Photogrammetrist

Responsibilities: 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.

Qualifications: RequiredActive Top Secret clearance, and willing to upgrade to TS/SCI as well as the ability to pass a polygraph within 30 days of employment or at the customer's request. Bachelor's degree in Photogrammetry, Image Science, Physics, Mathematics, or Statistics. 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. DesiredUnderstanding 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).
