Image Scientist with Security Clearance

Candidate should have a science or engineering educational background combined with a working understanding and practical application of modeling components of the image path to include sensor, detector, atmospheric, and material properties. Candidate will need to develop and apply quality testing methods and criteria to evaluate sensor systems and the resulting imagery products for exploitation missions. Simulation and modeling experience and ability to develop algorithm description documentation for software development is needed. Based on the priorities of the customer, the image scientist will support product evaluations, quality studies, new product initializations, product algorithm assessments, or develop image quality equations to quantify the expected quality of a system given various parameters. Familiarity with current GEOINT systems, products and development, as well as the exploitation software packages will be necessary to develop and apply test and verification methodologies. General research is not a part of this position. The candidate will work within an existing team to complete tasks as prioritized by government customers. Good communication and teamwork are necessary. A history of delivering results is critical to success.
