Job description

****Geo-Spatial Engineer****
Serve as a Geospatial Engineer Subject Matter Expert (SME) within the
JC3-Functional Defeat (FD) Branch, responsible for the development of
virtual and physics-based 3D models to support mission planning and
minimizing collateral damage effects. You will be responsible for reviewing
multiple intelligence sources to recreate surface and sub-surface structures
in a virtual environment, which will be used as a part of larger 3D
representations, or to calculate and predict blast effects. Our team is
committed to delivering exceptional results, and we're looking for a highly
skilled and experienced SME to join our team. What You Will Be Doing
As a Geospatial Engineer, this position will be responsible for:
. Recreating real-world structures in a high-fidelity virtual
environment to support mission planning and collateral effects assessments.
. Utilizing imagery analysis skills to determine the construction and
design of surface and sub-surface structures.
. Utilizing GIS skills to transform vector and raster data into
desired formats, combining them into larger datasets, and presenting them in
a 3D environment.
. Collaborating with cross-function teams to develop plans and
products.
. Providing technical guidance and expertise to junior team members
and stakeholders. Basic Qualifications:
Pre deployable physical required
10% time spent TDY

Required short notice recall Desired Skills:
Physics Modeling Skills (IMEA/UTAS):
. Proficient in creating accurate building models derived from multiple intelligence sources.
. Able to apply weaponeering solutions to developed models.
. Capable of explaining predictive modeling results clearly to technical and non-technical audiences. Visual Modeling Skills (SketchUp):
. Create accurate, detailed 3D models of buildings, structures, and site layouts using Trimble SketchUp.
. Interpret architectural drawings, engineering plans, floor layouts, and imagery to generate precise 3D representations. Imagery Analysis Skills (SocetGXP):
. Review historical imagery to identify design and layout of buildings and structures
. Mensurate objects on imagery to accurately recreate in a 3D environment. GIS Skills (ArcGIS Pro and TerraExplorer):
. Familiarly with vector and raster formats.
. Ability to convert vector and raster data to desired formats and map projections.
. Import and symbolize traditional GIS data and 3D content into a TerraExplorer project.
. Build and maintain interactive fly-through presentations in TerraExplorer.
