About The Position

XTS is hiring a Senior GEOINT Analytic Methodologist to support the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency’s Office of Sciences and Methodologies (ATS). The role focuses on developing and refining analytical methodologies and GEOINT tradecraft for emerging sensor capabilities, particularly Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Moving Target Indicator (MTI). The work aims to turn complex geospatial sensor data into actionable intelligence and help shape the techniques analysts will use as GEOINT capabilities advance. The methodologist will translate expertise into practical tradecraft, technical briefings, and training for analysts across the Allied System for GEOINT and the Intelligence Community. The position requires a current active Top Secret/SCI clearance and relevant education and experience, or at least 10 years of relevant experience. XTS describes itself as a veteran-owned company and offers tailored health care plans, dental and vision coverage, paid time off, a 401(k) with employer matching, and a GeoAI scholarship. The estimated annual salary range is $105,000–$115,000, with final compensation based on experience, qualifications, and alignment with the role’s requirements.
