Responsibilities

  • Define operational needs in coordination with government leaders, research and development teams, and operations analysts
  • Lead the prototyping and development of advanced OPIR data-processing algorithms and support their transition to operational environments
  • Evaluate and troubleshoot data-processing pipelines, identify anomalies, and coordinate remediation strategies
  • Prepare and deliver white papers, technical reports, and briefings

  • Advanced knowledge of EO/IR signal processing and target-system phenomenology
  • In-depth experience with OPIR data formats and processing pipelines
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including the ability to diagnose sensor-performance issues, data anomalies, and software problems

Candidates who have any of the following skills will be preferred:

  • Master’s degree or PhD in remote sensing, engineering, mathematics, physics, or a related technical field
  • Direct experience performing OPIR analysis
  • Experience collaborating with the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC), or other Intelligence Community organizations
  • Advanced Python software-development skills

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
