• Design and execute experiments for few and low shot approaches for overhead imagery. Avenues of research include: self-supervised methods, generative adversarial approaches for domain transfer with synthetic imagery, methods for reducing supervision cost through alternative annotation types and networks.
• Design and execute experiments for general detector performance in overhead imagery. Implement and evaluate new network architectures/approaches from literature as necessary to maintain strong baseline performance.
• Create custom deep neural network components and new performance metrics as needed to support the above. Occasionally writing Python extensions and CUDA kernels in C++ for custom network components, evaluation metrics, etc...
• Maintain containerized execution environments for experiments across compute architectures (amd64, ppc64le) and domains using Docker and Singularity.
• Occasionally work to deploy models created by the team on various partner platforms for evaluation and feedback.
• Experience with Blender

Must Have:

• Python skills
• Must have a current TS/SCI + CI poly.
•  Skills in Python extensions and CUDA kernels in C++
