About The Position

GRVTY is seeking an Imagery Scientist to join its Charlottesville, Virginia team supporting the Army’s National Ground Intelligence Center (NGIC). The scientist will work alongside experts in hyperspectral remote sensing to advance the field. The role focuses on exploiting full-spectrum hyperspectral data, developing and testing exploitation methods, and characterizing spectral sensors from the laboratory to the field. The position conducts imagery science in support of ground forces intelligence requirements and Army information needs. It also involves research, development, test, and evaluation of remote sensing applications; characterization of ground-, air-, and space-based sensors; operating field and laboratory instruments at CONUS and OCONUS locations; and communicating findings through technical papers, presentations, symposiums, meetings, and working groups.

Requirements

U.S. citizenship and the ability to obtain a security clearance.
Graduate degree in a science or academic program that heavily incorporates remote sensing, such as geosciences, atmospheric science, chemistry, physics, or mathematics.
Applied imagery science experience: 8 or more years for Mid level, or 12 or more years for Senior level.
Expertise using ENVI, ArcGIS, and QGIS.
Excellent communication skills and the ability to work independently or collaboratively and communicate directly with customers.

Nice To Haves

Active TS/SCI clearance.
PhD in a related field of study.
Experience leveraging AI/ML tools to train, tune, test, and deploy models.

Responsibilities

Conduct imagery science in support of ground forces intelligence requirements.
