* Active TS/TSI Clearance w/ Poly
* Bachelor's degree in Image Science, Optics, Applied Physics, Mathematics, or Engineering with 5 or more years of relevant experience, or master's degree with comparable experience
* Demonstrated ability to perform technical analysis of EO remote sensing data; image processing and digital signal processing experience; image chain analysis
* Excellent presentation and communication skills; demonstrated ability to clearly explain technical issues to technical and non-technical audiences
* Demonstrated ability and success working independently and in team environments
* Customer focused and capable of representing the customer in user outreach, familiarity activities and community forums
* Experience developing/modifying engineering code in at least one of Python, MATLAB, ENVI/IDL or similar to solve hard problems and create processes for repeatable results

Desired:

* Bachelor's degree in Image Science, Optics, Applied Physics, Mathematics, or Engineering with 10 or more years of relevant experience, or master's degree with comparable experience
* Project management or leadership experience
* Experience working on product initialization teams
* Experience with one or more of PAN, IR, MSI, HSI, LIDAR, RADAR, OPIR systems and analysis
