Photogrammetrist

Summary

NineFX is seeking a highly skilled Photogrammetrist to support advanced product evaluation, quality assurance, and new-sensor integration for national-level geospatial intelligence programs. In this role, you will perform detailed geometric analyses, evaluate imaging-system performance, and contribute to end-to-end assessments that drive accuracy, reliability, and mission-critical decision making across NSG systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Model imaging sensors and decompose product-formation components to evaluate full image-chain performance
• Conduct high-precision geolocation, mensuration, and geometric-accuracy assessments
• Model geometric collection processes to establish exact ground-to-pixel relationships
• Support engineering analyses and evaluations for NSG systems and emerging sensor technologies
• Execute baseline performance assessments for sensor initialization, calibration, and stability verification
• Monitor, document, and trend system performance over time to identify degradations or anomalies
• Identify root-cause factors impacting product quality and recommend corrective actions

Required Experience and Education

• Active Top Secret; must upgrade to TS/SCI and polygraph within 30 days of hire or upon customer request
• 10+ years of imagery or imaging-platform experience
• Bachelor's degree in Photogrammetry, Image Science, Physics, Math, Statistics, or related field
• Hands-on experience with ARC GIS, SOCET GXP, QT Modeler, Active Earthscape, ERDAS Imagine, or RemoteView
• Demonstrated expertise in geolocation and mensuration accuracy assessment
• Applied knowledge of imaging sensors, image products, and exploitation workflows
• Understanding of systems-engineering lifecycles, independent testing approaches, and data-verification methodologies
• Strong communication skills for briefing technical concepts and producing detailed test plans and evaluation reports

Preferred Skills

• Familiarity with image-quality standards, scales, and quantitative metrics
• Experience with DPPDB, CIB, and Controlled Image (CI Ortho) products
• Background in image processing or digital signal processing
• Knowledge of NSG TCPED image-chain components and workflows
• Experience with Mensuration Services Program (MSP)
• ASPRS membership or professional certification
• Experience in DoD or Intelligence Community operational, technical, or R&D environments
• Ability to develop engineering code (C, Python, MATLAB, IDL) to support repeatable analyses and algorithm development
