Responsibilities
Define system and interface requirements for multi sensor fusion of IR and RF domains and for integration of onboard and offboard data sources (e.g., datalinks, distributed sensors)
Architect and specify fusion solutions (architecture diagrams, data flows, latency/bandwidth budgets, timing, and synchronization)
Design, prototype, and evaluate multi sensor fusion algorithms (track association, data association, state estimation, sensor registration, and confidence/uncertainty management)
Develop simulation and test plans; lead verification, validation, and performance characterization in lab and field environments
Define and enforce data models, metadata, and interfaces (e.g., message formats, time stamping, coordinate frames)
Work with software and hardware teams to integrate algorithms into real time processors and embedded platforms
Analyze and mitigate failure modes, perform sensitivity and robustness analyses, and specify required fault detection and recovery behavior
Document design decisions, validation results, and provide technical input for safety, certification, and compliance artifacts
Communicate results and tradeoffs to stakeholders and support mission-level operational assessments and user demonstrations
Lead end to end algorithm lifecycle activities: requirements → design → prototyping → verification → optimization → deployment and maintenance
Translate mission and system-level requirements into algorithmic performance metrics (e.g., detection probability, false alarm rate, track continuity, latency, computational load)
Implement robust data association and track management strategies that handle clutter, intermittent detections, varying update rates, and biased or misregistered sensors
Design methods for sensor registration, coordinate frame transforms, bias estimation, and online calibration to maintain long term fusion accuracy
Quantify uncertainty and confidence in fused outputs; design metadata and scoring (e.g., covariance estimates, association probabilities) to inform downstream decision systems and operators
