algorithm-optimization jobs in San Diego

Design, implement, and optimize advanced algorithms for radar, optical, and infrared sensor systems, working with scientists and engineers to build high-performance backend systems for scientific computing in distributed environments. Translate existing code for GPU/CUDA acceleration, integrate and refactor scientific codebases, and work in Linux/Unix environments.…See more Requires 6+ years of C/C++ backend development (or 4+ with a Master's), expertise in high-performance computing, parallel/distributed processing (MPI), GPU/CUDA programming, and foundational knowledge of AI/ML and LLM concepts.

Lead the development of autonomy software for advanced sensor systems and uncrewed platforms, integrating hardware and algorithms into robust, real-time fielded solutions. You will architect and implement C++ applications using modern software practices (CI/CD, TDD, open architecture), lead small engineering teams through system development and test cycles, and engage directly with Air Force, Navy, and DARPA customers to shape product direction.…See more The role requires converting higher-level algorithms (MATLAB) into production-grade, multi-threaded C++ for safety-critical, real-time embedded environments, supported by live testing and modeling-and-simulation infrastructure.

Senior engineer designing, implementing, and validating Wireless WAN modem air interface and Radio Access Network (RAN) technologies for multi-RAT systems. Responsible for modem access stratum and RF software design, algorithms, HW/SW co-processor architecture, and transceiver implementation based on 3GPP LTE and 5G NR specifications.…See more Works across L1/L2/L3 protocol layers, optimizes for performance (throughput, latency, power consumption) and cost (silicon area, calibration complexity), and collaborates with RF and hardware teams on modem IP architecture and shared resource allocation.
