Junior to Mid-Level Software Engineer/Scientist

Build 3D AI, deep learning, modeling & simulation, mixed reality, and autonomous systems for real-world missions.

CSLabs is seeking a software engineer with a science/engineering background—or a scientist/engineer who can build reliable, production-quality software. You’ll help turn advanced research into mission-ready tools across HPC, AI/ML, CNN-based computer vision, synthetic data, cutting-edge algorithms, 3D visualization, and autonomous maritime systems.

You’ll work with Ph.D. scientists and engineers supporting U.S. defense customers and partners. This is a high-ownership role for someone who wants to learn fast, contribute early, and build software that matters.

What you’ll work on:

• Autonomy software for unmanned maritime systems: A*/AI-assisted routing, path planning, navigation, swarm coordination, and multi-agent support
• MR 3D workflows for LiDAR/photogrammetry point clouds, visualization, optimization, and clash/interference detection
• AI/ML and deep learning pipelines for synthetic data, CNN-based detection/segmentation, anomaly detection, transfer learning, fine-tuning, and model evaluation
• Modeling, simulation, image processing, computer vision, sensor fusion, optimization, 3D reconstruction, and real-time decision support
• Cross-platform C/C++ and Python systems with Unity, Unreal Engine, OpenXR, PyTorch, TensorFlow, simulation environments, and distributed architectures

Requirements

• B.S. in Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or related field—or equivalent technical depth
• Strong C/C++/C# skills and practical Python scripting
• Experience in one or more: computer vision, AI/ML/deep learning, CNNs, AR/VR/MR, robotics/autonomy, modeling & simulation, numerical methods, scientific computing, or algorithm development
• First-principles problem solving, numerical reasoning, attention to detail, integrity, and ownership
• Engineering discipline: explain design choices, test assumptions, and build sol...
