• Develop, prototype, and implement advanced data-processing algorithms using Python, MATLAB, and other analytical environments.
• Investigate sensor and target phenomenology and develop test plans, sensor-collection scenarios, and experiments to address complex detection and tracking challenges.
• Evaluate and troubleshoot data-processing workflows, identify anomalies or software-logic issues, and coordinate remediation strategies.
• Support the development of concepts of operations (CONOPS), white papers, technical documentation, and transition plans for emerging sensor capabilities and processing architectures.
• Collaborate with research organizations, Department of Defense stakeholders, Intelligence Community organizations, and external agencies to evaluate and integrate emerging sensing and exploitation technologies.

Required Qualifications

• Active TS/SCI clearance.
• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in physics, computer engineering, space systems, or a related technical field.
• At least six years of experience in EO/IR systems engineering, OPIR analysis, remote sensing, or a related mission area.
• Demonstrated experience with OPIR data formats, processing workflows, or SBIRS exploitation tools.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including the ability to diagnose sensor-performance issues, data anomalies, and software-logic problems.

Desired Qualifications

• Experience collaborating with NASIC or other Intelligence Community organizations.
• Experience developing CONOPS, technical documentation, or training materials.
