Job Title: Spectral Image Scientist/Analyst

Job Code: SAS20232203-98706

Job Location: Dayton, OH

Job Description:

Seeking a highly qualified and motivated scientist to support GEOINT spectral production and the continued advancement of non-literal spectral analytical processes and techniques utilizing passive sensor data at the National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB) in Dayton, Ohio. This individual will support advanced remote sensing exploitation functions through detailed technical data analysis and through the development and improvement of techniques and procedures for the Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (PED) of remotely sensed data, including evaluation of data from new sensors. This individual will work collaboratively with other scientists, engineers, and analysts on complex issues.

Essential Functions:

• Utilize advanced GEOINT tools to analyze and exploit remotely sensed data to produce and disseminate GEOINT intelligence products
• Perform non-literal exploitation of Passive sensor data (Multispectral, Hyperspectral or Thermal Infrared sensor data)
• Combine exploitation results with contextual findings discovered through research and other electo-optical (E/O) literal data analysis to bring meaningful interpretation to non-literal results
• Perform quality assurance and control review for own and team-members’ products prior to dissemination
• Analyze and develop processes to support the exploitation of unique, anomalous, and difficult datasets utilizing engineering principles and a physics-based analytical approach
• Perform algorithm development (light scripting/automation) for complex data exploitation processes as needed (preferred)
• Complete all mandatory security requirement/network, and sensor discipline training, as required

Qualifications:

• Active Top Secret Clearance with SCI eligibility
• Bachelor of Science degree or higher in Engineering or a related technical field plus 6 or more years related experience
• Higher-level degrees a plus, i.e. Master’s degree or Ph.D., may substitute for two years of experience
• Ability to work both independently and in a team environment
• Strong technical writing and briefing skills (experienced with MS Office – Word, PowerPoint, Excel)

Preferred Additional Skills:

• Experience with ENVI, SOCET GXP, RemoteView, ArcGIS, and/or similar software tools
• Ability to code/script, such as in Python, MATLAB, R, and/or IDL
• Experience in processing and analyzing remote sensing data from active or passive sensors, especially spectral, and/or thermal (IR) data
