Geospatial Analyst

About the role

The Geospatial Analyst provides geospatial and imagery expertise and quantitative analysis to make recommendations that improve data curation and development in support of Machine Learning algorithm training and evaluation. You'll leverage multi-INT data to prioritize and curate imagery from emerging sensors, recommend curation strategies, identify data gaps, and apply GEOINT tradecraft alongside data science methods to build diverse, representative datasets for model development.

Responsibilities

• Leverage multi-INT data to curate imagery from emerging sensors — prioritizing collection that contains objects of interest or needed scene characteristics per government direction
• Conduct spatial and spatial-temporal analysis of data holdings; recommend curation strategies based on geographic coverage, scene attributes, and ML model development needs
• Exploit imagery and analyze geospatial data using GEOINT tradecraft and tools (NGA-authorized geospatial exploitation tools, ArcGIS Pro, Jupyter Notebook) to support data analysis and exploitation tasks
• Apply statistical and mathematical analyses to identify trends, solve problems, and optimize performance across the data curation and labeling pipeline
• Develop explanatory and predictive models; conduct comparative and alternative analysis to address complex military and intelligence challenges
• Select and apply GIS analysis methods (viewshed/LOS, mobility, terrain, spatial statistics, geospatial modeling) to support multi-INT research and curation recommendations

Requirements

• Active TS/SCI clearance
• Minimum 5 years of experience
• Experience with imagery analytical products and conducting multi-INT analysis
• Proficiency with structured, unstructured, and semi-structured data and visualization tools; ability to exploit data through programming and scripting with advanced geospatial skills; strong understanding of how to apply evolving technology and methodologies to geospatial problems

Qualifications

• You read imagery analytically — you see scene characteristics, object signatures, and collection geometry as factors that affect ML model performance, not just visual content
• You think spatially and temporally — you know how geographic coverage, seasonal variation, and scene diversity affect training data quality
• You're technically versatile — you can script in Python or use GIS tools as the task demands, without being siloed into one approach
• You bring GEOINT rigor to data curation — your recommendations are evidence-based, traceable, and defensible to a government customer
• You're curious about AI/ML — you want to understand how your analytical decisions upstream influence model training outcomes downstream

Skills

• Leverage multi-INT data to curate imagery from emerging sensors
• Recommend curation strategies and identify data gaps
• Apply statistical and mathematical analyses
• Select and execute multi-INT research methods
• Conduct descriptive analyses and exploit intelligence databases
• Select and execute multi-INT research methods
• Implement GA tradecraft including GIS analyses such as viewshed/LOS, Mobility, Order of Battle, Geospatial Synthesis, Geospatial Modeling, Terrain, and Spatial Statistics
