GA-CCRi was founded in 1989 and is located in Charlottesville, VA. It provides custom software development and innovative information engineering solutions to customers in government and private industry. We build and develop best-in-class all domain and globally focused situational awareness capabilities that process petabytes of data from numerous streaming data sources in near real time. Our systems apply state-of-the-art algorithms and machine learning techniques to extract features and fuse data from multiple phenomenologies to form a rich live view of objects in the sky, on the sea, and on the ground. These analytics are designed to determine not just where something is, but what it is, where it's been and what it's doing. All of this "data to knowledge" is made available to end users in our own browser-based application for visualization, analysis, and understanding. We always want to do more, and that's where you come in!
GA-CCRi is seeking Data Scientists to join our core product team, shaping the future of situational awareness capabilities for our customers. Our teams leverage cutting-edge technology to process petabytes of data and extract features in near real time, all while providing a rich, live view of objects on land, sea, and sky. Join our growing team in taking our systems to the next level, giving end-users the power to see beyond the data and truly understand the world around them.
