We are Booz Allen and we bring together advanced imaging, physics-based modeling, and AI/ML to tackle some of the most challenging Space Domain Awareness and remote sensing problems. Our team builds high-fidelity processing pipelines that transform raw sensor data into actionable insight, and we work in a collaborative technical delivery environment focused on secure, reliable, user-centric tools that help accelerate mission outcomes. We offer a comprehensive benefits package that includes health, life, disability, financial, and retirement coverage, plus paid leave, professional development, tuition assistance, work-life programs, and dependent care. The projected annualized salary range for this role is $69,300 to $158,000, with compensation influenced by location, experience, skills, and contract requirements. This is a remote-capable role, though some in-person work at our facilities or customer sites may still be required, and selected candidates must meet TS/SCI clearance requirements.
