Geospatial SME

About the role

Serve as a Geospatial Engineer Subject Matter Expert (SME) within the JC3‑Functional Defeat (FD) Branch, responsible for the development of virtual and physics‑based 3D models to support mission planning and minimizing collateral damage effects. You will review multiple intelligence sources to recreate surface and sub‑surface structures in a virtual environment, which will be used as part of larger 3D representations or to calculate and predict blast effects. The team is committed to delivering exceptional results and seeks a highly skilled and experienced SME.

Responsibilities

• Recreate real‑world structures in a high‑fidelity virtual environment to support mission planning and collateral effects assessments.
• Utilize imagery analysis skills to determine the construction and design of surface and sub‑surface structures.
• Transform vector and raster GIS data into desired formats, combine them into larger datasets, and present them in a 3D environment.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to develop plans and products.
• Provide technical guidance and expertise to junior team members and stakeholders.

Basic Qualifications

• Pre‑deployable physical required.
• Approximately 10 % time spent TDY.
• Must be able to travel stateside and internationally for mission requirements.
• Required short‑notice recall capability.

Desired Skills

• Physics Modeling (IMEA/UTAS): Proficient in creating accurate building models from multiple intelligence sources; able to apply weaponeering solutions to developed models; capable of explaining predictive modeling results to technical and non‑technical audiences.
• Visual Modeling (SketchUp): Create accurate, detailed 3D models of buildings, structures, and site layouts using Trimble SketchUp; interpret architectural drawings, engineering plans, floor layouts, and imagery to generate precise 3D representations.
• Imagery Analysis (SocetGXP): Review historical imagery to identify design and layout of buildings and structures; mensurate objects on imagery to accurately recreate them in a 3D environment.
• GIS (ArcGIS Pro and TerraExplorer): Familiar with vector and raster formats; ability to convert data to desired formats and map projections; import and symbolize traditional GIS data and 3D content into a TerraExplorer project; build and maintain interactive fly‑through presentations in TerraExplorer.
