What is the difference between Remote Data Detective vs Remote Data Analyst?

AspectRemote Data DetectiveRemote Data Analyst
Required CredentialsData analysis certifications, problem-solving skillsData analysis certifications, statistical knowledge
Work EnvironmentRemote, independent research and investigationRemote, data interpretation and reporting
Employer & Industry UsageTech, finance, consulting firmsBusiness, marketing, finance sectors
Search & Comparison IntentUnderstanding investigative data rolesAnalyzing data trends and reports

While both roles involve working with data remotely, a Remote Data Detective focuses on investigative tasks, uncovering hidden insights and solving complex data puzzles. In contrast, a Remote Data Analyst primarily interprets data to generate reports and support decision-making. Both roles require strong analytical skills and relevant certifications, but their core functions differ in approach and objectives.

How to become a remote data detective?

To become a remote data detective, develop strong analytical skills, proficiency in data analysis tools like Excel, SQL, or Python, and a solid understanding of data privacy and security. Gaining experience through relevant projects or certifications such as Certified Data Professional can also enhance your qualifications for remote investigative roles involving data analysis and security. Working independently requires good communication skills and self-discipline to manage tasks remotely.

Job description

Join a R&D program that is focused on using Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) algorithms and models, particularly Computer Vision, applied to Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) sensors and platforms for object detection, object tracking, object classification, and pattern detection.  The program is involved in developing, testing, fielding, and integrating Computer Vision models for geospatial data. Your job will be to process and condition the geospatial data, and to format it to specific standards so that it can be used for AI solution development. The background that we are looking for is twofold - Data Science experience and deep experience with EO imagery (electro-optical).  You will get to join a highly functioning team to develop cutting edge solutions for complex problems.

Requirements:
  • Strong background in data science WITH experience in at least one of the following:  remote sensing, image processing, or image science
    • At least 4 years of experience with EO imagery…an understanding of collection, phenomenology, image formation process, and exploitation products
  • Background with electromagnetic spectrum (e.g., electro-optical) exploitation to detect occurrence and location of objects
  • Ability to develop, test, and evaluate new algorithms, processes, methodologies, and products using EO imagery including experience utilizing advanced processing tools (e.g., Python, MATLAB, Google Earth Engine, etc.) to automate scientific processes of EO imagery data to aid analysis.
  • Communication skills that allow you to engage with a variety of technical and non-technical audiences on availability and capabilities of EO imagery products, methodologies, procedures, and algorithms to enhance analysis.
  • Strong understanding of the principles of remote sensing and imagery processing and advanced exploitation methods
  • TS/SCI with CI Poly (we can pipeline your poly if you don’t already have it, but you must be willing to take the exam)
  • 13 years of relevant experience and a Master’s degree
    • (substitutions are allowed for different types of degrees, and many things can be applied towards experience – e.g., internships, certifications, professional publications, etc. )
What You Will Do:
  • Obtain new data and identify potential latency associated with acquisition, data formats, and security domains
  • Pre-process and standardize data to match existing data standards or transform into a usable state for labeling and model testing purposes
  • Interact with SAR Imagery Scientists to provide coincident EO imagery
  • Identify potential differences between new sensor characteristics and capabilities compared to currently utilized platforms
  • Identify potential differences in metadata, data format, and data structure characteristics regarding changes to databases, schemas, APIs, and other ETL-related processes for the ingestion and movement of data when integrating into the existing data operations pipeline
  • Determine if there are gaps in the newly obtained GEOINT or sensor data that may need to be supplemented by other sources
Bonus Skills:
  • Experience applying CV and machine learning (ML) techniques to EO imagery and data to address intelligence problems
Other Information:
  • Occasional travel may be required outside of the DC area to support events or exercises
  • Local travel may be required to attend meetings at government facilities
  • Surge support may be needed at times to support crisis situations
  • Work is located at CTR facility
  • Work schedule is flexible, but a good amount of team collaboration is required which generally occurs M-F from 0900-1500 EST and team members should do their best to be reachable during those core hours
