processing, and detection export across multiple data sources and multiple modalities of satellite imagery. This team works to develop the end-to-end infrastructure to enable computer vision and analytics workflow within our production system, integrating new data sources and realizing new concepts for interaction with computer vision and satellite imaging data while delivering best-in-class performance to end-users.
