GEOINT/SIGINT Data Scientist - Cross-Domain Analytics

Socket.dev; Chantilly (VA); On-site; USD 120,000 - 170,000; Full time

Job summary

SAIC is seeking a GEOINT SIGINT Data Scientist to deliver SETA support for a Chantilly, VA program that drives data-informed decisions across GEOINT, SIGINT, and multi-INT systems. The role emphasizes complex data analysis and mission impact assessment.

You will guide analytic strategy, support data quality across lifecycles, and collaborate with teams to ensure robust data pipelines and scalable modeling across enterprise ground architectures.

Responsibilities

• Supports exploitation, characterization, and modeling of imagery-derived data; integrates sensor-specific metadata, collection geometry, and phenomenology into analytic workflows to improve mission performance assessments.
• Supports ingestion, normalization, and fusion of structured and unstructured SIGINT data; evaluates signal quality, collection parameters, and processing pipelines to enhance end-to-end ground system reliability.
• Develops and evaluates data models that combine GEOINT, SIGINT, and mission-system telemetry to support cross-domain situational awareness and enterprise-level decision-making.
• Supports designing and managing data sets to ensure efficient data flow and interoperability with existing and emerging programs.
• Supports the collection and integration of large, complex data sets that meet cross-organizational requirements, including GEOINT/SIGINT mission data repositories and ground processing systems.
• Evaluates data quality, reliability, and efficiency throughout the data lifecycle, including sensor-specific artifacts, collection constraints, and mission-system dependencies.
• Collaborates with other data scientists, software developers, operators, project managers, and clients to prepare data for predictive modeling across GEOINT and SIGINT mission threads.
• Documents internal process improvements to optimize data delivery and automate manual processes within ground enterprise workflows.
• Supports testing and validation procedures to ensure operational platforms function correctly, including gathering user feedback, identifying issues, conducting updates, and performing routine quality assurance checks on GEOINT/SIGINT data pipelines.
• Supports the development of essential technical documentation for reference and reporting, including processes, system specifications, and modifications related to GEOINT/SIGINT data handling and mission-system integration.
• Supports data compliance with regulations, develops guidance, and promotes ethical use of developed platforms, data repositories, and relevant technical records.
