EO Imagery Analyst / Scientist Lead

• Conducting assessments of potential differences between new sensor characteristics and capabilities compared to currently utilized platforms.
• Assessing potential differences in metadata data format and data structure characteristics in regards to changes to databases schemas APIs and other ETL related processes for the ingestion and movement of data when integrating into the existing data operations pipeline.
• Determining how to acquire new data potential latency associated with acquisition data formats and security domains. In addition the Lead will pre-process and standardize the data to match existing data standards or to be transformed into a usable state for labeling and model testing purposes. This may involve converting between file format types or tiling full-size images into specified sizes or geospatial bounds.
• Investigating any gaps in the emerging sensor capability that may need to be supplemented by other sources.
• Collaborate with SAR Imagery Scientists to provide coincident EO imagery in alignment with the areas and temporal windows of emerging sensor's collection.

• 8+ years as an Electro-Optical (EO) Analysis expert with understanding of collection phenomenology imagery formation process and exploitation products. An approved degree may be substituted for some experience.
• 3+ years of experience exploiting the electromagnetic spectrum (e.g. electro-optical) to determine the occurrence and location of objects of interest.
• Must possess experience developing testing and evaluating new algorithms processes methodologies and products using EO imagery including experience utilizing advanced processing tools (e.g. python MATLAB Google Earth Engine etc.) to automate scientific processes of EO imagery data to aid analysis.
• Strong in communicating with a variety of technical and non-technical audiences on the availability and capabilities of EO imagery products methodologies procedures and algorithms to enhance analysis.
• Must possess a deep understanding of the principles of remote sensing and imagery processing and advanced exploitation methods.
• General experience in Machine Learning (ML) techniques to EO imagery and data to address intelligence problems is strongly desired.
• Current TS/SCI security clearance with ability to obtain CI Poly

• Experience applying Computer Vision (CV) and machine learning (ML) techniques to SAR imagery to address intelligence problems.
