PIR Exploitation Analyst

What Impact Youll Have

• Directly support the National Air and Space Intelligence Centers (NASIC) scientific and technical intelligence mission delivering PIR exploitation products that inform Missile Defense Agency (MDA) test planning sensor calibration and national-level threat characterization
• Shape how emerging OPIR GEOINT and MASINT sensor data is fused analyzed and turned into actionable intelligence for warfighters acquisition decision-makers and policymakers
• Work at the leading edge of space-based remote sensing and IR phenomenology helping close critical gaps between raw collection and usable intelligence on foreign missile and weapons development
• Contribute tradecraft and technical judgment that feeds directly into MDA test event planning ensuring collection requirements are met and sensor performance is properly characterized

What Youll Be Owning

• Apply PIR exploitation tradecraft and structured analytic workflows to process characterize and report on infrared sensor data and events
• Perform IR sensor operations support including data quality review sensor performance assessment and exploitation of thermal/spectral signatures
• Conduct IR signature phenomenology analysis to distinguish classify and characterize target events (e.g. missile launches plumes thermal anomalies) from background and false alarms
• Apply space-based remote sensing principles to support tasking collection and exploitation across OPIR and related sensor architectures
• Develop test and refine algorithms for signal processing and automated/semi-automated data exploitation workflows
• Plan and execute field test events and data collections coordinating sensor tasking ground truth collection and post-event data capture
• Perform advanced data analysis and signal processing on multi-INT datasets to support technical intelligence assessments
• Integrate understanding of OPIR GEOINT and MASINT sensor systems and data products to support MDA test requirements collection planning and mission partner needs
• Produce and present technical intelligence assessments briefings and written products to NASIC leadership mission partners and national-level customers
• Coordinate with cross-functional teams (systems engineers program management other INT disciplines) to ensure exploitation workflows align with mission and program objectives

What You Must Have

• Active TS/SCI clearance (or ability to obtain/transfer) required to start
• Bachelors degree in a related technical field (Physics Engineering Math Remote Sensing or similar) or equivalent experience/military-DoD training in lieu of degree
• 5 years of relevant work experience
• Demonstrated experience in PIR/OPIR exploitation IR sensor data analysis or related technical intelligence disciplines
• Working knowledge of IR signature phenomenology and space-based remote sensing concepts
• Experience with algorithm development/programming applied to sensor data exploitation or signal processing (e.g. MATLAB Python or similar)
• Familiarity with field test planning data collection execution or sensor tasking/collection processes
• Understanding of OPIR GEOINT and/or MASINT sensor systems data types and exploitation tools (e.g. ArcGIS ENVI SOCET GXP Remote View or equivalent)
• SIPRNet/JWICS experience and familiarity with multi-INT fusion workflows across GEOINT MASINT and SIGINT
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with ability to produce technical reports and briefings for senior stakeholders
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced mission-focused environment

What Would Be Nice to Have

• Prior experience supporting NASIC MDA or a related national intelligence/DoW collection organization
• Direct experience with MDA test planning sensor performance characterization or missile defense collection requirements
• Advanced degree (MS) in a relevant technical or scientific discipline
• Experience with additional exploitation tools (IOTS TMS GAT RET HAAPi PDP Viewer COMET Palette Black Wolf MIST ERDAS IMAGINE AGITK WARP GETS or similar)
• Signal processing experience specific to infrared radar or RF sensor phenomenology
• Prior work on a NOVASTAR ATEP II or similar NASIC-supporting contract vehicle
