Photogrammetrist

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

- 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)
- Image processing and Digital Signal processing experience
