Responsibilities:

Develop advanced hyperspectral processing techniques and analytical methods to improve intelligence reporting.

Design data collection strategies to ensure target feasibility and high-quality inputs for spectral exploitation.

Review and validate automated hyperspectral detections against mission requirements.

Develop and refine Computer Vision workflows to improve GEOINT analysis efficiency.

Evaluate spectral tools, software, and systems, including verification and validation processes.

Document findings and communicate methods through reports to support knowledge sharing and intelligence dissemination.

Contribute to spectral tradecraft documentation, including scientific publications and internal content.

Required Qualifications:

Expertise in spectral phenomenology, spectroscopy, and hyperspectral/multispectral processing.
Strong understanding of GEOINT and the TCPED cycle.
Experience with tools like ENVI, FLAASH, QUAC, AIG, SOCET GXP, ArcGIS, and scripting in Python or equivalent.
Familiarity with analytic tools such as FADE, MIST, INTELBOOK, LINX, and WATCH BOX.
Excellent communication skills and ability to interact across levels in the GEOINT community.
TS/SCI clearance with CI Poly.
Bachelor's Degree with 7 years of relevant experience or Master's Degree with 5 years of relevant experience. Substitutions for volunteer experience, internships, certifications, military experience, or different degrees are permitted.

Desired

Experience:

GEOINT-related certifications.
Experience with Computer Vision, AI/ML algorithms, and workflow development for GEOINT.
Hands-on evaluation of hyperspectral exploitation tools.
Experience with scientific publishing and research.
Background in sensor calibration, radiometric correction, or uncertainty quantification.
Familiarity with tools like OpenCV, Tensor Flow, PyTorch, ERDAS IMAGINE, SIV, and NSG imagery platforms.
