Location: St. Louis, MO

Position Description:The specific 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

• Geolocation and mensuration accuracy assessments

• Modeling geometric collection process to trace the exact location of a point on the ground to the pixel location on an image

• Support engineering analysis activities, including assessment projects related to the National System for Geospatial-Intelligence (NSG)

• Performing baseline assessment of system performance to support sensor initialization

• Operational monitoring of system performance over time

• Responding to detected errors by recommending possible causes and corrective actions

Required Experience/Education:

• Bachelor Degree (or equivalent work experience) in Photogrammetry, Cartography, Geography, Geomatics, Surveying, or related engineering disciplines

• Experience with various exploitation software such as ARC-GIS, SOCET GXP, QT Modeler, Active Earthscape, ERDAS Imagine, or Remote View

• 10 years of experience working with imagery and imagery platforms

• Geolocation and mensuration assessment experience

• Applied knowledge of sensor imaging systems, products, and exploitation processes

• Basic understanding of the systems engineering lifecycle to include independent testing and data verification

• Strong written and oral communication skills, with emphasis on briefing to obtain decisions and solve technical issues and test plans/reports writing

• Ability to work independently as well as part of a team

• Willingness to learn, solve problems and perform in a dynamic work environment

• Track record of delivering results

Preferred Skillset:

• Understanding and application of basic image quality standards, scales, and metrics

• Experience with image products and services such as the Digital Point Positioning Database (DPPDB), Controlled Image Base (CIB), or Orthorectified Commercial Imagery (CI-Ortho)
