TULK is hiring a mid-level GEOINT Imagery Subject Matter Expert to support GEOINT tradecraft training for the National Geospatial-Intelligence College. This role is a strong fit for an imagery analyst, GEOINT analyst, sensor specialist, or mission professional who has hands‑on experience using imagery and sensor‑derived data to support intelligence problems.

This is not a purely engineering or sensor‑design role. The best candidates will understand how imagery, motion imagery, SAR, spectral, OPIR, TIR, FMV, MSI, HSI, or related GEOINT data sources are used by analysts to identify activity, characterize features, answer intelligence questions, and support mission decisions.

TULK is a boutique strategic technology and management consulting firm supporting U.S. Federal Government, Defense, Intelligence Community, and National Security customers. Our cleared teams help mission organizations operate, communicate, analyze, plan, teach, and execute in dynamic environments.

TULK offers a tailored benefits package that may include medical, dental, and vision insurance, short‑and‑long‑term disability, flexible work schedules where permitted by the customer, performance and referral bonuses, technology support, tuition reimbursement, 401(k), and professional development support.

The GEOINT Imagery Analysis SME, Mid supports instruction, courseware maintenance, and learning development for imagery and sensor‑focused GEOINT tradecraft. The role helps students understand how different sensor types collect information, how that information supports imagery analysis, and how analysts apply sensor‑derived data in practical mission contexts.

Mid‑level SMEs support fundamental and intermediate learning. They should be able to explain key tradecraft concepts clearly, apply sensor and imagery knowledge to routine and non‑routine mission scenarios, and help students work through problem‑based exercises, discussions, and assessments.

• Deliver GEOINT Sensors and imagery-focused tradecraft instruction for NGC courses and learning events.
• Teach and reinforce how imagery and sensor‑derived data support GEOINT analysis, intelligence questions, and mission decisions.
• Support learning related to imagery analysis, motion imagery, FMV, SAR, OPIR, TIR, MSI, HSI, spectral imagery, and other GEOINT data sources, as applicable to course requirements.
• Help students understand sensor capabilities, limitations, collection considerations, signatures, phenomenology, exploitation workflows, and analytic applications.
• Translate operational imagery and sensor experience into practical, scenario‑based instruction for adult learners.
• Maintain and update courseware, exercises, exams, briefings, practical applications, and supporting learning materials.
• Support development and implementation of new GEOINT learning solutions by providing imagery and sensor subject matter expertise.
• Coordinate with course managers, learning developers, instructors, government stakeholders, and other GEOINT SMEs.

• Current TS/SCI clearance or TS/SCI eligibility.
• Bachelor's degree from an accredited institution in a relevant field, or equivalent mission experience.
• At least 5 years of experience in imagery analysis, GEOINT analysis, sensor‑based intelligence, FMV, SAR, spectral imagery, OPIR, TIR, MSI/HSI, motion imagery, or related GEOINT tradecraft.
• Working knowledge of how imagery and sensor‑derived data are used to identify, characterize, assess, and communicate mission‑relevant information.
• Ability to explain technical and analytic concepts clearly to adult learners.
• Ability to support in‑person, virtual, blended, and scenario‑based instruction.
• Ability to work on‑site as required by the customer and travel for mobile training support when needed.

• Experience as an imagery analyst, GEOINT analyst, FMV analyst, sensor SME, imagery scientist, collection specialist, or GEOINT instructor.
• Experience supporting NGA, DoD, IC, military, or operational GEOINT mission environments.
• Experience teaching, mentoring, coaching, briefing, or training analysts or mission users.
• DoD Basic Instructor Certification or equivalent instructor certification.
• Experience developing or maintaining instructional materials, exercises, exams, briefings, job aids, or analytic tradecraft products.
• Familiarity with imagery exploitation systems, sensor tasking considerations, collection‑to‑analysis workflows, or multi‑INT integration.
• Background in imagery analysis, imaging science, SAR, OPIR, TIR, spectral imagery, FMV, motion imagery, mensuration, or related GEOINT sensor applications.

You are an imagery or GEOINT professional who understands how sensor data becomes useful intelligence. You can explain not just what a sensor collects, but why it matters, how analysts use it, what its limitations are, and how it supports decisions. You enjoy helping others build practical tradecraft and can turn operational experience into clear instruction, exercises, and courseware.
