The ideal candidate is an experienced SAR imagery scientist with a passion for advanced scientific problem solving, imagery exploitation, and operational intelligence support.

  • Determine how to pre-process and standardize the data to match existing data standards or to be transformed into a usable state for labeling and model testing purposes. This may include converting between file format types or tiling full-size images into specified sizes or geospatial bounds.

What You Must Have

  • Active TS/SCI Clearance with the ability to obtain a CI/Poly
  • 4 years as a SAR expert with understanding of collection, phenomenology, image formation process, and exploitation products.
  • Experience SAR imagery quality metrics and sensor metadata describing impacts of geometry on phenomenology
  • Exhibit experience exploiting SAR to determine the occurrence and location of objects of interest
  • Exhibit experience communicating with a variety of technical and non-technical audiences on availability and capabilities of SAR imagery products, methodologies, procedures, and algorithms to enhance analysis.
