The Opportunity:  

With cloud-based tools, faster GPUs, and the explosion of connected devices, geospatial data has more potential than ever. A skilled geospatial and remote sensing analyst can turn that data into mission critical information. If that sounds like you, we have an opportunity for you to use your geospatial analysis skills to help transform the national security enterprise.

We’re looking for an advanced geospatial and remote sensing analyst to lead our team of persistent infrared (PIR) specialists, research scientists, developers, and engineers as they enhance Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) technologies and methods and drive new states of the art. You’ll provide guidance to the team as they develop new products, solutions, and capabilities that answer your clients' most pressing GEOINT mission needs. Your technical expertise will be vital as you evaluate ways to transition and integrate new capabilities into operations.

On our team, you’ll also use your skills to leverage satellite and airborne data to address real-world national security priorities. You’ll engage mission stakeholders, collaborate with collection managers and analysts from across multiple agencies, and develop and facilitate geospatial solutions for strategic, operational, and tactical intelligence and defense objectives. You’ll share your expertise through leadership and mentoring as we work through problems and develop workflows.  

This is an opportunity to broaden your skillset into areas like data science, machine learning, and cloud engineering, while developing products to improve mission outcomes. As a technical leader, you’ll identify new opportunities to develop GEOINT solutions to help your customers meet their toughest challenges.  

Work with us as we turn data into knowledge to protect our nation.
