Imagery Scientist
Imagery Scientist Belong, Connect, Grow, with KBR! Program Summary: We are seeking a skilled Imagery Scientist to join our team supporting advanced geospatial intelligence missions. The successful candidate will process and analyze non-literal EO passive sensor data from satellite and aerial platforms, developing high-quality intelligence products. This role emphasizes technical expertise in remote sensing, image exploitation, and geospatial analysis to derive actionable insights for defense, national security, and related applications. Key Responsibilities
- Process and analyze non-literal EO passive sensor data to extract intelligence value, including spectral, spatial, and temporal characteristics.
- Produce and deliver high-quality analysis products, including:
- Detailed analysis reports summarizing findings and methodologies.
- Data deliverables such as processed datasets and derived products.
- Comprehensive technical imagery science reports documenting advanced exploitation techniques and results.
- Shapefiles and geospatial vector layers for feature extraction and mapping.
- Signatures (spectral, spatial, or temporal) for target characterization and change detection.
- Supporting graphics , visualizations, and annotated imagery products.
- Develop and apply custom algorithms and workflows for imagery exploitation using programming and specialized tools.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate imagery science outputs into broader GEOINT assessments.
- Stay current with emerging remote sensing technologies and contribute to process improvements.
- Bachelor's degree (Master's or PhD preferred) in Imagery Science, Remote Sensing, Physics, Electrical Engineering, Geospatial Sciences, or a related STEM field.
- 4+ years of professional experience in imagery science, remote sensing analysis, or GEOINT exploitation (additional years of experience may substitute for advanced degrees).
- Coding background with proficiency in:
- Python (required for scripting, automation, and algorithm development).
- MATLAB (for signal processing and prototyping).
- ArcGIS (essential for geospatial analysis, mapping, and product generation; ArcPy scripting a plus).
- Hands-on experience with key GEOINT tools , including:
- ESRI suite (ArcGIS Pro, ArcMap).
- ENVI for hyperspectral and multispectral image processing.
- Solid foundation in data analysis , including:
- Signal processing techniques.
- Photogrammetry principles and applications.
- In-depth imagery processing knowledge, with demonstrated coding experience to support custom processing pipelines.
- Strong remote sensing expertise across multiple modalities, including:
- Satellite and aerial platforms.
- Hyperspectral imaging.
- IR (infrared) data.
- SAR (synthetic aperture radar).
- Multispectral sensors.
- Experience working with non-literal EO passive sensor data exploitation.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills for producing technical reports and briefing senior stakeholders.
- Active TS/SCI security clearance
