Summary

Junior Exploitation Specialist/Photogrammetrist

We are seeking a Junior Exploitation Specialist/Photogrammetrist to provide photogrammetry support to our customer. You will work under the direction of a senior-level photogrammetric lead and help produce multi-source remote reconnaissance packages for geodetic survey missions. The work draws on LiDAR processing and analysis, point cloud generation from Electro-Optical (EO) imagery, and co-registration of multi-source datasets.

Responsibilities
  • Assist in producing multi-source remote reconnaissance packages for planned and ad hoc geodetic survey missions, using existing data and services to meet yearly requirements.
  • Build packages consistent with relevant SOPs and standards designated by the senior-level photogrammetric lead, with guidance as needed.
  • Complete packages at least two (2) weeks before deployment, unless the mission is first announced within that window.
  • Coordinate with the customer's Requirements Manager, Mission Managers, and Team Leads to ensure packages are accessible and to answer questions about content or usage.
  • Gather post-deployment feedback on package usability from the Geodetic Surveys Requirements Manager, Mission Manager, Tech Team, and Team Leads, and work with the senior lead to refine the process.
  • Provide input to senior-level revisions of SOPs, geodetic standards, and other package-generation documentation.
  • Keep the Requirements Manager, Mission Managers, and senior photogrammetric lead informed of status and completions.
  • Identify potential data sources and optimization methods for the package generation process.
  • Help identify data accessibility issues affecting geographically separated branches and field teams.
Required Qualifications
  • Active TS/SCI clearance (required)
  • High school diploma and 2–3 years of relevant experience
  • Basic knowledge of photogrammetry, LiDAR processing and analysis, and EO point cloud generation
  • 1–3 years of experience processing and analyzing LiDAR data or EO point clouds, and documenting precision and error per existing data standards
  • Basic experience co-registering multiple datasets to the WGS 84 reference frame and performing statistical analysis to determine absolute and relative error
  • Basic experience with QT Modeler, Socet Set, or similar elevation/point cloud processing and analysis software
  • Basic experience with ESRI ArcGIS Pro
  • Knowledge of digital data formats such as vector data, raster data, and shapefiles
  • Good oral and written communication skills
Desired Qualifications
  • STEM degree
  • Familiarity with emerging AI technologies, tools, and methodologies, and their applications and implications in the geospatial and intelligence domains
  • Geodetic or land surveying experience or coursework
  • Knowledge of geodetic or statistical principles
  • Knowledge of standard customer products
  • Familiarity with customer systems architecture, including unclassified cloud environments

Security Requirement

Candidates must currently hold an active TS/SCI clearance and be able to maintain it. Applicants without an active TS/SCI clearance cannot be considered.
