Apply with PipelineAbout the Role
<p><strong>What Impact You'll Have</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Deliver space and missile-related OPIR analysis and production that directly informs NASIC's scientific and technical intelligence mission for the USAF, DoD, and national-level intelligence customers</li>
<li>Provide the phenomenology-based tradecraft that turns raw OPIR sensor data into authoritative intelligence on foreign space and missile activity</li>
<li>Support both standard production threads and in-depth Space and Mission (SpaM) analytical efforts, contributing technical depth that differentiates NASIC's intelligence products</li>
<li>Apply signature modeling and target phenomenology expertise to strengthen the community's understanding of electro-optical and infrared target behavior</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What You'll Be Owning</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Perform OPIR processed data analysis and production in support of assigned production threads, applying knowledge of remote sensing fundamentals, detection phenomenology, and target phenomenology relevant to each thread</li>
<li>For In-Depth SpaM Analytical Support: apply detailed knowledge of OPIR sensor phenomenology, remote sensing fundamentals, detection phenomenology, and target phenomenology to produce higher-fidelity, more technically rigorous analysis</li>
<li>Analyze electro-optical (EO) and infrared (IR) target phenomenology to characterize and assess space and missile events</li>
<li>Apply community standard signature modeling codes to support target characterization and phenomenology assessments</li>
<li>Conduct OPIR data analysis and production tied to specific mission threads, ensuring outputs meet NASIC and mission partner requirements</li>
<li>Translate sensor phenomenology and modeling results into clear analytic products, assessments, and briefings for technical and non-technical stakeholders</li>
<li>Coordinate with sensor operations, PIR exploitation, and other production teams to ensure consistency and technical accuracy across OPIR-derived intelligence products</li>
<li>Maintain and apply current knowledge of evolving OPIR sensor systems, signature modeling tools, and phenomenology research relevant to assigned production threads</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What You Must Have</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Active TS/SCI clearance (or ability to obtain/transfer) — required to start</li>
<li>Bachelor's degree in a related technical/scientific field (Physics, Engineering, Remote Sensing, Astronomy, or similar), or equivalent experience/military-DoD training in lieu of degree</li>
<li>5+ years of relevant experience</li>
<li>Knowledge and experience in OPIR processed data analysis and production</li>
<li>Understanding of remote sensing fundamentals and detection phenomenology</li>
<li>Understanding of target phenomenology relevant to space and missile production threads</li>
<li>Strong analytic writing and briefing skills, with ability to produce and present technical intelligence products to NASIC leadership and mission partners</li>
<li>Ability to work independently and collaboratively across cross-functional production teams in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment</li>
<li>SIPRNet/JWICS experience and familiarity with multi-INT fusion workflows</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What Would Be Nice to Have</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Detailed knowledge and experience in OPIR sensor phenomenology, suitable for In-Depth SpaM Analytical Support roles</li>
<li>Significant experience with community standard signature modeling codes for EO/IR target phenomenology</li>
<li>Prior experience supporting NASIC, MDA, or another national intelligence/DoD space and missile analysis mission</li>
<li>Advanced degree (MS) in a relevant technical or scientific discipline</li>
<li>Familiarity with additional exploitation and modeling tools common to OPIR/GEOINT/MASINT production environments (e.g., ArcGIS, ENVI, SOCET GXP, MATLAB, or similar)</li>
<li>Prior work on a NOVASTAR, ATEP II, or similar NASIC-supporting contract vehicle</li>
