ANPC is a global supplier of precision approach guidance and area surveillance solutions aimed at improving the safety and capacity of civil and military aviation for customers on all seven continents. Our transponder-based solutions are designed to serve airfields where others cannot. We are a team of extraordinary professionals working together to perform an important mission to uniquely serve airports with terrain, obstacles and other challenges that no other business can provide.

We are seeking a high-caliber Algorithms Engineer with a deep mathematical foundation to lead the development and analysis of our core algorithmic frameworks. This is not a generalist coding role; it is a position for a specialist who thrives at the intersection of theoretical analysis and safety-critical implementation. You will be responsible for the entire lifecycle of an algorithm—from conceptualizing a heuristic to proving its correctness in a structured, high-stakes environment. This role is a designated succession-track position. You will work in tandem with our current specialist to ensure a seamless transfer of institutional knowledge while preparing to take full ownership of the algorithmic domain.

We are recruiting exclusively for candidates at our Hood River, Oregon headquarters. This role is not remote eligible.

• Design novel solutions for complex system problems, utilizing everything from standard Kalman filtering and estimation techniques to bespoke heuristics.

• Provide rigorous analysis to prove the correctness, stability, and efficiency of algorithms before deployment.

• Oversee and optimize existing algorithmic libraries to ensure continued reliability.

• Translate complex mathematical concepts into clear, actionable insights for non-technical stakeholders and cross-functional teams.

• Master’s or PhD in Math or Physics, with a specialization in Applied Math, Linear Algebra, Statistics, Computational Math, or Control Systems.

• 5+ years of experience in structured software development.

• Proficiency in MATLAB / Simulink (or equivalent high-level modeling environments).

• Exceptional written and verbal skills, with a proven ability to explain "the math" to those who don't speak it.

• Experience with DO-278 or similar safety-critical development standards is a significant advantage.

• Aviation Domain Expertise: Direct experience working on flight-deck or aerospace projects.

• Proven Impact: A portfolio that includes an operational product currently in the field.

• Systems Thinking: Experience or exposure to Systems Engineering workflows.

• Mentorship: A history of elevating others, such as teaching experience or mentoring junior engineers and researchers.
