+++ This opportunity is for an upcoming award expected in July 2026****BTS Software Solutions is seeking a Exploitation Specialist/Imagery Imagery Scientist (SAR) to support Department of Defense IC missions at Springfield, VA.
The SAR Geospatial Analyst shall provide geospatial and imagery expertise and quantitative analysis to make recommendations that improve data curation and development in support of Machine Leaming algorithm testing and evaluation.
Primary Location:
Springfield, VA Secondary Locations:
St. Louis, Missouri Clearance Requirement:
TS/SCI, must be willing to take a CI Poly in the futureWhat You'll Get to Do:
Required skills:- Experience with Synthetic Aperture Radar imagery analytical products and conducting multi-INT analysis
- Utilize structured, unstructured, and semi-structured data and visualization tools to exploit data through use of programming and scripting, including advanced geospatial skills and an excellent understanding of how to apply evolving technology and methodologies to related issues
Education/Experience:
- 6+ years as a SAR expert with understanding of collection, phenomenology, image formation process, and exploitation products.
- Experience SAR imagery quality metrics and sensor metadata describing impacts of geometry on phenomenology
- Exhibit experience exploiting SAR to determine the occurrence and location of objects of interest
- Exhibit experience communicating with a variety of technical and non-technical audiences on availability and capabilities of SAR imagery products, methodologies, procedures, and algorithms to enhance analysis.
- Exhibit an understanding of the principles of remote sensing and imagery processing and advanced exploitation methods
- Experience working with or developing Machine Learning algorithms for exploiting overhead imagery and/or motion imagery products
Required Skills- Leverage multi-INT data, with an emphasis on SAR, to curate imagery from the emergent sensors.
