Job Details

We are seeking an experiencedRemote SensingAlgorithm Engineerwho specializes in multiple modalities,sensor technologies and spectral phenomenology such as EO/IR, MSI, and HSI to support a large R&D program that is focused on providing advanced intelligence analysis for the benefit of the DoD and IC communities. Please note that we are not looking for an imagery analyst. The right candidate will have software engineering/software development skills coupled with an in depth backgroundand understanding of sensor capabilities and expertise in processing collected data to derive meaningful insights.

Key Responsibilities:

As part of a research and development team, you will...

• collaborate with analysts and engineers to create innovative solutions that improve data exploitation capabilities.
• design and implement algorithms that enhance target detection, material identification, and geospatial analysis
• focus on integrating and optimizing software tools for end-users in the GEOINT and IMINT analytic community
• produce technical documentation

Required Skills:

• Ability to develop, test, and validate remote sensing algorithms for geospatial applications.
• Strong programming skills in Python,ENVI/IDL, C++ and Matlab
• Background inremote sensing techniques, especially with hyperspectral image processing techniquesand data calibration .
• Demonstrated experience developing tools for hyperspectral data analysis
• Effective collaboration skills to work with interdisciplinary teams across the DoD and IC

Desired Bonus Skills:

• Advanced mathematical expertise in areas such as machine learning for spectral data.
• Background in physics-based modeling and signal processing for remote sensing applications.
• Familiarity with hyperspectral image calibration and preprocessing techniques.
• Hands-on experience with portable or handheldfield instrumentation devices such as FTIRs, Hyperspectral imaging cameras, spectroradiometers, or spectrometers(e.g. ASD, SVC, D&P, Exoscan, Bayspec OCI Series, Spectral Evolution PSR Series,Headwall Photonics Nano-Hyperspec, Micro-Hyperspec )
