Imagery Analyst

Job Type

Full-time

Description

In support of Marine Corps Intelligence Activity (MCIA), NATECH is recruiting for an Imagery Scientist to advance techniques to determine and exploit the full value of information from a range of imaging sensors by focusing on non-visible portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Uses phenomenological studies to develop new approaches and capabilities to enable imagery analysts' exploitation of arrange of unique phenomenologies associated with multispectral, hyperspectral, radar and thermal signatures. Develops algorithms, tools, and creates customized methodologies and products to address geospatial intelligence requirements. Prepares products to describe and document findings and activities.

Duties and Responsibilities :

• Provide imagery science support specifically related to the exploitation of imagery of the following sensor disciplines : Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), Thermal Infrared, Spectral, or Geospatial to include OPIR, Moving Target Indicator (MTI), Photogrammetry and Light Imaging Detection and Ranging (LIDAR).
• Provide technical analytical expertise in support of the USMC National Geospatial-Intelligence Program funded Full Spectrum GEOINT (FSG) analysis and production program.
• Provide recommendations of operational GEOINT architectures, and FSG guidance to analysts, operators, and managers on processes, techniques and procedures.
• Participate in the development of program strategies, issues papers, briefings, and senior-level correspondence for MCIA and HQ USMC leadership necessary to sustain and expand FSG analysis and production capabilities to meet current and future USMC operations.
• Provide technical assistance in establishing relationships NSG functional managers to promote service specific GEOINT requirements and resolve shortfall impacts to MCIA GEOINT
• Provide guidance and expertise to improve competency of military and civilian analysts in applying advanced remote sensing techniques.
• Support the development of collection strategies for standing, ad hoc, and emerging FSG capabilities; the investigation of and reporting on collection parameters and any associated constraints associated with littoral mission requirements; and the education and training of MCIA collections staff on existing collection strategies and collection strategy development and implementation.
• Support the development and dissemination of FSG products to satisfy USMC and Government requirements including the fusion of FSG products with data, information, and products from other Intelligence disciplines (e.g., HUMINT, SIGINT, OSINT, MASINT).
• Provide knowledge on a variety of geospatial exploitation software suites and be able to use data and products from a variety of sensors and collection platforms.
• Develop and standardize innovative and adaptive full spectrum GEOINT products and services.
• Provide research and guidance on sensor application to specific geospatial problem sets, sensor-specific processing techniques, and related training / education.
• Assist in analyzing and conducting statistical analyses on image datasets, and in identifying and using alternative data sources to satisfy specific mission requirements.
• Collaborate with and provide scientific support to imagery / geospatial analysis to sharpen assessments of current intelligence issues.
• Provide Imagery Science expertise to support GEOINT analysis and assessments on intelligence issues.
• Evaluate commercial, academic, and outside approaches and algorithms, refinement, development of measures of effectiveness, improvements to system environments, and creation of new procedures.
