Responsibilities- Utilize advanced GEOINT tools to analyze and exploit remotely sensed radar data and produce GEOINT products
- Provide technical leadership to teams performing exploitation and process development
- Analyze and develop processes to support exploitation of unique, anomalous, and difficult datasets using engineering principles and physics‑based analysis
- Develop and refine algorithms supporting complex radar and remote sensing data exploitation processes
- Contribute to improvement of PED workflows and advanced analytical methodologies
- Collaborate across multidisciplinary teams to resolve complex exploitation issues
- Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in a STEM discipline such as Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Remote Sensing, or related technical field
- Experience processing and analyzing Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data
- Understanding of EO/IR/RF signatures, Automatic Target Recognition (ATR), and Machine Learning (ML) methods applied to remote sensing
- Experience as a GEOINT Analyst within the Intelligence Community (IC) or DoD OR minimum of 7 years providing subject matter expertise to DoD GEOINT programs
- Active Top Secret clearance with SCI eligibility
- Experience interpreting image‑based intelligence data
- Experience processing and analyzing Radar Cross Section (RCS) and radar signature data
- Experience supporting non‑literal SAR GEOINT applications
- Familiarity with Xpatch software
- Coding/scripting experience in MATLAB, Python, R, and/or IDL
- Understanding of advanced signal processing techniques
- Experience producing formal intelligence reports
