Job ID: ATR 17498
Job Description Job Title: Remote Sensing Scientist
Location: Springfield, VA
Eligibility: Candidate must possess an active TS/SCI Clearance
Job Description: We are looking for somebody with a Remote Sensing background who can
support the development of new repeatable methods for spectral
processing and analytics. You will apply cutting-edge literal and
non-literal spectral analysis techniques to develop repeatable
methodologies, support intelligence reporting, and enhance GEOINT
capabilities which are used by GEOINT and Imagery Analysts. The right
candidate will have a high level of proficiency with hyperspectral
imagery (HSI), multispectral imagery (MSI), and sensor design
principles. You will be part of a highly skilled team that is driving
innovation in spectral analysis by researching, developing, and
recommending solutions for NextGen Spectral processing tools in support
of National Defense.
This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a mission-focused team in
Springfield, VA. By joining our team, you will work on an impactful and
compelling project that advances scientific understanding of GEOINT
related phenomenology in support of important missions that rely on
GEOINT to inform decisions in areas like defense, national security, and
disaster response.
Responsibilities: - Develop advanced non-literal hyperspectral processing techniques and
repeatable analytical methods to enhance formal intelligence
reporting.
- Design and justify data collection strategies that ensure target
feasibility and provide consistent, high-quality inputs necessary
for developing and validating repeatable spectral exploitation
methods.
- Review and validate automated hyperspectral detections, assessing
their material characteristics and alignment with mission-specific
intelligence requirements.
- Develop and refine Computer Vision workflows to increase analytical
efficiency in GEOINT
- Conduct evaluations of COTs and GOTs spectral tools, software,
systems, and data.
- Participate in Verification & Validation (V&V) of new tools,
techniques, and processing pipelines for spectral exploitation.
- Regularly document and clearly communicate findings, impacts, and
methods via written reports to support knowledge management,
intelligence reporting, and broad dissemination.
- Contribute to spectral tradecraft documentation, including
scientific publications and internal IC content (e.g., GEOINT and
Tradecraft Hub).
Required Qualifications: - Expertise in spectral phenomenology, spectroscopy, and
hyperspectral/multispectral processing
- Must have a strong understanding of GEOINT and the TCPED cycle
- Candidates should have hands-on experience with tools and platforms
used in daily spectral and GEOINT workflows, such as
- Spectral/GIS Analysis:ENVI, FLAASH, QUAC, AIG
- GEOINT Production: SOCET GXP,ArcGIS, electronic light tables
- Scripting/Automation:Python(or IDL/MATLAB equivalent)
- Familiarity with analytic tools such as FADE (MIST, INTELBOOK, LINX,
and WATCH BOX)
- Excellent interpersonal, written, and communication skills, and the
ability to interact effectively with individuals at all levels in
the GEOINT Community
- TS/SCI clearance (with CI Poly)
- Bachelors Degree and 7 years of relevant professional work
experience OR a Masters Degree with 5 years of relevant professional
work experience
- substitutions are allowed for RELEVANT volunteer experience,
internships, professional certifications, military experience,
different degree types, and a variety of other things…
Desired Experience: - GEOINT related certifications
- Experience with Computer Vision, AI/ML algorithms, and workflow
development for GEOINT applications.
- Hands-on experience evaluating commercial and government
hyperspectral exploitation tools, including software and data
platforms.
- Familiarity with scientific publishing, academic research, and
community knowledge-sharing platforms.
- Background in sensor calibration, radiometric correction, or
uncertainty quantification is a strong plus.
- Familiarity with the following tools is highly desirable to support
Workflow Development, Integration, Or Tool Evaluation: - Image Processing & CV/ML Frameworks: OpenCV, TensorFlow, PyTorch
- Additional GIS/Remote Sensing Tools: ERDAS IMAGINE, SIV
