We are seeking a Junior Exploitation Specialist/Photogrammetrist to provide photogrammetry support to our customer. You will work under the direction of a senior-level photogrammetric lead and help produce multi-source remote reconnaissance packages for geodetic survey missions. The work draws on LiDAR processing and analysis, point cloud generation from Electro-Optical (EO) imagery, and co-registration of multi-source datasets.

• Assist in producing multi-source remote reconnaissance packages for planned and ad hoc geodetic survey missions, using existing data and services to meet yearly requirements.
• Build packages consistent with relevant SOPs and standards designated by the senior-level photogrammetric lead, with guidance as needed.
• Complete packages at least two (2) weeks before deployment, unless the mission is first announced within that window.
• Coordinate with the customer’s Requirements Manager, Mission Managers, and Team Leads to ensure packages are accessible and to answer questions about content or usage.
• Gather post-deployment feedback on package usability from the Geodetic Surveys Requirements Manager, Mission Manager, Tech Team, and Team Leads, and work with the senior lead to refine the process.
• Provide input to senior-level revisions of SOPs, geodetic standards, and other package-generation documentation.
• Keep the Requirements Manager, Mission Managers, and senior photogrammetric lead informed of status and completions.
• Identify potential data sources and optimization methods for the package generation process.
• Help identify data accessibility issues affecting geographically separated branches and field teams.

• Active TS/SCI clearance (required)
• High school diploma and 2–3 years of relevant experience
• Basic knowledge of photogrammetry, LiDAR processing and analysis, and EO point cloud generation
• 1–3 years of experience processing and analyzing LiDAR data or EO point clouds, and documenting precision and error per existing data standards
• Basic experience co-registering multiple datasets to the WGS
  84 reference frame and performing statistical analysis to determine absolute and relative error
• Basic experience with QT Modeler, Socet Set, or similar elevation/point cloud processing and analysis software
• Basic experience with ESRI ArcGISPro
• Knowledge of digital data formats such as vector data, raster data, and shape files
• Good oral and written communication skills

• STEM degree
• Familiarity with emerging AI technologies, tools, and methodologies, and their applications and implications in the geospatial and intelligence domains
• Geodetic or land surveying experience or coursework
• Knowledge of geodetic or statistical principles
• Knowledge of standard customer products
