What Impact You'll Have

Deliver space and missile-related OPIR analysis and production that directly informs NASIC's scientific and technical intelligence mission for the USAF, DoD, and national-level intelligence customers
Provide the phenomenology-based tradecraft that turns raw OPIR sensor data into authoritative intelligence on foreign space and missile activity
Support both standard production threads and in-depth Space and Mission (SpaM) analytical efforts, contributing technical depth that differentiates NASIC's intelligence products
Apply signature modeling and target phenomenology expertise to strengthen the community's understanding of electro-optical and infrared target behavior

What You'll Be Owning

Perform OPIR processed data analysis and production in support of assigned production threads, applying knowledge of remote sensing fundamentals, detection phenomenology, and target phenomenology relevant to each thread
For In-Depth SpaM Analytical Support: apply detailed knowledge of OPIR sensor phenomenology, remote sensing fundamentals, detection phenomenology, and target phenomenology to produce higher-fidelity, more technically rigorous analysis
Analyze electro-optical (EO) and infrared (IR) target phenomenology to characterize and assess space and missile events
Apply community standard signature modeling codes to support target characterization and phenomenology assessments
Conduct OPIR data analysis and production tied to specific mission threads, ensuring outputs meet NASIC and mission partner requirements
Translate sensor phenomenology and modeling results into clear analytic products, assessments, and briefings for technical and non-technical stakeholders
Coordinate with sensor operations, PIR exploitation, and other production teams to ensure consistency and technical accuracy across OPIR-derived intelligence products
Maintain and apply current knowledge of evolving OPIR sensor systems, signature modeling tools, and phenomenology research relevant to assigned production threads

What You Must Have

Active TS/SCI clearance (or ability to obtain/transfer) — required to start
Bachelor's degree in a related technical/scientific field (Physics, Engineering, Remote Sensing, Astronomy, or similar), or equivalent experience/military-DoD training in lieu of degree
5+ years of relevant experience
Knowledge and experience in OPIR processed data analysis and production
Understanding of remote sensing fundamentals and detection phenomenology
Understanding of target phenomenology relevant to space and missile production threads
Strong analytic writing and briefing skills, with ability to produce and present technical intelligence products to NASIC leadership and mission partners
Ability to work independently and collaboratively across cross-functional production teams in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment
SIPRNet/JWICS experience and familiarity with multi-INT fusion workflows

What Would Be Nice to Have

Detailed knowledge and experience in OPIR sensor phenomenology, suitable for In-Depth SpaM Analytical Support roles
Significant experience with community standard signature modeling codes for EO/IR target phenomenology
Prior experience supporting NASIC, MDA, or another national intelligence/DoD space and missile analysis mission
Advanced degree (MS) in a relevant technical or scientific discipline
Familiarity with additional exploitation and modeling tools common to OPIR/GEOINT/MASINT production environments (e.g., ArcGIS, ENVI, SOCET GXP, MATLAB, or similar)
Prior work on a NOVASTAR, ATEP II, or similar NASIC-supporting contract vehicle
