This change is driven by a need for faster adaptation to adversarial environments, which requires the ability to field resilient, distributed systems in days to weeks rather than months to years. To create composable systems that operate resiliently at scale in contested and resource constrained environments, we combine custom software toolchains with feedback control to dynamically adjust to ever changing environments.\nWe currently have openings for algorithm engineers to design, implement, and validate new algorithms across multiple domains including networking, distributed data fusion and resource management, distributed electronic warfare, and distributed Command and Control (C2). Understanding of probability and statistics is required, experience with control systems is desired. Demonstrated understanding of how to characterize the open-loop and close-loop stability of nonlinear systems via analysis, simulation, and experimentation is a strong plus.\nQualified candidates should have a mix of academic theory and real-world applications of relevant algorithms, combined with a track record of applying research techniques to real-world problems. This is not an entry level position and real-world experience is required. While this role is not primarily a software development role, some software development experience is strongly preferred.\nThe position is located in our Arlington, VA office (full-time in person). Existing DoD Top Secret clearance is extremely desirable, otherwise all candidates must be eligible to obtain one and therefore any applicant must be a US citizen to be considered.\nPay Information:\nAt Apogee Research we believe individuals should be compensated according to the value they bring to our organization and we want to ensure we evaluate candidates at their appropriate level. Apogee’s levels and ranges are included below:\nSenior Position: $121,933 - $182,900\nPrincipal Position: $153,818 - $265,200\nI’m awesome and your ranges don’t apply to me. \n About Apogee Research\nApogee Research offers a comprehensive benefits package that includes health, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance, FSAs, paid vacation, sick leave, and paid holidays. Conveniently located in Arlington, VA, we are a short walking distance from the Ballston Metro station. We offer the choice of paid garage parking or a contribution towards a transit account.\nApogee Research, LLC is proud to be an Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action employer. We do not discriminate based upon race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy and gender identity), national origin, political affiliation, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, genetic information, age, membership in an employee organization, parental status, military service, or other non-merit factors.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3004,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":true,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["National Security","Homeland Security"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-18T21:32:34Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":71,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.794,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":10,"expected_fill_days":22,"reasons":["conf:0","win:mid","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-20T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":182900,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/apogee-research-algorithm-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/apogee-research-algorithm-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-20T09:06:17Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":9991,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-21T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4391409},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4391409"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fapogee-research-algorithm-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fapogee-research-algorithm-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fapogee-research-algorithm-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/apogee-research-algorithm-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fapogee-research-algorithm-engineer"}]}
