In-Depth Engineering seeks a research scientist to join our signal processing team in our Columbia, MD office. In-Depth executes applied research and development programs involving the development of passive and active acoustic sensor and signal processing solutions principally in support of the US Navy. Current projects involve developing target classification solutions such as marine mammal recognition and torpedo detection using a novel algorithm that models processes in the mammalian brain, and a wide-area distributed acoustic environmental characterization system using a novel sensor and signal processing solution. Primary areas of focus include acoustic target detection, classification, localization (DCL), and tracking solutions, new sensor design, acoustic modeling and simulation, and applications of AI/ML.

We seek self-starters capable of independent effort as well as participation on a small team.

This is a permanent, full-time position and the work will be performed on-site in our Research and Development Lab in Columbia, Maryland.
