Senior Spectral Scientist

Senior Spectral Scientist

As a spectral scientist you will focus on exploitation software development you will be developing software tools and plugins for processing and exploiting spectral, multispectral or hyperspectral data. You will work with multiple phenomenology types such as EO/IR, MSI, HSI and OPIR. Your tools will need to correlate results from multiple sensors across space and time. The goal is to be able to perform analysis on multiple data types and perform data fusion. Your tools will be tested and then made for use by the analytic community. You will be required to collaborate effectively with other team members who will also be building other tools to be used by other Community partners. Communication and collaboration are important aspects of this team to ensure tools run correctly and effectively.
