Job Description:

Candidate should have technical experience in image analysis of remote sensing systems data (PAN, IR, MSI, HSI, LIDAR, RADAR, etc.). Examples of relevant experience include radiometric or thermometric analysis, sensor/atmospheric calibration, MTF and SNR assessments, exploitation algorithm development, signal/image processing, modeling and simulation, and Fourier analysis. Candidate must possess familiarity with image processing and software tools such as ENVI/IDL, MATLAB, or Python. Other beneficial skills could include experience with atmospheric radiative transfer models (e. g. MODTRAN), XML data handling, image product formats (NITF, JPEG, etc.), AI/ML tools and “big data” analysis techniques.

Job Responsibility:

Perform studies and analysis to characterize and improve the quality of remote sensing data
Coordinate calibration planning by leading weekly payload calibration meetings, generate calibration handbooks, master schedules, data dissemination CONOPS, readiness plans, success criteria, and readiness review execution plans
Manage collaborative sites for calibration activities
create, populate, and maintain data repositories to allow distributed teams to access required data and collaborate on execution
Deliver and publish radiometric data, sensor characterization reports, and calibration task out briefs
Fully analyze and report findings of calibration truth data, characterize and report accuracy
Maintain and update scripts, processes and data required for calibration assessment and monitoring
Conduct analysis to validate test and transition of capabilities
Coordinate with external stakeholders to develop future capabilities, requirements updates and planning
Monitor and assess enterprise product and data integrity
Lead independent enterprise investigations of anomalous product quality performance and produce analysis to expedite problem identification and resolution

Requirements:

Must be able to obtain and maintain a TS/SCI with polygraph clearance
Bachelor’s degree with 5–7 years of relevant experience, Master’s with 3–5 years, or PhD with 0–2 years in Image Science, Optics, Applied Physics, Mathematics, or Engineering

image chain analysis
Excellent presentation and communication skills
demonstrated ability to clearly explain technical issues to technical and non-technical audiences
Demonstrated ability and success working independently and in team environments
Customer focused and capable of representing the customer in user outreach, familiarity activities and community forums
Experience developing/modifying engineering code in at least one of Python, MATLAB, ENVI/IDL or similar to solve hard problems and create processes for repeatable results

Nice to have:

Bachelor’s degree in Image Science, Optics, Applied Physics, Mathematics, or Engineering with 7 or more years of relevant experience, or master’s degree with comparable experience
Project management or leadership experience
Experience with one or more of PAN, IR, MSI, HSI, LIDAR, or RADAR systems and analysis
Experience developing/modifying engineering code in multiple of Python, MATLAB, ENVI/IDL or similar to solve hard problems and create processes for repeatable results
