Remote Sensing Scientist - Senior - GeoYeti

GeoYeti is a division of Bcore, a full-spectrum intelligence company built on trust and teamwork whose core mission is to innovate within the national security space. GeoYeti focuses on advanced analytics, data science, development of the applications that support such work.  We seek a senior REMOTE SENSING SCIENTIST to support a client in St Louis, MO.  We support a broad range of IC and DoD clients, though a common theme across our portfolio is that our team members, regardless of their role, interact with the end users around the globe.

GeoYeti offers competitive pay, a sign-on or relo bonus, and amazing benefits, to include up to 6 percent company contribution into your 401k; 100 percent company paid premiums for medical (to include 100 percent of your medical deductible), dental, vision, life, and short- and long-term disabilities; tuition reimbursement; gym stipend; commuter stipend ($10/day after tax); automatic enrollment in the GeoYeti 360 Bonus Program; and many others.

Provide remote sensing support to develop processes using remote methods, to include advanced knowledge of lnSAR processing and analysis and other remote sensing methods and advise on the implementation of the processes in the unclassified cloud environment.

• Develop processes using remote methods, including Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (lnSAR), plus other remote sensing methods or existing data and services, to operate as a tipping and queuing mechanism for geodetic survey requirements, and once viable processes are established, to guide the implementation of those processes in the unclassified cloud environment.

• Advise customer leadership and Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) on the capabilities and use of lnSAR and other remote sensing methods, including for the purposes of change detection.

• Coordinate with stakeholders as needed to soilicit input on technical requirements, including tipping and queuing thresholds for primary data products, and process accuracy assessment.

• Utilize remote sensors and platforms, and associated processing and analysis tools, to establish high precision, high accuracy change detection methods for use in tipping and queuing of geodetic survey requirements or other geoscientific applications, including natural hazard analysis.

• Provide a statistical analysis of output data quality and uncertainties.

• Evaluate emerging data, services, and sensors for inclusion in the process.

• Solicit post-deployment feedback from stakeholders and refine the process as needed.

• Create or provide revisions to Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), geodetic standards, and other documentation related to process development, standardization, or implementation in coordination with SMEs and standards personnel.

• Brief progress weekly at Staff Meetings, Division Updates, and in other forums as requested.

• Identify additional data sources or optimization methods for Geodetic Surveys processes and procedures using remote sensing methods, and assist with integration efforts across the organization and with other internal and external partners.

• Educate Geodetic Surveys personnel on the process and its strengths and limitations, and demonstrate capabilities as requested.

• Ensure accessibility of data from geographically separated branches, and by team leads in the field.

Required Qualifications:   

• Active TS/SCI clearance required to start. Must be willing to sit for a CI poly.

• Advanced knowledge of remote sensor and platform capabilities, including SAR sensors and platforms

• Minimum of 10 years' experience processing and analyzing lnSAR, to include image splitting, coregistration, interferogram generation, coherence estimation, debursting, topographic phase removal, phase filtering, phase unwrapping, geocoding, phase to displacement, masking out of low coherence areas

• Experience using lnSAR to determine 3D deformation

• Experience applying geodetic and photogrammetric principles to co-register multiple data sets to the WGS 84 reference frame and perform statistical analysis to determine the absolute and relative error

• Experience using SNAP, SNAP HU, Sta MPS, or similar lnSAR processing and analysis software

• Experience using remote sensing analysis software suites, such as ERDAS IMAGINE, PCI Geomatics, or ESRI ArcGISPro

• Knowledge of digital data formats such as vector data, raster data, shape files, GM L, XML

• Knowledge of software engineering and evaluation of geomatics systems

• Experience developing project plans with milestones and deliverables, tracking progress, and subsequent status reporting

Desired Qualifications:  

• STEM Degree with emphasis in remote sensing

• Geodetic surveying or land surveying experience or coursework

• Advanced knowledge of geodetic, photogrammetric, or statistical principles

• Familiarity with sponsor systems architecture, including unclassified cloud environments
