Responsibilities

Our operations analysts specialize in employing models to represent mission information in all domains and at all levels (subsystems, platforms, and capabilities). We're looking for a skilled Operations Analyst with deep Operations/Campaign-level analysis experience who can provide strategic architecture/design insights to deliver on an integrated system to more rapidly enable the best decisions to be made as quickly as possible for the end user. Our cloud-deployed pipelines will ensure scalability and security, helping to transform NGA's GEOINT capabilities.

In this role you will:

• Engage with space-related customers to understand their space-related analysis needs and translate them strategically into work products.
• Understand, manage, and translate current and Future Operational Concepts (FOCs) and Operations/Campaign scenarios (e.g., JFOS-Joint Force Operational Scenarios) into scalable MBSE data models which interact with and augment the existing subsystems, platforms, capabilities, and mission models.
• Engage NGA/allied customers to translate GEOINT needs into work products.
• Model GEOINT operational scenarios (e.g., Five Eyes missions) in our MBSE framework, integrating multi-source imagery and demonstrating GEOINT insights to stakeholders.
• Collaborate with software architects, senior developers, other operations analysts, data scientists, and leadership to help architect/design interaction of the MBSE data models with other critical software capabilities and components to deliver mission success.
• Dive into research on technical development aspects to ensure Operations/Campaign models are accurate and be able to demonstrate analytical products and analyses to customers.

Qualifications

Required:

• Bachelor's degree in a STEM field with 10+ years of professional experience or master's degree in a STEM field with 8+ years of professional experience. May substitute educational degree for experience.
• Expertise in GEOINT operational analysis for national security/allied missions.
• GEOINT knowledge: imagery analysis, change detection, maritime/infrastructure analysis, ISR.
• NGA/DoD/IC GEOINT experience in operational/analytical roles.
• Relevant joint space warfighting experience in an operational, science and technology, or operational test organization.
• Exposure to modeling, simulation, and analysis tools e.g. ArcGIS, ENVI.
• Proven track record of engaging with customers, product users, and coworkers to create innovative solutions to complex problems.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, and SharePoint.
• Possess a natural curiosity and desire to challenge yourself and those around you.
