Help shape the next chapter of Geospatial Intelligence!Every new sensor capability brings an opportunity to see the world differently, uncover what was previously hidden, and provide a clearer understanding of the activities shaping our national security. But technology alone doesn't produce meaningful intelligence, It takes experienced analysts who can recognize its potential challenge conventional approaches and develop new ways to uncover the intelligence that matters most.
This is a rare chance to join us as a Senior GEOINT Analytic Methodologist to support the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency's (NGA) Office of Sciences and Methodologies (ATS). This is an opportunity to be part of a mission where emerging sensor technologies meet innovative GEOINT tradecraft, and where your expertise will directly influence how intelligence is analyzed, exploited, and understood. Leveraging your knowledge of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), Moving Target Indicator (MTI), and advanced GEOINT exploitation, you'll help unlock the potential of emerging sensor capabilities by developing new analytical methodologies, refining established tradecraft, and finding better ways to transform complex geospatial data into actionable intelligence. Your work will go beyond solving today's intelligence challenges, helping establish the approaches and techniques analysts will rely on as GEOINT capabilities continue to advance. And your contributions won't end with the methodologies you develop. By translating your expertise into practical tradecraft, technical briefings, and training, you'll help analysts across the Allied System for GEOINT understand and apply these capabilities, extending the value of your work throughout the Intelligence Community.
Requirements- Current active Top Secret / SCI clearance.
- You have one of the following education and relevant experience combinations:
- Associate degree + 8 years
- Bachelor's degree + 7 years
- Master's degree + 5 years
- 10 or more years of relevant experience
- Expertise with traditional and nontraditional NTM sensors, including advanced SAR and MTI phenomenology, to recognize their capabilities and maximize their intelligence value.
- Expertise in Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (PED) processes, advanced GEOINT tradecraft, and vector GEOINT exploitation to transform complex sensor data into actionable intelligence.
- Experience with GEOINT technologies such as Maven Smart System, SOCET GXP, RemoteView, iSpy, ArcGIS Pro, or DotMatrix to support advanced geospatial analysis and exploitation.
- Familiarity with Activity-Based Intelligence (ABI) principles and applications to identify patterns, relationships, and activities that strengthen intelligence assessments.
Nice to Have- Experience with radar, ABI, or MTI exploitation to expand analytical capabilities
- Experience shaping analytic standards, workflows, or best practices to improve GEOINT methodologies.
- Experience in creating or refining training content to strengthen analyst knowledge and proficiency.
- Experience with Python, R, SQL, or similar tools to streamline workflows and improve analytical efficiency.
If you're ready to influence the techniques, knowledge, and tradecraft that will strengthen GEOINT analysis for years to come, send your resume directly to Lanchi Lai, ([email protected]).
Salary range estimate of $105,000-$115,000 annually, with final compensation determined based on experience, qualifications, and alignment with the requirements of role.
