Job Description
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Spectral Analysts – multiple positions
Location: Dayton, OH (Wright-Patterson Air Force Base)
Clearance Required: Active Top Secret Clearance with SCI Eligibility
Travel: Less than 20%
About the Opportunity
NV5 is seeking motivated and experienced SAR and Spectral Analysts to support the National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC) and the National Space Intelligence Center (NSIC) in Dayton, Ohio. In this role, you will provide operational support for the acquisition, processing, modeling, analysis, cataloging, and dissemination of non-literal Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) derived from either active or passive remote sensing systems, including Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), multispectral, hyperspectral, and thermal infrared data.
This position offers the opportunity to work alongside scientists, engineers, and intelligence professionals supporting critical national security missions while helping develop innovative analytical workflows, intelligence products, and technical solutions.
About NV5
NV5 is a leading technology solutions and consulting services company with more than 4,500 professionals across 100+ offices worldwide. Through strategic investments and specialized expertise, NV5 helps government and commercial clients solve complex challenges across geospatial, engineering, technology, and intelligence disciplines.
Key Responsibilities:
• Utilize advanced GEOINT tools to analyze and exploit remotely sensed data and produce intelligence products.
• Perform non-literal exploitation of active and passive sensor data, including:
◦ Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)
◦ Multispectral imagery
◦ Hyperspectral imagery
◦ Thermal Infrared (IR) data
• Integrate exploitation results with research findings and electro-optical (EO) analysis to provide meaningful intelligence assessments.
• Conduct quality assurance and quality control reviews of analytical products before dissemination.
• Collaborate with scientists and technical experts to analyze unique, anomalous, and challenging datasets using engineering principles and physics-based approaches.
• Help develop, refine, and improve analytical processes and workflows.
• Identify opportunities for automation and workflow optimization.
• Produce intelligence reports, presentations, and technical products to support mission requirements.
• Complete required security, network, and sensor-discipline training.
Required Qualifications:
• Active Top Secret Clearance with SCI eligibility.
• Bachelor's degree in a STEM-related discipline such as:
◦ Physics
◦ Chemistry
◦ Imagery Science
◦ Mathematics
◦ Engineering
◦ Computer Science
◦ Data Science
◦ Related technical field
• 2+ years of experience analyzing remote sensing, GEOINT, SAR, spectral, or related intelligence data.
• Strong technical writing, briefing, and presentation skills.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office products, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
• Ability to work independently and effectively within a collaborative team environment.
Preferred Qualifications:
• Experience with GEOINT and remote sensing tools such as ENVI, SOCET GXP, RemoteView, ArcGIS, or similar platforms.
• Experience programming or scripting in Python, MATLAB, R, IDL, or similar languages.
• Experience processing and analyzing active and/or passive remote sensing data, particularly SAR, spectral, and thermal infrared datasets.
Security Requirements:
Please note that some positions may require the ability to obtain security clearances that are only available to U.S. citizens. Candidates receiving a conditional offer of employment may be subject to government security investigations and must meet all eligibility requirements for access to classified information.
Join NV5 and contribute to mission-critical intelligence efforts while working with cutting-edge geospatial technologies and a team of highly skilled professionals.
