Remote Sensing Image Scientist/Physicist/Engineer

Responsibilities Candidate should have technical experience in image analysis of remote sensing systems data (PAN, IR, MSI, HSI, LIDAR, RADAR, etc.). Examples of relevant experience include radiometric or thermometric analysis, sensor/atmospheric calibration, MTF and SNR assessments, exploitation algorithm development, signal/image processing, modeling and simulation, and Fourier analysis. Candidate must possess familiarity with image processing and software tools such as ENVI/IDL, MATLAB, or Python. Other beneficial skills could include experience with atmospheric radiative transfer models (e.g. MODTRAN), XML data handling, image product formats (NITF, JPEG, etc.), AI/ML tools and "big data" analysis techniques. Perform studies and analysis to characterize and improve the quality of remote sensing data Coordinate calibration planning by leading weekly payload calibration meetings, generate calibration handbooks, master schedules, data dissemination CONOPS, readiness plans, success criteria, and readiness review execution plans Manage collaborative sites for calibration activities; create, populate, and maintain data repositories to allow distributed teams to access required data and collaborate on execution Deliver and publish radiometric data, sensor characterization reports, and calibration task out briefs Fully analyze and report findings of calibration truth data, characterize and report accuracy Maintain and update scripts, processes and data required for calibration assessment and monitoring Conduct analysis to validate test and transition of capabilities Coordinate with external stakeholders to develop future capabilities, requirements updates and planning Monitor and assess enterprise product and data integrity Lead independent enterprise investigations of anomalous product quality performance and produce analysis to expedite problem identification and resolution Required Qualifications Must possess and be able to maintain a TS/SCI Clearance with Poly.
