Senior Data Scientist - Radar and Sensor Analytics

Fortem Technologies is seeking a Senior Data Scientist to help turn raw radar returns into actionable intelligence. You will initially focus on classifying objects detected by Fortem’s TrueView radar systems — including drones, birds, aircraft, and other airspace traffic — and then expand your work to incorporate drone telemetry and additional sensor data as Fortem’s classification capabilities grow across the SkyDome Family of Systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and deploy machine learning models to classify objects detected by Fortem’s TrueView radar systems (e.g., drones, birds, aircraft, clutter)
• Analyze large volumes of radar returns and track data to identify features that improve detection and classification accuracy
• Collaborate with radar and FPGA engineering teams to understand signal processing pipelines and identify opportunities for data-driven improvements
• Build data pipelines and labeling workflows to curate and maintain high-quality training datasets
• Extend classification capabilities to additional sensor modalities and drone telemetry data over time
• Evaluate model performance in production, monitor for drift, and iterate on models and features
• Communicate findings, tradeoffs, and recommendations to engineering and product stakeholders
• Other related duties and tasks as assigned by engineering leadership
