Full Job Description
Job Description

The Electro-Optical (EO) Imagery Scientist is the subject matter expert (SME) on the EO modality. The EO Imagery Lead will provide technical direction and conduct the work necessary to acquire and prepare imagery of the necessary quality, standards, and requirements provided by the Government. The EO Imagery Lead will also develop solutions informed by specific phenomenology limitations and advantages of the sensors and platforms in mind.

Day-to-day tasks may include but not be limited to:
  • 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.


Required Skills and Education

  • 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


This position will be posted for at least 5 calendar days. The posting will remain active until the position is filled, or a qualified pool of candidates is identified.

Preferred Skills and Education

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