Our client, one of the nation’s leading Research and Development organizations, currently has an opening for a Senior Image Scientist to work in Charlottesville, Virginia. This is the opportunity to lead an elite R&D team in a growing organization.  

The successful candidate will manage the efforts of the Advanced Geospatial Intelligence (AGI) production team including response to both external and internal taskings, workflow, and quality control and provides expert guidance on spectral products and exploitation techniques among other duties.

Duties:

Manage the efforts of the Advanced Geospatial Intelligence (AGI) production team including response to both external and internal taskings, workflow, and quality control.  Provide expert guidance on spectral products and exploitation techniques. Process and exploit complex AGI data including spectral, thermal, and/or synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data.  Apply basic-to-complex non-literal exploitation analysis techniques in the visible (VIS) through longwave infrared (LWIR) hyperspectral data.  Review and author Advanced Geospatial Intelligence Assessments, Advanced Geospatial Intelligence Reports, Annotat Graphical Products, and other reports/products as required.  Assist in full implementation of spectral AGI capabilities including analysis and production, product timeliness and workflow, technology (equipment and software) acquisition, operations, research & development, product development, posting and dissemination, and product applications to the warfighter.  Prepare and deliver technical papers and presentations for community-sponsored spectral Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) / AGI symposiums, meetings, working groups and collection exercises.  Plan and execute tasking and production for self and team.  Mentor Image Scientists and AGI Analysts leading the entire AGI production team’s operations.

Qualifications/Experience:

Required:

·         10+ years working in an operational production setting exploiting multi- and hyperspectral data in the GEOINT/AGI domain, including use of software-based exploitation tools such as ITT/Vis ENVI and ERDAS Imagine and applying atmospheric correction and spectral matching algorithms to data

·         6+ years past or current Intelligence Community (IC) experience with national Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), US Air Force National Air and Space Intelligence Center (USAF/NASIC), and/or U.S. Army Intelligence

·         2+ years training/experience in national requirements management

·         Comprehensive understanding of the phenomenology associated with the VIS through LWIR spectral region and SAR data is required with an emphasis on recent experience exploiting midwave infrared (MWIR) and LWIR hyperspectral data 

·         Comprehensive understanding of National and Theater AGI spectral intelligence assets

·         Comprehensive understanding of visible through LWIR airborne and space-based spectral collection platforms and collection methods
