Spectral Scientist

Responsibilities

• Utilize advanced GEOINT tools to analyze and exploit remotely sensed data to produce and disseminate GEOINT intelligence products.
• Perform non-literal exploitation of Passive sensor data (Multispectral, Hyperspectral or Thermal Infrared sensor data).
• Combine exploitation results with contextual findings discovered through research and other electro-optical (E/O) literal data analysis to bring meaningful interpretation to non-literal results.
• Perform quality assurance and control review for own and team-members’ products prior to dissemination.
• Analyze and develop processes to support the exploitation of unique, anomalous, and difficult datasets utilizing engineering principles and a physics-based analytical approach.
• Perform algorithm development (light scripting/automation) for complex data exploitation processes as needed (preferred).
• Complete all mandatory security requirement/network, and sensor discipline training, as required.

Requirements

• STEM-related degree is required (Masters/Doctorate in Chemistry, Physics, Imagery Science, Mathematics, Engineering, Computer Science, or Data Science).
• 6+ years demonstrated experience.
• Active Top Secret Clearance with SCI eligibility.
• Strong technical writing and briefing skills (experienced with MS Office – Word, PowerPoint, Excel).
• Ability to work both independently and in a team environment.

Preferred Additional Skills

• Experience with ENVI, SOCET GXP, RemoteView, ArcGIS, and/or similar software tools.
• Ability to code/script, such as in Python, MATLAB, R, and/or IDL.
• Experience in processing and analyzing remote sensing data from active or passive sensors, especially spectral, and/or thermal (IR) data.
• Bachelor's Degree in Chemistry preferred.
