Full Job Description
Responsibilities
Noblis is seeking an OPIR Analyst to join our Charlottesville VA team. The candidate will work alongside community experts to advance applications within the field of persistent infrared remote sensing. In this role, you will exploit persistent infrared data to detect, characterize, and report events, separating real signatures from background clutter and false alarms.
Job Responsibilities:
- Partner with scientists and engineers to develop new, and modernize existing algorithms, tools, and methodologies for exploitation of Persistent Infrared (PIR) data
- Conduct 2nd and 3rd phase exploitation of OPIR and other EO/IR sensor data to detect, track, and characterize events in support of ground forces intelligence requirements
- Review OPIR processed data, sensor metadata, and collection geometry to determine data quality
- Fuse OPIR with EO, SAR, MSI/HSI, and multi-INT reporting into finished GEOINT and MASINT products
- Author and review reports, graphics, and briefings for analysts, leadership, and customers, matching technical depth to the audience
- Help draft and prioritize collection requirements and coordinate with collection managers and mission partners on coverage for planned events and emerging targets
- Support field tests and data collections
Required Qualifications
- U.S. citizenship is required
- Active TS/SCI clearance OR an active Top Secret with the ability to obtain and maintain SCI
- Bachelor's degree and 8+ years of relevant experience - Additional 6 years of military or agency training may substitute for a degree.
- Hands-on exploitation of OPIR or other infrared sensor data for intelligence production
- Working knowledge of IR phenomenology, including sensor resolution, sensitivity, and the strengths and limits of persistent overhead collection
- Proficiency with standard GEOINT and MASINT tools such as ArcGIS, ENVI, SOCET GXP, or RemoteView
- Strong written and briefing skills for technical and non-technical audiences.
Travel up to 10% within US.
Lift up to 30 lbs, walk, bend, drive.
Desired Qualifications
- Prior support to NGIC, NASIC, NGA, MDA, or another DoD or IC production center.
- Knowledge of TIV, PIV, AFAST
- Degree in physics, engineering, remote sensing, or another STEM field
- Python or MATLAB for data handling, analysis, and visualization
- Familiarity with signature-modeling codes, radiometric calibration, or sensor performance analysis
- Experience with SAR, MSI/HSI, or LiDAR exploitation in addition to IR
- Exposure to AI/ML-enabled workflows, data labeling, or model evaluation
