What You'll Do: 

• Evaluate and integrate new SAR sensors and platforms into existing data workflows, including sensors still in early development phases
• Assess differences between new and existing sensors including data formats, metadata structures, and processing requirements and determine changes needed for downstream use
• Pre-process, standardize, and tile imagery to specified formats and dimensions while preserving data integrity
• Develop conversion models to transform data across imagery formats and coordinate systems, ensuring geospatial accuracy
• Analyze image quality and sensor metadata to guide imagery acquisition and curation priorities
• Build automated methods to manage and curate large imagery datasets, including integrating with external data sources via APIs
• Support annotation workflows by identifying and flagging imagery containing objects of interest
• Source complementary imagery from other sensors to support multi-modal analysis
• Develop, test, and evaluate new algorithms and processing workflows using Python, MATLAB, or similar tools
• Manage routine and ad-hoc imagery delivery operations
• Communicate technical findings and capabilities to both technical and non-technical audiences

Required Qualifications:   

• Active TS/SCI eligibility with eligibility to obtain CI poly
• 4+ years of hands-on SAR expertise, including collection, phenomenology, image formation, and exploitation
• Experience with SARPy and/or MATLAB SAR toolbox
• Familiarity with SAR image quality assessment methods and sensor metadata
• Understanding of how geometry affects SAR phenomenology (e.g., graze angle, squint, azimuth)
• Experience exploiting SAR imagery for object detection and characterization
• Experience developing and automating geospatial or imagery processing workflows
• Strong foundation in remote sensing principles and geospatial data processing
• Clear communicator across technical and non-technical audiences

Desired Qualifications:  

• Experience applying machine learning or computer vision techniques to SAR or other remotely sensed data
• Experience working with multi-sensor or multi-modal imagery (e.g., SAR and EO)
• Familiarity with cloud-based geospatial processing platforms

• The expected salary range within the Washington, DC metropolitan area is: $190,000-$235,000. Final compensation is unique to each individual and will be determined based on factors such as experience, education, geographic location, and contractual requirements. This is not a guarantee.
