Remote Sensing Scientist

Description: JOB TITLE/TYPE:Remote Sensing Scientist/Full-TimePAY RANGE:$120,000.00 - $200,000.00 Are you looking for more than just a seat on a contract? Are you looking for a place where your work truly matters? At Skyline Scientific, your ideas won’t get buried in bureaucracy—they’ll directly shape mission-critical capabilities for the intelligence and defense communities. Our engineers build cutting-edge software that powers real-world remote sensing, OPIR, and dynamic sensor operations. You’ll work alongside experts in AI, high-performance computing, and advanced analytics to solve some of the hardest technical challenges in national security. With top-tier benefits, an entrepreneurial culture, and a close-knit team that values innovation, this is the environment where senior engineers can make a real, measurable impact. Skyline is looking for aRemote Sensing Scientistto lead research, algorithm development, and advanced analytics for cutting-edge electro-optical and infrared sensing systems. This role applies physics-based modeling, image science, and data analytics to detect, track, locate, and characterize remote sensing targets. While familiarity with OPIR is valuable, the primary emphasis is on EO/IR phenomenology, sensor performance, and multi-platform remote sensing analytics in support of intelligence and defense missions.
