Work From Home Sar Analyst Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Description

GEOINT SAR Analyst

Etegent Technologies is a defense-focused technology company with offices in Beavercreek and Blue Ash, OH. We are a multi-disciplinary team of engineers, scientists, and management professionals dedicated to developing and commercializing Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Software solutions that address our customers' most significant challenges and opportunities.

Most important to us are our culture and values. Etegent's culture embodies respect, authenticity, collaboration, flexibility, curiosity, and fun. 

The Position:

Etegent is seeking a Geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) analyst to work in a team environment with Etegent researchers and partner analysts. This role is part of a long-term effort developing new deep learning capabilities to address critical needs in the intelligence community. 

The Candidate:

More so than seeking candidates with specific training and experience, Etegent seeks a special type of person; someone with an innate curiosity and passion for learning and understanding, tempered by a recognition of the pragmatic constraints inherent in developing real solutions to real problems. They are flexible and adaptable, having the desire and ability to learn new skills and theory to take on challenges outside their current realm of experience.

An intelligence analyst with a strong foundation in GEOINT imagery exploitation and a genuine interest in creating and improving innovative, elegant capabilities to glean knowledge and understanding from large, diverse intelligence and imagery sources in the DoD, IC and commercial fields will be a great fit for this position. This person will naturally recognize the opportunities to enhance and optimize current software tools and work flows they use, and "think outside the box" to envision how they can be improved to help make analysts more effective, efficient and inspired by the work they accomplish.

Responsibilities:

• Exploit SAR and intelligence sources to identify and annotate targets of interest in SAR imagery to more effectively train machine learning algorithms.
• Exploit imagery and intelligence source to adjudicate target detection algorithm results within GEOINT imagery.
• Research targets of interest including physical characteristics and equipment configurations, order of battle/pattern of life, target locations and available intelligence sources and imagery.
• Coordinate with other analysts to gather feedback and suggest improvements to the workflow and software tools used.
• Work with a team of analysts and engineers to improve the processes and software tools used to exploit, annotate and quality control annotations within GEOINT imagery.

Requirements

Required Qualifications:

• 2 or more years of relevant, demonstrated experience in GEOINT imagery analysis with a specialization and expertise in SAR image analysis.
• An active DoD Top Secret clearance with SCI eligibility is required. Candidates are required to have an active Top Secret clearance with SCI eligibility upon hire, and the ability to maintain this level of clearance during employment.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Thorough understanding of SAR imagery exploitation tools and techniques.
• Familiarity with DoD/IC Structured Observation Management (SOM) tools and methodologies.
• Familiarity with GEOINT machine learning data curation and algorithm adjudication.
• Familiarity with NASIC and other DoD/IC organizations.
• Familiarity with DoD/IC intelligence sources and imagery search and retrieval tools.
• Experience with other remote sensing data modalities such as spectral, EO, FMV, sonar, etc.
• Experience with programming/analysis tools such as ENVI/IDL, MATLAB, Python or R.
• A Bachelor of Science degree in image science, remote sensing, GIS, Geography, earth science, physical science, engineering, or similar engineering/science fields.

Attributes:

• Strong team player able to thrive in a fast-moving, multidisciplinary environment.
• Energized, passionate, and an effective communicator.

Working at Etegent:

At Etegent, you'll be part of a fast-growing organization that combines a small-company family feel with big-company resources and opportunities. We work hard, but we also want you to have fun.
