Job Description

Image scientist will support:

• Product evaluations, quality studies, new product initializations, product algorithm assessments, or develop image quality equations to quantify the expected quality of a system given various parameters.
• Candidate should have a working understanding and practical application of modeling components of the image path to include sensor, detector, atmospheric, and material properties.
• Simulation and modeling experience and ability to develop algorithm description documentation for software development is needed.
• Familiarity with current GEOINT systems, products and development, as well as exploitation software packages will be necessary to develop test and verification methodologies.

Specific sub-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
• Algorithm assessment to quantify the performance of a product given desire mission application
• Performing baseline assessment of system performance to support sensor initialization
• Operational monitoring of system performance over time
• Responding to detected errors and artifacts by recommending possible causes and corrective actions
• Generation of image quality equations
• Relating NIIRS to physical characteristics of the image change
