Image Scientist (Entry-level)

 We are seeking an Image Scientist who will support:

• Product evaluations, quality studies, new product initializations, product algorithm assessments, or develop image quality equations to quantify the expected quality of a system given various parameters.
• Candidate should have a working understanding and practical application of modeling components of the image path to include sensor, detector, atmospheric, and material properties.
• Simulation and modeling experience and ability to develop algorithm description documentation for software development is needed.
• Familiarity with current Geospatial-Intelligence (GEOINT) systems, products and development, as well as exploitation software packages will be necessary to develop test and verification methodologies. GEOINT is a combination of Image intelligence (IMINT) and geolocation information.

Specific sub-tasks and activities to be performed include (but are not limited to):

• Sensor modeling; decomposing product formation elements to quantify the overall quality of the image chain
• Algorithm assessment to quantify the performance of a product with respect to desired mission applications
• Performing baseline assessment of system performance to support sensor initialization
• Operational monitoring of system performance over time
• Analysis of reported errors and artifacts and recommendation of possible causes and suggested corrective actions
• Generation of Image Quality Equations (IQEs)
• Relating the National Image Interpretability Ratings Scale (NIIRS) to physical characteristics of the image change
•  

Minimum Requirements:

• Willing and able to obtain a Top Secret security clearance and pass a counter-intelligence polygraph at the customer's request. 
• The contract requires an active TS/SCI clearance with Poly
• 0 years of work experience with STEM Bachelor's degree 
• Imaging Science; Physics, Electrical Engineering (or other engineering), Optics/Optical Engineering, Computer Science, Data Science, and/or Mathematics (combined with complimentary experience)
