• 4+ years as a SAR expert with understanding of collection, phenomenology, image formation process, and exploitation products.
• Experience SAR imagery quality metrics and sensor metadata describing impacts of geometry on phenomenology
• Exhibit experience exploiting SAR to determine the occurrence and location of objects of interest
• Exhibit experience communicating with a variety of technical and non-technical audiences on availability and capabilities of SAR imagery products, methodologies, procedures, and algorithms to enhance analysis.
