OPIR​/Remote Sensing Algorithm Analyst

What You’ll Be Doing

• Solve challenging problems involving multi-sensor imagery data analysis, exploitation, and integration including for overhead persistent infrared (OPIR) mission areas executed by the United States Space Force, Space Systems Command;
  Missile Defense Agency;
  Space Development Agency; and intelligence community.
• Employ mathematical principles to evaluate, develop, and select processing techniques, optimizing calibration, background suppression, signal augmentation, target detection, geolocation, and multi-target and multi-sensor tracking.
• Leveraging end-to-end data exploitation and analytics knowledge to validate novel image and signal processing algorithms.
• Apply end-to-end knowledge of data exploitation and data analytics to provide independent verification and validation of new image and signal processing algorithms and inform trade studies to optimize performance of space payloads.
• Craft innovative, multi phenomenology solutions, specialized visualizations, and analytical reports for senior government customers.

Minimum Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in a related STEM field, particularly Remote Sensing, Imaging Science, Astronomy, Physics, Mathematics, Atmospheric Science, Computer Science, Optical or Electrical Engineering.
• Eight years of relevant experience.
• Experience developing detection, background suppression, and tracking algorithms and their application to imagery data.
• Adept at conducting modeling and simulation, test data generation, algorithm performance trade studies, and reporting findings to stakeholders.
• Extensive numerical programming experience using Python and/or Matlab and/or C++.
• An active Top Secret/SCI security clearance.

In addition to the above, the minimum requirements for Senior Engineering Specialist:

• Twelve years in roles of increasing engineering/scientific responsibility.
• Demonstrated experience coordinating multi-disciplinary technical efforts across complex defense or intelligence remote sensing programs.
• Proven technical leadership, personal accountability, and adaptability to changing customer expectations.

• Demonstrated expertise in linear algebra and spectral theory, evidenced by one or more of the following:
  Publications, patents, or technical reports using spectral methods.
• Production-grade implementation of algorithms relying on eigenvalue analysis, SVD, and related techniques.
• Advanced degree in a related STEM field, particularly Remote Sensing, Imaging Science, Astronomy, Physics, Mathematics, Atmospheric Science, Computer Science, Optical or Electrical Engineering.
• Published work in scientific journals or technical conferences on remote sensing or algorithm development and analysis.
• Experience applying artificial intelligence/computer vision methods to detection and tracking applications.

Individual salaries within that range are determined through a wide variety of factors including but not limited to education, experience, knowledge and skills.
