Job description
Looking for an opportunity to make an impact?
We are seeking Airborne Sensor Operators (ASO) to execute remote sensing wide area data collection missions for the US Army Geospatial Center on the HR3DGI program. Operators may be required to install and operate Global Positing Systems (GPS), radio communication equipment, Internet Relay Chat (mIRC), Tactical Common Data Link (TDCL), various air surveillance and reconnaissance equipment, and various airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) and electro-optical (EO) sensors at CONUS and OCONUS locations. The ASO will be responsible for collecting and analyzing information while safely and effectively functioning as an aircrew member on a multi-position aircraft. Standard deployment rotations are 2-3 months.
The Operator will work only while on a training status or on a deployment rotation supporting CONUS or OCONUS collection missions. All other times they will be on leave without pay (LWOP). Training will be conducted in Northern Virginia, but relocation is not required for this position.
