Maven Exploitation Specialist/ Imagery Scientist (EO Focused) Expert

in NIIRS, information theoretic-based image quality metrics, and sensor metadata describing impacts of geometry on phenomenology • Execute day-to-day management of all imagery curation, acquisition, and pre-processing of imagery, such as image tiling, generation of pre-labels (i.e., labels generated from intelligence reporting, machine-derived observation, human observation, or other method that indicates the geospatial location and classification of an object according to a defined ontology used to tip and cue human labelers to an object of interest), and converting between file types in accordance with NGA Maven data strategies

• Manage daily imagery operations including:

• Curation, acquisition, and pre-processing activities

• Image tiling and file type conversion

• Generation of pre-labels derived from: Intelligence reporting, Machine-derived observations, Human observations, other methods identifying geospatial location and object classification.

Pre-labels must conform to defined ontology standards and serve to tip and cue human labelers to objects of interest.

• Provide EO imagery coincident with any SAR delivered imagery within a specified geographic and temporal range

• Provide EO imagery coincident with any SAR delivered imagery within a specified geographic and temporal range

• Identify methods to curate imagery according to Government directed prioritization.

Examples of curation methods include using Natural Language Processing (NLP) to extract information from Intelligence Reporting, develop automated or semi-automated machine-based technologies to maximize likelihood of imagery with objects of interest or connect to intelligence repositories via API 12

Monitor and prioritize data holdings to support data diversity needs defined by the Government (e.g., different geographic regions, temporal windows, metadata characteristics, scene characteristics, image sensor platforms) • Oversee weekly deliveries of processed imagery and conduct ad-hoc deliveries as needed for quick-tum operations support

• 4+ years as an EO expert with understanding of collection, phenomenology, image formation process, and exploitation products. • Exhibit experience exploiting the electromagnetic spectrum ( e.g., electro-optical) to determine the occurrence and location of objects of interest • Exhibit experience developing, testing, and evaluating new algorithms, processes, methodologies, and products using EO imagery including experience utilizing advanced processing tools (e.g., Python, MATLAB, Google Earth Engine, etc.) to automate scientific processes of EO imagery data to aid analysis. • Exhibit experience communicating with a variety of technical and non-technical audiences on availability and capabilities ofEO imagery products, methodologies, procedures, and algorithms to enhance analysis. • Exhibit a deep understanding of the principles of remote sensing and imagery processing and advanced exploitation methods

• Exhibit experience applying CV and machine learning (ML) techniques to EO imagery and data to address intelligence problems.
